Built around the creative theme Larger Than Life, Epson is heading to Integrate 2026 with an immersive showcase designed to demonstrate just how far professional projection can be pushed.
From 2–4 September at ICC Sydney, stand HK12, Epson will bring together its latest professional projection technology across large venues, live events, education, corporate spaces, retail, hospitality and digital signage.
Rather than focusing on brightness alone, the showcase will demonstrate the broader demands now being placed on professional projection: image quality and scale, but also installation flexibility, connectivity, reliability and the ability to adapt to very different environments.
And Epson intends to make the point visually.
Larger Than Life
The stand’s Larger Than Life theme uses ultra-high-resolution macro photography of insects to reveal textures, patterns and colours normally invisible to the naked eye.
Combined with oversized foliage and natural elements throughout the space, the installation will surround visitors with amplified imagery designed to showcase Epson’s strengths in large-format display, colour reproduction and fine detail.
At the centre of it all will be something considerably more powerful.
30,000 lumens in a surprisingly small package
The headline product at Integrate will be the Epson EB-XQ2030B, a new projector scheduled to launch later in 2026.
Epson describes it as the world’s smallest and lightest 30,000-lumen 4K projector, putting an enormous amount of projection power into a form factor designed to be easier to transport, install and manage.
That’s particularly relevant for large venues, live events, visitor attractions and rental and staging operations, where size and weight become very practical considerations once equipment needs to be moved and installed repeatedly.
The EB-XQ2030B combines Epson’s 4K Crystal Motion with 3LCD laser technology, while the company’s patented Advanced Cooling Engine is designed to support reliable operation under demanding conditions.
It is also Intel SDM-ready, while compatibility with Epson’s shared high-brightness lens platform means existing lenses can potentially move between installations rather than becoming another sunk cost with every projector upgrade.
Going big in the classroom
The second major preview takes Epson in a very different direction.
Launching in early 2027, the EB-870Ei is an interactive ultra-short-throw laser projector aimed at education and collaborative environments.
Its ultra-short-throw design allows a large image to be projected while keeping the projector close to the wall, reducing the shadows and glare that can make conventional projection awkward in classrooms and meeting spaces.
The EB-870Ei combines 4K Enhancement technology with interactive functionality, built-in wireless connectivity and Apple AirPlay support, allowing teachers, students and teams to share and work with content on a large display.
Beyond the hero products
Epson will also use Integrate to demonstrate how its projection range fits across considerably different environments.
The EB-L795SE is a 7,000-lumen short-throw laser projector with WUXGA resolution and 4K Enhancement, 1.7x optical zoom and support for display sizes up to 400 inches. AirPlay and Miracast are built in, while Epson rates the laser light source for up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation.
Alongside it, the EB-L690SE delivers 6,000 lumens with WUXGA resolution and 4K Enhancement. Its 0.5–0.7:1 short throw ratio is aimed at installations where space is limited, while lens shift, 1.4x optical zoom, keystone correction and 360-degree mounting give installers considerably more freedom in how it is deployed.
Both models support Epson’s optional ELPEC01 external camera.
For meeting rooms and hybrid workspaces, the EB-810E takes the ultra-short-throw approach, producing an image of up to 160 inches while sitting close to the wall.
It offers 5,000 lumens brightness, 1080p resolution with 4K Enhancement, multi-projection capabilities and setup through Epson’s Setting Assistance app.
Then there’s the rather different EV-115 LightScene.
Designed to resemble a spotlight rather than a conventional projector, the 2,200-lumen LightScene is intended for retail, hospitality, museums and events where the projection hardware needs to become part of the environment rather than dominate it.
A built-in media player, wireless content upload and playlist playback allow it to operate as a self-contained digital signage and visual merchandising platform.
Projection beyond the spec sheet
Integrate is ultimately a trade show, and specifications are only part of the equation.
For consultants, integrators, venue operators, educators, event specialists and designers, the more useful part of Epson’s presence may be seeing these technologies operating together and being able to talk through the practicalities of deploying them.
A 30,000-lumen projector and an interactive classroom projector solve very different problems. A LightScene installation in a museum has little in common with a 160-inch meeting-room display.
Putting them together on one stand is a useful demonstration of just how broad professional projection has become.
And with Larger Than Life, Epson isn’t exactly planning to demonstrate that quietly.
