The 6,000-lumen PX602WL (WXGA resolution) and 6,000-lumen PX602UL (WUXGA resolution) projectors are, according to the announcement, “virtually maintenance free,” translating into labor and lamp cost savings as lamps no longer need to be replaced every 2,500 to 4,000 hours of use. The single-chip DLP laser projectors boast image q
uality utilizing unique NEC patented picture enhancements. Designed not only for corporate and education environments, these projectors are durable and produce a long-lasting image which opens up new applications in retail, digital signage, simulation and theme parks, according to NEC.
“The eco-friendly features, minimal maintenance requirements and labor cost savings are just some of the key benefits that higher education, business and others requiring demanding integration projectors will enjoy in the new PX Series laser projectors,” NEC Display Senior Product Manager of Projectors Richard McPherson said in the announcement. “Innovative laser light source technology from NEC also means that these projectors can be used in tilt-free, landscape and portrait modes, enabling greater creative expression and new apps.”
Much like other PX Series models, each projector includes an Open Pluggable Specification option slot, the first industry-wide standard to simplify installation, use and maintenance while offering input flexibility for HD/SD-SDI and OPS accessory cards.
NEC Display said it is the only display manufacturer to offer OPS slots in its large-format displays, desktop monitors and projectors.
In addition, TileMatrix enables 4Kx2K resolutions using four PX Series projectors via an external distribution amplifier, saving on external processing costs.
Some of the other benefits of the PX602WL and PX602UL projectors include:
- Multidisplay support with picture-by-picture/picture-out-picture to allow for multiple source content delivery;
- Native resolution of 1280×800 and 1920×1200, respectively in conjunction with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio;
- Power zoom and focus for ease of installation;
- Single HDMI, DisplayPort and HDBaseT inputs provide connectivity options;
- HDMI out to loop to other projectors support 4K resolution using TileMatrix capabilities of the projector;
- Edge-blending technology creates panoramic images with multiple projectors; and
- Stacking capabilities, which allow up to four projectors to be stacked vertically or horizontally to boost image brightness.
The new NEC PX602UL and PX602WL installation projectors will be available across EMEA from December 2014 onwards.
