1. Introduction

Equipped with HDBaseT input terminal

This projector is equipped with a HDBaseT input terminal which can be connected to a HDBaseT transmission device sold commercially.

HDBaseT is a connection standard for home appliances that is established by the HDBaseT Alliance.

Simultaneous display of 2 images (PIP/PICTURE BY PICTURE)

Two images can be projected simultaneously with a single projector.

There are two types of layouts for the two images: “picture-in-picture” in which a sub-picture is displayed on the main picture, and “picture-by-picture” in which the main and sub pictures are displayed next to each other.

Multi-screen projection using multiple projectors

This projector is equipped with multiple HDMI input & output terminals that can connect multiple projectors in a digital chain.A high quality picture is achieved by dividing and projecting high resolution videos among the various projectors.

Furthermore, the boundaries of the screens are smoothed using an edge blending function.

Seamless switch function for smoother screen changes when switching the signal

When the input connector is switched, the image displayed before switching is held so that that the new image can be switched to without a break due to absence of a signal.

Supports HDMI 3D format

This projector can be used to watch videos in 3D using commercially-available active shutter-type 3D eyewear and 3D emitters that support Xpand 3D.

Network

Convenient utility software (User Supportware) provided as standard

The three utility software stored in the enclosed NEC Projector CD-ROM (Virtual Remote Tool, PC Control Utility Pro 4 (for Windows ) and PC Control Utility Pro 5 (for Mac OS )) can be used.The following three utility software on the CD-ROM cannot be used.

Image Express Utility Lite (for Windows/Mac OS), Image Express Utility 2.0 (for Windows) and Desktop Control Utility 1.0 (for Windows)

Energy-saving

Energy-saving design with a standby power consumption of 0.11 watts (100-130 V)/0.16 watts (200240 V)

When the on-screen menu’s standby mode is set to “NORMAL”, the power consumption in the standby mode is 0.11 watts.

“Eco mode” for low power consumption and “Carbon Meter” display

The projector is equipped with an “eco mode” for reducing power consumption during use. Furthermore, the power-saving effect when the eco mode is set is converted into the amount of reductions of CO2 emissions and this is indicated on the confirmation message displayed when the power is turned off and at “Information” on the on-screen menu (CARBON METER).

Maintenance

Maximum lamp replacement time of 4000 hours and no need to clean the filters

When used in the eco mode, the lamp replacement time* is extended to a maximum of 4000 hours. * This time is not guaranteed.

Furthermore, this projector uses large 2-layer filters.When these filters are replaced with new ones when changing the lamp, there is no need for regular filter cleaning.
