NEC offers low TCO through the projectors’ filter free design with sealed DLP light engine.
This series of ultra-durable, filter free projectors promise 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 suitable for use in classroom and mid-sized meeting room environments, where budget and performance are equally important.
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.
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.
“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,” said Vincent Koh, Vice President of the Multimedia Platform Unit at NEC Asia Pacific.
Suitable 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.
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.
“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,” added Koh.
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).
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
