Remember the Essentials

A lens is required but not included for this item. Please be sure to purchase the lens that best suits your needs.

The NEC NP-PA500X Professional Installation Projector is one of NEC's stackable projectors. No, you don't stack them on top of each other. You can place up to four of them side by side in a row to project one luminously bright and perfectly aligned image. With four NP-PA500Xs that's an image. That's an incredible 20,000 lumens bright. It's ideal for larger sized screens. The NP-PA500X can project a 500" (12,700mm) image or where there is a great deal of ambient light. This feature also prevents the complete loss of an image, which can happen when using only one projector.

The NP-PA500X offers much more, however. Its network ready thanks to an RJ45 jack for wired networks. Each projector has its own HTTP page and a group of projectors can be managed from a single remote location. You can even have a projector email you a status report when certain events occur, like when the lamp is nearing the end of its life.

Unlike many projectors the NP-PA500X is backed up by a full line of bayonet-style lenses. Capture your audience's attention with this bright and bold projector. NEC's 5000-lumen PA500X is an advanced professional installation model that appeases corporate and higher education users.

Flexibility Enables Performance
Integrated Device Technology HQV is a high-performance video processing/scaling system designed for computer signals as well as standard or high-definition video. The technology produces superior video processing using pixel-based, motion-adaptive de-interlacing to remove undesirable motion artifacts typical of interlaced signals. This processing creates life-like images in applications such as video conferencing
Bright enough for most applications: 5000 lumens
Geometric correction tool allows you to project on spheres, cylinders and more
Integrated Networking and Asset Management
Integrated RJ45 connection for quick connection to the LAN (10/100 base-T capability)
Integrated high-speed wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b/g
Desktop control allows you to securely transmit information wirelessly to the projector from a docking station or PC in another room
Image Express Utility (IEU 2.0; compatible with Windows or Mac operating systems) dedicated projector software provides wired and wireless data transmission via peer-to-peer or over the network
Broadcast mode allows you to send information from one computer to several projectors

Designed with the Environment in Mind
Extended lamp life with Eco-Mode technology increases lamp life up to 4000 hours, while lowering power consumption
Power management enables projector to automatically turn off when an incoming signal is not detected from any of the inputs
Auto Power On via the RGB (15-pin) input connector when a signal is detected from a computer
Carbon savings meter calculates the positive effects of operating the projector in Eco-Mode, which is encouraged by an optional message at startup. A green Eco-Mode button on the remote control makes the switch easy
Quick start (3 to 4 seconds) lets you begin presenting in seconds while quick shutdown (immediate power off with no cooling required after shutdown) ensures efficient energy usage
Sleep timer can be set to automatically turn off the projector at set countdown times
Low power consumption (0.2W in standby mode) minimizes energy costs
Direct power off provides instantaneous shutdown of the projector
4000 Hour Filter Life
NEC is committed to designing its products to provide long lifecycles. This commitment even extends to components within its products, including the improved filter. This virtually maintenance-free filter reduces the frequency at which cleaning is required, thereby decreasing your total cost of ownership
