NEC CONTINUES TO REVOLUTIONIZE PROJECTION TECHNOLOGY

WITH WIRELESS G PROJECTOR FEATURING WORLD’S SHORTEST

THROW DISTANCE

New NEC WT610 Creates 40 Inch Image From Only 2 ½ Inches From the Screen,

Attains Whopping 3500:1 Contrast Ratio

Chicago, March 31, 2005 – NEC Solutions (America), Inc. introduces the new NEC WT610 mirrored

reflection projector, utilizing NEC’s patented lensless mirror design, to attain the shortest throw distance

of any front projector. The NEC WT610 projects a 40 inch image from only 2 ½ inches from the

screen, and a 100 inch image from only 26 inches from the screen. In addition, the super bright NEC

WT610 projector features a 3500:1 contrast ratio for incredible image quality with deep black detail.

“The NEC WT610 projector enables presenters to perform more creatively, without the worry of

obstructing an image on the screen,” said Keith Yanke, product marketing manager for NEC Visual

Systems. “It also enables innovative projection technology in tighter spaces that couldn’t previously

accommodate a conventional projector.”

Instead of a traditional optical system using a lens, the NEC WT610 features a series of aspheric mirrors

developed and produced using NEC’s exclusive super-high accuracy plastic mirror technology. It also

incorporates NEC’s ImageExpress™ wired and wireless networking technologies for the ability to

communicate from a PC to the projector through a wired LAN system using a 10-base or a wireless

system via Wi-Fi 802.11g. And the wireless option lets users place their laptop anywhere in the room

and switch between presentations on multiple laptops with the touch of a button for added versatility. In

addition to NEC ImageExpress, the NEC WT610’s networking capabilities allow a system administrator

to access the projector to handle remote diagnostics and control, and to provide for real time source

display and email troubleshooting notification.

The DLP-based, 2000 ANSI lumen NEC WT610 boasts XGA resolution and Advanced AccuBlend

technology for excellent display of non-native sources up to UXGA. NEC’s Eco-Mode™ technology

enables increased lamp life of up to 4000 hours along with a barely audible noise level of only 32dB,

and the energy-saving standby mode reduces power usage to under 1W when not in active use in

compliance with Executive Order 13221. NEC’s AutoSense™ technology allows for easy one-touch

setup and operation.

The 13-lb. NEC WT610 additionally incorporates NEC’s groundbreaking suite of security measures to

deter theft. These include the ability to format a PCMCIA card as a security card to disable the

projector to unauthorized users, password protection, a panel control lock, and a lock slot for the most

comprehensive security feature set available today.

In addition, the NEC WT610 also provides home users ultimate convenience and space savings, since

the projector can easily be integrated onto an existing component rack or TV stand.

Complete Service and Support Program

NEC’s WT610 is backed by a two-year limited parts and labor warranty along with a period of coverage

by the company’s industry-leading InstaCare program, providing three business day repair and return or

next business day replacement. According to a recent Pacific Media Associates Reseller Survey, NEC

ranked among the highest in display manufacturers for product quality/reliability and warranty

repair/return programs. In the survey, resellers rated product quality/reliability as the most important

single attribute of a large-screen display manufacturer.

Pricing and Availability

The NEC WT610 is available in March 2005 through NEC’s nationwide network of channel partners at

a suggested retail price of $6,995.
