The P-5000 features a 4.0” high-density LCD viewer, a large capacity 80GB hard
drive, two memory card slots and long battery life, offering quick and reliable
storage back up for professional photographers.
25th September 2006 The P-5000 is the latest addition to Epson’s award-winning
multimedia storage viewer range. Featuring a large 4.0” Epson Photo Fine Ultra
LCD viewer with the world’s first four-colour filter system, it provides an
increased colour gamut and unrivalled image quality. The P-5000, winner of the (iF)
design awards 2007 for technological innovation, comes with an 80GB hard drive
and long battery life, (up to 3 hours of continuous slide show viewing) making
it a reliable storage device for photographers. JPEG, RAW support for major
camera manufacturers and improved user-friendly media management software are
also included in a sleek, sturdy and portable design.
Where standard LCD technology uses red, green and blue (RGB) filters, Epson’s
Photo Fine Ultra screen uses red, blue, emerald green and yellow green, which
enables colours to be reproduced at a more natural level than has ever been seen
before. It also extends the colour range of the red and blue filters enabling
the Epson P-5000 to register a wider range of red and blue tones. This results
in an increased total colour gamut of more than 16.7 million colours, which is
117% wider than S-RGB and is the world’s first portable product to support Adobe
RGB colour space1 . Combined with a screen size of 4.0” and a resolution of 640
x 480 pixels, the Photo Fine Ultra LCD viewer supports the latest ultra-high
resolution cameras and marks a new standard of excellence in the storage device
market.
Epson has incorporated a number of features that ensure the P-5000 is a truly
professional back-up tool for photographers. An 80GB storage capacity allows you
to store up to 4,500 files in RAW format . You can free images from your digital
camera by simply inserting your memory card into the card slot and downloading
your photos. Back-up speed is incredibly fast with a transfer rate of
approximately 155 seconds for 1GB of data from a Compact Flash card. You can
also back-up via USB 2.0, transfer images from your P-5000 to an external hard
drive and print directly to any Epson USB compatible printer.
The Epson P-5000 enables photographers to check all the metadata stored
including exposure, colour and composition of images, which is ideal when you’re
on location. So if you’ve captured the perfect photo, you can easily review its
precise settings in order to replicate it. You can also assign your own quality
ratings to your photos choosing between one to five stars, where five is for
your favourite or best shots. You can then browse your photos according to your
ratings and download the best work via link2 software or AdobeBridge for fast
editing.
The P-5000 has a strong zoom function of up to 400% , so you can view images in
the greatest of detail. The powerful processing unit makes the viewing of
full-frame images and thumbnails incredibly fast.
The browser function accommodates three viewing modes; 12 thumbnails, 64
thumbnails or a list of files. It only takes six seconds to display 64 thumbnail
photos, which allows you to find the photo you are searching for quickly and
easily. Files are secure with the P-5000 folder protection feature, you can
password protect your folders to prevent any unauthorised access to your files.
With additional multimedia appeal, the P5000 is the world’s first portable
product to support xvYCC video colour space. This is an extended colour space
for video application, which gives vivid colour reproduction. It also supports
MP3, AAC, WMA formats for music and DiVX, MPEG 1/2/4, AVC, WMV9 and Motion JPEG
formats for movies, so you can enjoy your favorite songs and videos while you’re
on the road. The new Link2 software allows easy management of photo, music and
movie files.
Mark Robinson, Product Manager at Epson UK says, “The P-5000 is the first
multimedia storage device in the world to feature a 4.0” Epson Photo Fine Ultra
LCD viewer with a four-colour filter. This technology achieves an unrivalled
colour gamut, which is of significant benefit to photographers, as photos appear
with incredible detail and vividness. Reliability is also crucial for
professionals and the long battery life and 80GB hard drive ensure a large
amount of photos can be stored and viewed when you are on location. With these
features, the P-5000 makes an ideal back-up tool for professional photographers
and was built for durability and efficiency with an ergonomic design in a sleek
and sturdy casing.”
