NEC India to increase focus on the education sectorMarks its entry in the 3D projection space with the launch of NEC NP216G - first 3D enabled projector for education and enterprise functions

New Delhi, August 23, 2010 - In a bid to increase focus and empower the education sector, NEC India, a global leader in enterprise display solutions, launched its first 3D enabled DLP based multifunction projector – NP216G, at a series of road shows conducted in India.

The NP216G is a portable, lightweight DLP Projector ready for 3D content, allowing users to experience high-quality 3D visuals. NP216G supports up to a native 1024x 768 XGA resolution and features an impressive 2500 ANSI lumens output for high contrast images (20000:1). With the help of Brilliant Color technology, the projector produces rich colored, bright pictures for an immersive 3D experience.

The average lamp life is extended up to 5000 hours with the use of its ECO Mode technology and lowers power consumption to 210W (0.7W in standby mode). Power management allows the projector to turn off automatically when an incoming signal is not detected on any of the inputs, and its quick start (3-4 seconds) and shutdown technology allows immediate use and power off functionality without the need for a cooling period.

The NEC NP216G 3D ready DLP projector is ideal for business and education needs. It has a long lamp life and excellent price/performance ratio and is perfect for use with interactive whiteboards at school or for delivering important presentations at work.
