NEC Introduces PA Series Projectors for installation projectsThree Professional Advanced Models with New Chassis Brings Upgraded Connectivity and Up to 6000-Lumens

Singapore, July 4, 2011 – NEC Asia Pacific, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today its new PA Series projectors with the introduction of the PA600X, PA550W and PA500U. This new series of advanced professional projectors is ideal for corporate conference rooms and large classrooms that require an installation projector.

An abundance of new features have been included in the PA Series that improve its quality over its preceding models in the NP Installation Series. The center lens design of these three new models is an advancement that makes retrofitting existing installations easier and more cost effective. The new chassis also provides enhanced connectivity with HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, allowing greater flexibility during use. Premiering in NEC’s projector lineup is Crestron Roomview, which allows users to directly connect their projector to the managed network for monitoring and control. With a brightness level ranging from 5000 to 6000 lumens and an offering of three different native resolutions, the PA Series is a complement to any large room requiring demanding AV support. The virtually maintenance-free projectors, with up to 4000 hours of lamp and filter life, lower users’ total cost of ownership and lengthen the projectors’ lifecycle.

Additionally, these three new models offer stacking capability, which allows up to four projectors to be stacked vertically or horizontally to boost the image brightness up to 24,000 lumens. This feature is an asset to larger-sized screens and environments with additional ambient light. With Integrated Device Technology HQV, a high-performance video processing and scaling system, users can present with superior image quality using the technology’s pixel-based, motion-adaptive de-interlacing to remove undesirable motion artifacts. Additionally, selectable ECO Mode technology extends each projector’s lamp life, while eco-conscious features like quick start (3 to 4 seconds), auto power on and direct power-off further advance the projector’s lifetime. “These advanced models provide the most connectivity and control options of any NEC multimedia projectors, from their DisplayPort input to their integrated networking capabilities,” said Vincent Koh, Vice President of projectors for NEC Asia Pacific. “The vast amount of aptitude displayed in the new PA Series gives users what they need to effectively present day in and day out. The added bonus of security features in these projectors allows system administrators to feel at ease installing throughout a school campus or corporate headquarters, and subsequently controlling the projectors remotely.”

The PA Series is packed with integrated networking functions, such as RJ45 for quick connection to the LAN and high-speed wireless. Windows Network Projector, Windows Remote Desktop, Windows Network Drive Function and Windows Media Connection Function are just a few of the networking tools that allow users to connect to the shared network, control a networked computer through the projector’s USB input and display multimedia files.

The PA600X, PA550W and PA500U include the following features:

• Up to 6000 lumens in XGA, WXGA and WUXGA native resolutions

• 3D Reform squares the image by adjusting horizontally, vertically or diagonally when the projector is placed at an off-set angle
• Keystone correction helps display the image properly when the projector is set up at an angle to the screen
