EPSON TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTS EUROPEAN ATHLETICS
Epson’s history with athletics dates back to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics when Seiko Epson Corporation
was chosen to provide high precision crystal chronometers and printing timers. Today the company
continues to support athletics through its partnership with European Athletics. Epson’s services to
European Athletics, including innovative media and commentator information systems, have come
to be trusted by athletes, audiences and the media worldwide. It is thanks to the unique display
terminals, of which there may be several hundreds at any major event, that journalists, TV and radio
commentators are able to receive the latest results, past records and other useful information simply
by touching the screen. Whether through the latest digital imaging products or partnerships such
as with European Athletics, Epson strives to nurture talent and to enable people not only to meet
but to exceed their expectations. With this in mind. the Epson Performance Evaluation System was
developed to analyse field events from new angles. The three-dimensional analysis that follows each
jump provides television viewers with information they did not have access to in the past - such as
the accuracy of the jump - as well as providing athletes with the means to better understand and
improve their performances.
Epson is a global leader in imaging products including printers, 3LCD projectors and small- and
medium-sized LCDs. With an innovative and creative culture, Epson is dedicated to exceeding the
vision and expectations of customers worldwide with products known for their superior quality,
functionality, compactness and energy efficiency.
