New portable premium projectors from NEC Display Solutions: NEC NP52 and NP62

Munich, 24 February 2009 - NEC Display Solutions is proud to announce the expansion of its portable projector series with two new premium models, the NEC NP52 and NP62 DLPTM projectors. These have been particularly developed for applications requiring portability and flexibility, with both models having an impressive contrast ratio of 1,600:1 and brightnesses of 2,600 ANSI lumens (NEC NP52) and 3,000 ANSI lumens (NP62) respectively. With a weight of 1.7 kg, the NEC NP62 is currently the most compact 3,000 ANSI lumens projector. Both models are ideal for deployment in customer visits, meetings or in training sessions. With features such as AutoFocus, Keystone Correction, Auto Power On or Auto Input Selection, they are operationally ready in the shortest of times whilst also being intuitive to use. A USB2.0 port offers the possibility of making presentations directly from a memory stick, without first having to connect a computer. An optional BluetoothTM adapter also allows images to be wirelessly transmitted from mobile phones or other hand-held devices.

The two new "Portable Premium" projectors from NEC Display Solutions are characterised by their outstanding image reproduction, combined with quick and intuitive operation. They are particularly addressed towards those users who are often on the road and who therefore require a high performance, portable projector. With their automatic functions ensuring excellent image reproduction, both the NEC NP52 and NP62 provide high quality pictures within only a few seconds, and without the need for any laborious manual adjustments. The devices can be flexibly adapted to the most diverse of different locations with only a few touches of a button. The AutoFocus function - unique in this price class - ensures sharp imaging at all times.

The vertical keystone correction function automatically checks the geometric shape of the picture when the projector is positioned at an angle, so that distortions of up to 40 degrees can be electronically compensated. When the colour of the background screen changes, e.g. due to a change of the presentation location, the wall-colour correction function automatically corrects the colour balance at the push of a button. The Auto Input function also ensures that connected signals are automatically recognised.

The contrast ratio of 1,600:1 and 1,024 x 768 XGA resolution ensure the best possible reproduction quality, whilst the BrilliantColorTM and VIDI technology mean that images are displayed with vibrant colour. With respective brightnesses of 2,600 and 3,000 ANSI lumens, outstanding image reproduction is possible even in daylight conditions. Loudspeakers have also been integrated into both models. The versatility of the projectors is underlined by a USB2.0 port that makes it possible for images to be projected directly from a USB-compatible data storage device, even when a notebook or PC are unavailable. The USB port also allows a BluetoothTM adapter to be connected so that wireless connection with mobile devices, such as smartphones or PDAs, can be made and image data from them directly transmitted into the projector.

In order to keep operating costs as low as possible, NEC Display Solutions employs lamps with a high lifespan of up to 3,500 hours in both projectors. In the absence of an input signal, a timer ensures that the device is automatically switched off so as to further help reduce energy consumption. NEC Display Solutions also lays great emphasis on environmental sustainability - which is why the manufacturer employs, for example, powder-coated, solvent-free housings for both models, and uses packaging materials made from recycled cardboard instead of polystyrene.

Projectors which have been particularly deployed for portable applications need to be protected against theft or unauthorised use. For this reason, the NEC NP52 as well as the NEC NP62 have been equipped with a Kensington lock connector. Inappropriate operation by third parties is also easily prevented by keypad locking and password protection.

Service concept, availability and price

The NEC NP52 is now commercially available. The NEC NP62 will be available later. Included in the package are a network cable (3.0 m) and VGA signal cable (1.8 m), an IR remote control unit, a protective lens cap, as well as a CD-ROM handbook and quick setup guide. The projector is supplied, including accessories, in a carry bag with carry handle. NEC Display Solutions provides a free, 3-year, next working-day service guarantee for the NEC NP52 and NEC NP62 at premises anywhere in Europe. The manufacturer also offers a guarantee period of six months or 1,000 hours of operation for the projector lamp.
