Munich, 17 May 2013 NEC Display Solutions Europe has announced the introduction of two new bright and compact semi-professional projectors with advanced connectivity to replace the successful P350W and P420X models. The projectors integrate seamlessly into medium and large meeting rooms, as well as higher education classrooms, where users require high brightness performance but want to eliminate unnecessary installation costs.

The P501X conventional and P451W wide format projectors deliver maximum flexibility through features like large optical zoom of 1.7x, vertical lens shift and in-built horizontal and vertical keystone correction, all within a compact design for discreet integration. These features allow for simple positioning to make set-up easy and reduce installation costs, without compromising on quality. Both models deliver high brightness performance of 5,000 (P501X) and 4,500 (P451W) ANSI lumens, enabling very bright projection onto recommended screen sizes of up to 140-inches in normal office ambient light conditions .

In addition, other tools such as the free NEC Image Express Utility lite software, as well as network streaming (Windows Media Connect) allow users to pull and push content over the network. Remote control and monitoring over the network help to reduce maintenance cost by centralized asset management. The projectors also offer more multimedia capabilities than their predecessors, with audio support over network and USB, a second HDMI input, a powerful 16W speaker and a microphone input.

“For customers looking to achieve top image quality without complex installation or a hefty price tag, the new P Series delivers great customer benefits,” said Ulf Greiner, Product Line Manager Business Projectors at NEC Display Solutions Europe. “For corporate and educational environments with larger rooms, our new projectors allow presentations, images and lesson materials to be projected with high brightness onto bigger screens, for maximum impact when addressing a large audience.”

In line with NEC’s Green Vision , the projectors feature eco technology such as auto eco mode and auto power on/off function.

NEC will offer a free DisplayNote Presenter licence to all customers buying the new P Series projectors, valid until 31 March 2014. To learn more about the collaborative solution as well as the free DisplayNote Presenter licence, please visit: http://www.displaynote-nec.com
