Advancements in Picture Processing, Lamp and Filter Life Reduce Downtime, Maintenance Costs.
NEC Display Solutions of America announced today four LCD installation projectors that deliver UHD Blu-Ray and 4K content support, extended lamp and filter life, and a wider color space, enhancing the user experience and lowering the total cost of ownership for users needing large images or higher brightness on the screen.
Ranging from 6,500 lumens to 9,000 lumens, the latest innovations in the PA Series include the NP-PA653U, NP-PA803U, NP-PA853W, and NP-PA903X projectors with WUXGA, WUXGA, WXGA, and XGA resolutions, respectively.
A key differentiator in these latest compact models is NEC's Scaler Chip, an advancement in picture-processing. The integrated picture processor simultaneously manages a 4K/60p input and shares signal output with multiple daisy-chained connected projectors. It also translates into unsurpassed image noise reduction, de-interlacing, scaling and full 10-bit color processing, giving education, museum, corporate, retail and other industry users a better overall viewing experience.
Additional developments in the projectors' color space conversion include Rec2020 to Rec709 specification support, HDR10 media profile, and 3D support, creating richer images.
"Organizations often face situations where they have an abundance of ambient light in rooms yet still require large, bright, readable content to appeal to their audiences. NEC is delivering on those market demands with its new PA Series projectors," said Richard McPherson, Senior Product Manager of Projectors at NEC Display. "In addition, extended operational life of both lamps and filters help improve the total cost of ownership for users."
Those improvements include increased lamp life of 5,000 hours, filter run time of 10,000 hours, and reduced standby power consumption of 0.3W. These enhancements mean less down-time and maintenance for users, decreased costs, and better energy efficiency.
Among the other benefits of the PA Series projectors:
The NP-PA653U, NP-PA803U, NP-PA853W, and NP-PA903X projectors ship with a 3-year limited parts and labor warranty, and will be available in January 2017 at a minimum advertised price of $5,399, $6,199, $4,649, and $4,499, respectively. Lamps are covered for 1 year or 500 hours, whichever comes first. To register for Star Student, educational institutions can visit www.necstarstudent.com for more information.
