Network-ready NP610 Offers Green Features, Virtual Remote Technology for Higher Education, Corporate Customers
NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of commercial LCD displays and projectors, announced today the NP610 entry-level installation projector, designed specifically for those users who require incredible image quality with advanced capabilities in a powerful yet affordable package. The NP610 is geared particularly towards those users at the university level, as well as corporate environments, for areas such as training rooms, lecture halls and conference rooms.
With a brightness of 3500 lumens, the NP610 creates brilliant images in higher ambient lighting conditions. With full connectivity (DVI-I, VGA, 3 audio inputs and variable audio out), integration into classrooms is a breeze. The NP610 provides integrated RJ45 connection and remote diagnostics, which enable the administrator to monitor and make adjustments to the projector via the network from a remote location. Its virtual remote technology allows communication over the VGA cable to control the projector directly from a computer, without the need for additional control cables. These features save time for IT staff and simplify the process of maintaining preferred settings.
Additionally, the NP610 allows users to maintain significant cost savings. The projector’s filter requires less maintenance and provides up to three times the existing filter life compared to previous NEC projector filters. The carbon savings meter calculates the positive effects of operating in ECO Mode™, which is encouraged by an optional message upon the unit’s startup.
“The NP610 is an ideal entry-level installation projector that offers all the features our customers need to succeed in connecting with their audience,” said Rich McPherson, Product Manager for projectors at NEC Display Solutions. “From increased brightness and color-enhancing technologies to environmentally-favorable specifications, this projector meets the standard criteria required for integration projectors.”
