Full-featured and affordable short throw distance solutions from NEC Display Solutions
Published:  08 July, 2009

Fully-featured and affordable, the NP500WS and NP600S portable projectors deliver a short throw distance solution for the education sector. Bright enough for use in large rooms, these models can be connected to the network for remote monitoring and control.

Standout features include virtual remote control, quick start/shutdown, automatic vertical keystone correction, built-in wall colour correction and closed captioning for hearing impaired - outstanding technology solutions tailored to the needs of the education sector.

The NEC NP500WS and NEC NP600S can project pictures with a diagonal of 60" from a distance of only one metre making these models ideal for use in small classrooms. The teacher can lead from the front of class without casting shadows or being dazzled.

The unique Virtual Remote function allows all the projector settings to be directly computer controlled using the VGA cable. Install it onto any computer and the software interface mimics an actual remote control unit. Such functionality is particularly important for the education sector where a single remote control unit is too limiting and indeed is often mislaid.

Centralised network control and monitoring via the RJ45 LAN connection are enabled by the PC Control Utility Pro 4 software available to download free of charge.

User-defined operating times can be programmed to automatically switch the devices on and off either individually or across the entire network. Automatic error messages are sent to the system administrator if a fault occurs making maintenance significantly easier.

Directly meeting the needs of the education sector the two short throw distance projectors offer practical features to help reduce the Total Cost of Ownership. These include an Off-Timer, Quick On and Off, Direct Power Off and an EcoMode function which increases lamp lifetimes from 3,000 hours to up to 4,000 hours. When operating in Standby, the user also has the choice between normal standby and a special Power Safe mode featuring a power consumption of only 3 Watts. This ensures cost-efficiency as well as low operating costs.

With WXGA (NEC NP500WS) and XGA (NEC NP600S) resolutions, the projectors offer a contrast ratio of 600:1. Automatic vertical keystone correction of +/- 20 degrees as well as wall colour correction with whiteboard mode allows the devices to be set up quickly. The LCD projectors have been equipped with a DVI-I interface for digital signals that can also be used as a second analogue connector using an adapter (included). In addition, the RS-232 interface allows the projectors to be controlled and maintained by PC. The integrated 7W loudspeakers enhance the multimedia functionalities of the devices.

Ensuring reliability and protection against unauthorised access, the projectors have been secured with a Kensington Lock connector, password protection, a lockable keypad as well as a security bar, an absolute must in the educational environment.

Both models come with a 3 year warranty.

Models specifically tailored for the education market, the NP600S EDU and NP500WS EDU also benefit from a 3 year lamp warranty exclusively for educational establishments.
