Digital Cinema Projector Series

NC2500S-A, NC1600C-A and NC800C projectors

Using DLP Cinema® technology from Texas Instruments®, NEC’s digital cinema projectors deliver exceptional image quality, brightness, resolution, contrast and colorimetry. NEC’s award-winning digital cinema projectors are designed with a focus on quality and ease-of-use for movie theatres of all sizes: NC2500S-A for the largest cinema screens (up to 82-feet wide); NC1600C-A for mediumsized screens up to 65-feet wide; and NC800C for small theatres, screening rooms and post-production facilities with screen sizes up to 26-feet wide.

Why Digital?

° Reduced Costs - Eliminate costs of printing and distributing ﬁlm ° Stunning Images - Deliver a truly accurate, life-like image with vibrant colors ° Unsurpassed Quality - Avoid deterioration issues from ﬁlm reproduction ° Audience Satisfaction - Enhance viewing experience of audiences ° Positive Environmental Impact - Eliminate harsh chemicals and landﬁll associated with 35mm ﬁlm prints

Digital Cinema Projectors

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

High Resolution and Contrast - Achieve contrast ratios of 2000:1 or higher by using DMD chips

that support a resolution of 2048 x 1080. These projectors faithfully reproduce digital cinema and high-deﬁnition input sources, as well as input sources requiring superior color reproduction and wide gradation.

One-Touch Operation and Memory Functions - Direct-select buttons for eight stored projector

conﬁgurations; world’s ﬁrst memory functions for lens position and lamp output; simplify display of different aspect ratios through pre-set lens shift position, zoom and focus, while maintaining constant screen brightness.

3-D Presentation Using a Single Projector - Present 3-D content from a single projector, eliminating

the need for a costly second projector

Auto Lamp Brightness Control - Minimize ﬂuctuations that occur during the life of the lamp.

The brightness level will not decrease as the lamp is consumed. These projectors optimize lamp performance and ensure the brightest and most uniform image possible for the life of the lamp.

Trouble-Free Lamp Replacement - Technicians can replace lamps simply from the back of the

projector even in a cramped space

Built-In Web Server - Access and control projectors from any authorized web browser

Minimal Maintenance - Custom DMD shielding protects the projectors from dust, oil and smoke

Optional Touchscreen Control - Conveniently control the projectors from an optional touchscreen

Compatibility with Most Standard Film Projector Lamps - For maximum ﬂexibility, exhibitors are able

to use compatible third-party ﬁlm projector lamps with a lamp adapter available from NEC (NC2500S-A & NC1600C-A)

Convenient Carrying Handles - Built-in carrying handles for easy delivery and setup (NC1600C-A &

NC800C)

Ease of Transport - Especially important in rental situations, transport these projectors without having

to remove the lamp bulb (NC1600C-A & NC800C)

Compact Size - Quickly and easily adapt to every conceivable installation speciﬁcation inside or outside

a projection booth (NC800C)
