LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide, today announced it received four rAVe 2017 Best of InfoComm Awards. As the world's first 3LCD interactive ultra-short throw laser display solution, BrightLink^® Pro 1470Ui, won Best Overall New Product and Best Short Throw Projector. In addition, Epson's new Pro L1700 large venue laser projector won Best New Rental/Staging Projector, and its Moverio^® Smart Glasses rounded out the awards with Best Wireless Accessory.

"Our Best of InfoComm Awards are totally unique, as a manufacturer cannot pay to enter them, they cannot nominate themselves, and we do not award them from a list of limited entries," said Gary Kayye, founder and editor-in-chief, rAVe Publications. "We literally go to every single booth at InfoComm and collectively pick the best of the best we see on the show floor."

The rAVe Best of InfoComm Awards honor the top products showcased at InfoComm across multiple categories, including the following products from Epson:

• The BrightLink Pro 1470Ui is the world's first 3LCD interactive ultra-short throw laser display. The BrightLink Pro 1470Ui for corporate use works on nearly any flat surface, turning it into an interactive finger and touch enabled digital whiteboard – turn it on and start writing – making it the ideal collaboration solution for the modern meeting room.
• The Epson Pro L1700 laser projector is ideal for rental and staging, as well as permanent large venue installations. Enabling creative professionals to present extraordinary content for the world to see, the new Pro L-Series includes six WUXGA projectors with 4K Enhancement¹ ranging from 12,000 to 15,000 lumens of color and white brightness and one SXGA+ resolution projector with 15,000 lumens². The Pro L1700 is compatible with Epson's extensive selection of lenses, which is expanding to include a new ultra short-throw option, the ELPLX02 lens, that projects from 100 inches up to 1000 inches.
• The Epson Moverio BT-350 Augmented Reality Smart Glasses offer an optional multi-user docking station and are optimized for "fleet" environments. With a front-facing 5 mega pixel camera and WiFi connectivity, the Epson Moverio BT-350 smart glasses are particularly useful in providing real-time visibility to remote experts working with technicians installing, repairing or being trained on high-value capital equipment, especially in the medical, logistics and manufacturing fields.
• The Epson Moverio BT-300 (FPV-Drone Edition) Smart Glasses are a best-in-class solution for FPV drones for broadcasting, videography and remote image capture. Optimized for use with DJI hardware, the Epson Moverio BT-300 glasses enable drone pilots to maintain line of sight with their aircraft without having to look down at a smartphone or tablet to view the camera feed, enhancing the safety, productivity and capabilities of videographers piloting DJI unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
