NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider  of commercial  LCD  display and projector solutions, today announced the latest addition to its digital cinema laser projector lineup, the NC1201L Digital Cinema Projector, targeted to modest theaters which will be available in the Fall of 2015.

As part of NEC’s Digital  Cinema Projector Series, the NC1201L projector provides 14-ft. L (using a  1.8 gain screen) on screens up to 39.4 ft./12m in DCI color.

It continues NEC Display’s industry leadership of Digital  Cinema-compliant projectors with built-in laser light sources.  NEC’s NC1100L Digital Cinema Projector, announced in October 2013, was the first. 

The NP-90MS02, NEC’s newest Integrated  Media Server (IMS), offers a trouble-free, one-stop solution for exhibitors and  other organizations, while the projector’s High Frame Rate (HFR) capability  offers excellent picture quality. Its all-in-one  IMS with 2TB RAID5 storage, fast upload of movies via USB 3.0 or Gigabit  Ethernet (possible during playback) and support for playing movies directly  from Network Attached Storage (NAS) offer versatile connectivity and savings  with fewer peripheral devices needed.

Among the key features of the NC1201L  Digital Cinema projector:

• One  touch operation, ergonomic keyboard layout and memory function
• 2048 x  1080 resolution and 1750:1 contrast ratio
• A  multitude of lens options
• Suitability  for floor and ceiling installation with no exhaust system required
• NEC's unique heat exchanger, a patent-pending  system designed to cool the engine while creating a sealed barrier for both the  optical and laser engines
• Built-in  2TB RAID5 Storage Server, 2 x 3 GSDI, 1 x HDMI Interfaces, 1 x USB 2.2, 2 x USB  3.0, 1 x eSATA and built-in GPIO functions

The NC1201L comes with a two-year  limited warranty (for U.S. and Canada only), including parts and labor.

It will be  demonstrated at CinemaCon  2015, the official convention of The National Association of Theatre  Owners, today through April 23 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nev.
