Features
Overview: The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 5010 is a Full HD
1080p LCD projector with 3D capability. With the Home Cinema 5010, you can
project movies, videos, games, slideshows, and presentations up to 300"
(diagonally).
Note: The Home Cinema 5010 does not include 3D Active
Shutter glasses, required for viewing 3D content.
C²Fine 3LCD, 3-chip Technology: The Home Cinema 5010
features C²Fine 3LCD, 3-chip technology to give you rich, vibrant images for
enjoying spectacular movies, games, and sporting events in your home, or to
deliver sizzling business presentations at the office. This technology requires
25% less electricity per lumen of brightness when compared to 1-chip DLP
projectors. The projector's 1080Perfect video processing gives you more
film-like images, free of noise or artifacts.
3D Mode: Epson's advanced Bright 3D Drive technology
enhances the brightness give you theater-quality 3D images in your home. To view 3D content, you must first connect a
3D-compatible video device to one of the HDMI ports. You will also need Epson
M-3Di Active Shutter 3D glasses (item # 278AS3DG) for each viewer. (No 3D
glasses are included with the projector.) An external 3D IR emitter (#
V12H484001) is available from the manufacturer if you cannot view the 3D image
normally, or if the projector is located more than 16-1/2 feet from the viewing
area.
2D-to-3D Conversion: The projector's 2D-to-3D Conversion
setting will transform 2D images to 3D content.
Projection Lamp: The projector uses an energy-efficient
E-TORL 230-watt Ultra High Efficiency (UHE) lamp with a life span of
approximately 4000 hours in the Normal Mode. In the ECO mode, the life span is
increased to approximately 5000 hours. The lamp (Part # V13H010L69) and air
filter (Part # V13H134A39) are the only user-serviceable parts. When not in use, the lens is protected
from dust and damage by an automatic powered retracting lens cap.
Fan Cooled: The projection lamp is kept cool by a fan. The
fan noise level is 32dB in Normal mode and 22dB in ECO mode. If the projector is
to be used at an altitude above 4921 feet (1500 meters), the High Altitude Mode
should be turned on so the fan can properly cool the projector at the high
altitude air pressure.
Light Output: In the normal mode, the PowerLite Home Cinema
5010 outputs
2400
lumens of white light and 2400 lumens of color light for bright, balanced
colorful images. The white light output is measured using ISO 21118, a more
rigid standard than the ANSI lumens rating used by many competitors. The
projector is capable of a dynamic contrast ratio up to 200,000:1.
Native Resolution: The PowerLite Home Cinema 5010 has a
native resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080; 16:9 aspect ratio). The total
number of pixels is 2,073,600 dots (1920 x 1080) x 3. You can resize the picture by
changing the aspect ratio to 4:3 or 16:10.
Lens: The Home Cinema 5010 features an F2.0-3.17 Fujinon lens with a focal length of
22.5mm to 42.7mm. It has a manual focus and a manual zoom ratio of 1.0 to 2.1.
If the projected image is not centered in front of the screen, you can correct
the position of the image using the vertical and horizontal lens shift dials on
the top of the projector. The vertical position can be adjusted by up to 96% of
the height of the screen, while the horizontal position can be adjusted by up to
47% of the width of the screen. The vertical keystone buttons, located on the
side of the projector, can correct the shape of the image, if it is not
rectangular. The unit does not have a horizontal keystone adjustment.
Multiple Sources: The PowerLite Home Cinema 5010 has inputs for multiple sources
to give you lots of choices. For connecting to your video equipment, the unit
features two HDMI (Ver.1.4) inputs, a component video input, and a composite
video input. You can also connect your computer to the projector via the VGA
input (D-Sub 15-pin). The unit is compatible with both PCs and Macs.
Note: Two cable clips are included to help secure the
HDMI cables to the projector.
HDMI Link: When you connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices,
such as a DVD player, to the projector via HDMI, you can
control them using the HDMI-Link control buttons on the projector's remote
control. You can register the devices you want to operate in the HDMI Link
section of the projector's menu.
Input Signals: The projector will accept the following input
types:
- Composite: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, M-PAL, N-PAL, PAL60, SECAM
- Component: 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p
- External Source: Blu-ray, HD-DVD, DVD (Region Code 1)
Color Modes: The PowerLite Home Cinema 5010 offers six color modes
to optimize viewing for different environments and image content. The Color Mode
adjusts the brightness, contrast, and color for the best possible picture. A
different color mode can be selected for each input source. You can select from the following
choices:
- Cinema: for viewing movies in a dimly lit room
- Dynamic: for projecting the brightest picture available
- Living Room: for watching television programs during
the day
- Natural: for projecting natural, accurate colors in a
dimly lit room
- 3D Dynamic: for projecting the brightest 3D picture
available (3D mode only)
- 3D Cinema: for viewing 3D movies in a dimly lit room
(3D mode only)
Advanced Color Adjustments: You can adjust the gamma and
individual RGBCMY color tones using the remote control. There are five gamma
settings to choose from (2.0 to 2.4), or you can customize your own settings
from your image or a displayed graph. You can also individually adjust the hue,
saturation, and brightness for each of the red (R), green (G), blue (B), cyan
(C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y) components.
Auto Iris: The Auto Iris system constantly controls the
light output based on the gamma and black/white levels of the projected content
to give you perfectly adjusted images and deepest blacks. Using the remote, you
can select either Normal or High Speed to indicate how quickly you would like
the projector to respond to changes in the brightness of the image.
Adjustable Image Size: The PowerLite Home Cinema 5010 projector can produce
an image that is adjustable between 30" and 300" (measured diagonally).
Lens Projection Distance: The projector's adjustable lens provides a wide
range of placement possibilities for a given screen size. The projection distance
(distance from lens to screen) range is 2.85' to 47.57'. The distance for several screen sizes
at 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios are
given below:

Split Screen Mode: The Home Cinema 5010's Split Screen mode
allows you to simultaneously project two images from different image sources
next to each other. The side-by-side images can be equal size or one larger than
the other. You can also choose which audio source you want to hear between the
displayed images. The Split Screen mode is not available in 3D mode.
Sleep Mode: The projector turns off automatically when no
video signal is received for a preset amount of time. You can set the sleep mode
to 5, 10, or 30 minutes.
Remote Control: In addition to the control panel, the
projector can be controlled by the supplied wireless remote control, which has a
range of approximately 32 feet. The projector has infrared receivers on the front and rear
to give you control from most anywhere in the room. An RS-232C port is included
for connecting the projector to a 3rd party A/V controller or automation system.
Trigger Output: The projector has a 3.5mm Trigger Output
port which delivers a 12-volt signal (max 200 mA) to lower your motorized
projector screen while the projector is powered on.
Mounting Options: The PowerLite Home Cinema 5010 can be placed on a
tabletop or inverted and mounted on the ceiling. It can be used for front or
rear projection. For tabletop use, you can adjust the image position by raising
or lowering the front feet. For ceiling mounting, you will need an optional
projector ceiling mount. Four 4mm threaded screw holes are provided on the
bottom for a ceiling mount. A commercially-available Kensington security lock
can be attached to the unit to prevent theft when installed in a public
location.
Warranty and Extra Care Home Service: The projector is covered by a
2-year parts and
labor warranty, while the lamp is covered for 90 days. Included with the
warranty, Epson offers Extra Care Home Service. A replacement unit (in most
cases, a refurbished unit) will be shipped to you immediately. (A credit card is
required for security deposit.) If it's important that you receive your original
projector back, you should use the basic carry-in service instead of Home
Service.
