The NEC NP-PA500U Advanced Professional Installation Projector's native resolution is 1920 x 1200 and offers 5000-lumen brightness, which enhances images for most applications. It can also project video images in the NTSC, NTSC4.43, PAL, PAL-60, PAL-M, PAL-N and SECAM television standards. In addition it can handle both 720p and 1080i high definition programming. And its 100 - 240 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz power supply makes it useable just about anywhere in the world.
You can also monitor and control the NP-PA500U from just about anywhere in the world there's a connection to the Internet. That's because this projector is network ready. Plug it into your LAN via its RJ-45 jack and you can remotely monitor and control it from anywhere on your local network or across the Internet. You can even have it email you when it detects a fault or the projector lamp is nearing the end of its life.
Closed Captioning, from program sources that provide it, is ideal for the hearing-impaired or for any noisy environment like gyms, trade shows or conventions. One of the NP-PA500U's most important features is its energy efficiency. In Eco-Mode lamp life shoots up to 4000 hours while fan noise drops from 38dB to a minimal 32dB.
The NP-PA500U has lots of features you can appreciate while you're in the same room with it too. Setup is easy thanks to Keystone Correction which automatically squares up your image while Autosense detects and syncs the projector with most computers. The Virtual Remote Tool software that comes with the projector allows you to control it from your laptop when you connect them with the VGA cable that's included. No other cabling is required. And if you want to leave your laptop behind, the USB Viewer feature allows you to screen program material accessed from a USB drive. You can even project images onto objects like spheres or cylinders or into corners via the Geometric Correction function. The Active Lens Cover acts like a pause shutter in case you want to halt video and audio briefly to illustrate a point. While there's a powerful 10W built-in speaker, there's also a variable audio output for an external speaker in case you need to reach a larger crowd. The NP-PA500U's wide connectivity also includes HDMI, a monitor output and USB.
- 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
Geometric correction tool allows you to project on spheres, cylinders and more

- 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
- Edge Blending
- This function seamlessly blends multiple projected images to display a single high-resolution image
- Built-In Stacking Correction
- The industry's first built-in stacking correction capabilities (up to four projectors) allows the projectors to boost an image's brightness up to 24,000 lumens, which is ideal for larger-sized screens and environments with heavy ambient light. This feature also prevents the complete loss of an image, which can happen when using only one projector
- PIP/Side-by-Side

- HDMI Input
- Among the NP-PA500U's wide selection of inputs is an HDMI w/HDCP for connecting to high-definition sources such as Blu-ray players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and personal computers
- Variable Audio Out
- This input enables the remote control to be used to adjust volume of self-powered external speakers that are connected to the projector. In stand by mode, the audio out stays active, allowing the last input used to pass to the self-powered external speakers
- USB Viewer
- In instances when you'd prefer to leave your laptop behind for a presentation, PA Series projectors can deliver a solution. Using the presentation conversion software included with your projector, simply place your file onto a USB drive and plug it into the projector's USB port. This allows you to display images stored as .jpgs from optional USB memory
- DisplayPort
- This input provides PA Series models with expanded connectivity with advanced technology
- Input Panel Cover
- This optional accessory creates a clean look for your installation, while hiding signal cables and the power cord
