The NEC NP-PA500U Professional Installation Projector with NP13ZL Lens and VUKUNET Software is one of NEC's remarkable projectors. With VUKUNET's Content Management System Software, companies can run digital signage networks by empowering them with tools that take out costs and help grow their businesses. It is a Service (SaaS) solution that is fully hosted, managed and supported by NEC. Developed by NEC, the VUKUNET CMS meets or exceeds the capabilities of dozens of commercial SaaS digital signage solutions, but has none of the start-up or substantial monthly subscription fees that keep many networks from profitability.
The NP-PA500U 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-PA500U 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 PA500U is an advanced professional installation model that appeases corporate and higher education users.
You can also place up to four of them side by side in a row to project one luminously bright and perfectly aligned image. With four NP-PA550Us that's an image. That's an incredible 20,000 lumens bright. It's ideal for larger sized screens. The NP-PA500U 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.
- 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
