NEC Asia Pacific introduces multi-purpose projector series for classrooms and mid-sized meeting rooms

Singapore, 20 October, 2014 –NEC Asia Pacific , a leading provider of commercial display and projector solutions, announced today six new digital projectors in its M Series, from 3000 ANSI Lumens to 4000 ANSI Lumens with resolution from XGA to WXGA. The new projector models include the M322X, M322W, M362X, M362W, M402X and M402W projectors.
These series of ultra-durable, filter free projectors come with very low cost of ownership (TCO) and advanced multimedia capabilities. These features, together with clear picture and full connectivity, make the DLP-based M Series projectors ideal for use in classroom and mid-sized meeting room environments, where budget and performance are equally important.

Very low TCO is achieved thanks to the projectors’ filter free design with sealed DLP light engine. Whilst other projectors’ dust filters have to be regularly cleaned, the sealed design of the M Series means no dust can collect on the DLP chips, which keeps maintenance low. Perfect for intensive operating conditions, the DLP chip also enables longer operating hours without colour decay that can occur on LCD based projectors.

In addition, the projectors boast a number of innovative eco-friendly functions. These include the ECO mode, which uses as little as 30% of power, enabling lamp life of up to 8,000 hours. Combined with ambient light sensor technology to automatically adjust brightness based on lighting conditions, these features significantly reduce power consumption. This makes the projectors both a cost-friendly and environmentally sustainable choice for schools and businesses, in line with NEC’s Green Vision.

“Operating hours of projectors in classrooms and office meeting rooms are typically increasing, as users realise the benefits that visual aids bring when they are delivering a presentation. As a result, long-term performance as well as operating costs are important buying considerations. We have introduced features including an ultra-durable sealed light engine and innovative ECO functions that minimise the lifetime costs of our new DLP-based M Series projectors and extend their lamp life, whilst delivering the high performance users expect from NEC,” Said Vincent Koh, Vice President of the Multimedia Platform Unit at NEC Asia Pacific.

The six new projector models bring a number of new features beyond those of the current models, offering additional performance benefits to schools and offices. A large 1.7x optical zoom enables higher flexibility when placing the projectors on a table top or mounting them in a classroom or mid-sized meeting room. This often also eliminates the need to change the position of the ceiling mount with replacement installations. Horizontal keystone correction is introduced on the new models to complement vertical keystone correction, providing further versatility to position the projectors towards the screen.

Advanced connectivity is offered through an integrated wireless access point, which enables multiple devices to connect to the projector without the need for an additional router. This allows users to send content wirelessly from their notebook, tablet or smartphone using NEC’s free Image Express Utility Lite including audio transmission (Windows) or Wireless Image Utility (iOS and Android). A large number of input terminals including 2 x HDMI with 3D support and 3 x USB inputs provide flexibility and future proofing of investments made by businesses and schools. For example, it allows users to deliver presentations and send an image or video from a USB drive without the need for a PC. Plus, by connecting a microphone directly to the projectors via the microphone jack, users no longer have to rely on an external sound system.

The M322X, M322W, M362X, M362W, M402X and M402W models ship with a two-year limited parts and labor warranty, and are available now at an estimated street price as per below.  

M322X (3200 ANSI Lumens, XGA) @ S$1,369
