Epson at InfoComm 2025: Practical Projection for Real Campus Needs

Epson at InfoComm 2025: Practical Projection for Real Campus Needs

At InfoComm 2025, Epson kept its focus on what it does best: projectors that are flexible, reliable, and well-suited to the varied needs of higher education. While some booths leaned into spectacle, Epson’s approach was more grounded — show how laser projection can help colleges and universities do more with the spaces they already have.

Cody Parkhouse, Education Account Manager, made it clear that Epson’s mission is to help schools activate underutilized spaces and simplify display infrastructure. Booth 3427 emphasized how projection, when thoughtfully applied, can create engaging, scalable environments without the need for major renovations.

Practical Gear for Everyday Use

Epson brought a full lineup of laser projectors, including several new models with 4K enhancement. Designed for education, these projectors offer:

  • Wide lens options and ultra-short throw configurations
  • Wireless connectivity and BYOD support
  • IP control compatibility and easy integration with major platforms

The idea isn’t to overhaul how classrooms work — it’s to offer better performance, lower maintenance, and more flexibility with the spaces and systems schools already have.

Beyond Screens: Activating Surfaces

A key message from Epson was the use of non-traditional surfaces for display. Instead of being limited to mounted screens or panels, colleges can now project onto:

  • Entryway walls for branded signage
  • Floors for wayfinding or digital art
  • Lecture hall surfaces for dynamic visuals
  • Temporary exhibit spaces or learning hubs

For institutions without budget or space for LED walls or flat panels, this approach offers a flexible, cost-effective alternative — especially in buildings not originally designed for AV.

New Tools and Product Updates

Among Epson’s newer releases were:

  • Laser projectors with 4K enhancement at a more accessible price point
  • Streamlined wireless casting and control features
  • Energy-efficient designs with extended lifespan

These updates support AV teams looking to standardize across rooms while reducing service calls and power usage.

Dedicated Support for Higher Ed

One of the more practical takeaways from Epson’s form response was their commitment to dedicated reps for education. Every institution, they note, has access to someone who can assist with product selection, room design, and integration planning.

“Every institution has a dedicated resource at Epson to assist in selecting the right display technology.”

For higher ed teams managing complex spaces and limited staff, this kind of access can make a big difference in ensuring consistent results across campus.

A Note of Thanks

Epson’s message to higher ed AV professionals who couldn’t make it to the show was straightforward and appreciated:

“We thank you for your past business, ongoing support, and the work you do to shape the minds of the future.”

While not flashy, that tone reflects an understanding of the long-term relationships that matter in this space — and it’s a nod to the work that often goes unseen behind the scenes.

Summary for Higher Ed AV Pros

For AV managers and integrators working in higher education, Epson’s InfoComm presence reaffirmed a few key things:

  • Their projector lineup continues to evolve with classroom needs in mind.
  • Projection remains a viable solution for interactive, large-format content across diverse spaces.
  • The company is thinking beyond hardware — with sustainability, service, and space usage all part of the conversation.

You’re unlikely to find surprises in Epson’s offering — and that’s part of the appeal. For many schools, predictability, serviceability, and support still go a long way.
