NEC Display Solutions of America, a  leading provider of commercial LCD  display and projector solutions, announced today  the mercury-free P502WL and P502HL models, the smallest 5,000-lumen solid state  light source installation projectors on the market.

The new professional  installation projectors place a premium on installation flexibility.  Horizontal and vertical lens shift address  the most demanding deployments.  Enhanced  keystone correction enables horizontal and vertical image correction for  aligned images, even when the projectors are set up on angles to their screens.   And a complete input panel features  three digital connections, including Dual HDMI and HDBaseT, plus a separate LAN  connection for network and asset management.

In addition, the P502WL’s  (WXGA resolution) and P502HL’s (1080p resolution) laser light modules mean each  projector runs 20,000-plus hours.  They  are virtually maintenance free, which translates to labor and lamp cost savings  as lamps no longer need to be replaced every 2,500 to 4,000 hours of use.

“The beauty of laser  phosphor projectors is their limitless ability to support applications in a  variety of industries,” said Richard McPherson,  Senior Product Manager of Projectors at NEC Display.  “Higher education, corporate, rental &  staging, large enterprises, network operations centers, theme parks and other  sectors considering digital signage benefit from the projectors’ long  lifespans, and their abilities to hold their brightness values and color  consistency for greater periods of time.”

Easier  management and control from advanced software also are key benefits of the P  Series projectors.  The Image Express  Lite Utility function allows up to 16 devices to be wirelessly connected to  each projector concurrently.  Thumbnail images give presenters easy  visibility to each participating device so they can easily toggle between  sources.

Here are some of the other  benefits of the new P Series projectors:

• Quick Start and Power Off
• Up to 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
• Manual zoom and focus for ease of installation
• Extensive input panel, including Dual HDMI, VGA, LAN, and HDBaseT
• WiFi Miracast
• Tilt free and portrait mode
• 3D and adjustable light source
• Integrated software applications, such as DisplayNote, Crestron Roomview, AMX Beacon,       and PJ Link, which allow for complete interactivity and control

The P502WL and P502HL projectors ship with a  3-year limited parts and labor warranty, and will be available in August 2015  at a minimum advertised price of $3,499 and $4,599, respectively.  To register for NEC Display’s Star Student  Program, educational institutions can visit www.necstarstudent.com for more  information.
