NEC Launches 8,000 lumens projector
NEC
Display Solutions has released the first projector in the 8,000-lumen laser category.
The
single-chip DLP PX803UL projector requires
virtually no lamp replacement, with up to 20,000 hours of
maintenance-free
operation. The
longer life span and
sealed optical engine means that, under some circumstances, the
projector can
run 24 hours a day, if necessary. The selection of wide zoom lenses,
wide
vertical and horizon lens shift capacity and control code emulation
aim to make
installation fairly easy.
The
quality of images should be enhanced by the
high brightness with up to 4K input signal and advanced color
processing
technology. As for connectivity, company representatives stated the new
projector has
the world's first HDMI-out
interface.
Users can take advantage of portrait mode projection, 360-degree free tilt
installation, unique geometric adjustment and 3D support. With its
NaViSet
Administrator 2, users can manage all connected display devices from a
centralized location.
"The
high
reliability, high-durability laser model is an appealing new option for
digital
signage and other market applications that haven't used projectors
before,"
said NEC Display's senior product manager of projectors, Richard
McPherson. "Because
the PX803UL
projector is the first of its kind in this market category, it
gives industries the opportunity to remain ahead of the curve in terms
of
projection."
Other
features of the PX803UL
include:
- Quick
Start function, which allows the projector to reach the required
brightness level quickly;
- 1,920 x 1,200 resolution;
- 10,000:1
contrast;
- Available
in black or white;
- Lens
throw distances ranging from 1.5 to 180 feet;
- Capability
to project uncompressed full HD video; and
- Integrated
software applications like DisplayNote, Crestron Roomview,
AMX Beacon and PJ Link.
The
PX803UL will be available in February with a minimum advertised
price of $16,999.
