NEC launches flexi control beamers

Philip Wong | Nov 12, 2008

While InFocus and Epson let you control your projector via a USB cable, NEC has taken two different approaches to deliver a similar capability. The NEC NP400, NP500 and NP600 offer a free Virtual Remote Tool software that allows users to power up, shut down and toggle inputs via a supplied VGA cable. An Ethernet connectivity also replicates these capabilities as well as offers the added advantage of centralized administration for a large number of networked projectors.

Common specifications of the trio include a native 1,024 x 768-pixel XGA resolution, dual PC inputs (VGA and DVI terminals) and a built-in 7W speaker. NEC has also included user-friendly features such as automatic vertical keystone adjustment, automatic power and quick on/off, as well as wall color correction. The 2600-lumen NP400, 3000-lumen NP500 and 3500-lumen NP600 are now available in Singapore at S$1,499 (US$1,064.56), S$1,899 (US$1,348.63) and S$2,288 (US$1,624.88), respectively.
