Epson EB-PU1008W – 8,500-Lumen WUXGA Laser Projector

Product Overview

The Epson EB-PU1008W is an 8,500-lumen WUXGA large-venue laser projector for auditoriums, houses of worship, and large lecture halls that need bright, color-accurate images from a compact body. As a Pro-series 3LCD laser projector with 4K Enhancement Technology, it delivers equal white and color brightness for saturated, detailed projection. It accepts a wide range of interchangeable powered lenses, including a 0.35:1 ultra-short-throw option. This page covers the EB-PU1008W large venue laser projector, its 8,500-lumen output, and its role in fixed-install and multi-projector AV systems.

Product Description

The EB-PU1008W suits fixed installs where a smaller chassis and strong brightness must coexist. Its 0.76-inch 3LCD panels and laser light source, rated up to 20,000 hours, support sustained output with low maintenance and an air-filter design for serviceable dust control. Built-in NFC speeds commissioning, and the optional PixAlign camera enables auto color calibration, screen matching, tiling assist, and stacking assist across multiple units. Wide powered lens shift (V +/-67%, H +/-30%) gives integrators latitude for off-axis ceiling and rigged mounting, including 360-degree and portrait orientation. The interchangeable lens system covers throw needs from ultra-short-throw to long-zoom, with the ELPLM08 as the standard middle-zoom. HDBaseT and a full digital input panel integrate the unit into existing control and signal-distribution systems. For brighter rooms consider the EB-PU2010W, or the black-chassis EB-PU1008B for darker rooms; browse the full Epson projector lineup. Our team can spec lenses, mounts, and signal management for your venue.

Note: lens, camera, mount, and air filter accessories sold separately.
