The easy to use ELP DC-06 visualiser is the first in a new range of innovative projector accessories

Epson, the world leader in the projector market[1], today (February 2nd, 2009) announced the global launch of the Epson ELP DC-06, a unique visualiser that is the first in a new range of innovative accessories designed to work easily with projectors, on the sidelines of the company's participation in the Integrated Systems Europe show in Amsterdam.

Ideal for the classroom and education centres, the DC-06 is compact, quick to set up and simple to use. Requiring just a single USB cable when used with Epson's new EB-85, EB-825 and EB-826W projectors, the visualiser enables the presentation of documents without the need for a computer or separate power supply. The new document camera also works easily with other projectors via the use of a computer as there is no need for a separate power cable. The DC-06 has a small footprint and is extremely light, making it the ideal portable accessory that can be carried from room to room and easily stored when not in use.

Providing a flexible solution for displaying documents, the ELP DC-06 has a wide range of features. The camera head has both vertical and horizontal image rotation, allowing users to capture a whiteboard or 3D objects, as well as flat pages, with ease. An impressive 4x digital zoom also enables users to increase images by up to four times.

As with all Epson products, environmental performance has been a primary consideration. The power consumption level of the DC-06 is just 2.5W and it requires no external power when connected to a computer, thanks to its USB connection.

Khalil El-Dalu, General Manager, Epson Middle East said, "The ELP DC-06 demonstrates our commitment to innovation in the projector marketplace, and underscores our leadership position in this segment. We have created an easy to use and extremely affordable portable visualiser that immediately surpasses other document cameras. In the Middle East, customers in the education sector will especially benefit from the many user-friendly features the DC-06 offers."
