NEC introduces one of the World's Versatile 3000 ANSI lumens Projector at only 1.6 kg - New Automatic Projectors Provide Lightweight, High Performance Features

SINGAPORE, 13 November 2006 - NEC Solutions Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (NECSAP), is proud to introduce three latest NP projectors, a range of lightweight projectors weighing no more than 1.6 kilograms and shoot up to 3,000 ANSI lumens brightness. A special cooling system allows for an extremely compact shape and extended lamp life.

NEC’s three new DLP projectors - the NP40, the NP50, and the NP60 - features a state of art new cooling system. This innovative system uses a cooling pump, to pump high pressure high velocity air around the lamp dramatically improving the cooling efficiency. With the new cooling system, the body can be further reduced in size compared with ordinary projectors that use a single cooling fan. Measuring only 246 mm x 72 mm x 177 mm, the NP60 is one of the world’s smallest 3,000 ANSI lumens projector and therefore ideally suited for mobile use. Even presentations in rooms flooded with daylight are no problem for the NP60 projector.

The 1,024 x 768 XGA resolution and high contrast ratio of 1,500 : 1 for the NP40 and 1,600 : 1 in the NP50 and NP60, guarantee brilliant image rendition. All three projectors have a long list of features. The only difference between the NP40 and NP50 and the top model is their slightly lower brightness levels of 2,200 and 2,600 ANSI lumens respectively. The ‘Quick Start’ and ‘Direct-Power-Off’ functions shorten waiting periods before and after presentations, which means that there is no need to wait for the projector to cool down before switching it off. The Auto Focus System featured in the predecessor model has been improved and ensures razor-sharp images in next to no time without manual adjustment.

For users who prefer manual operation: manual fine-tuning has now been made even easier and more precise. Automatic wall colour correction ensures colour reliability when projecting onto coloured backgrounds and automatic digital keystone correction gives users more freedom when selecting a location for the projector. All three models come with a remote control and a soft case.

All the new projectors will be available by beginning December 2006 through authorised NEC distributors/dealers. For more information, please call Jamez Liu at (65) 63792 338 or visit http://www.nec-pj.com.
