Description
NEC NP-PA500U Overview
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

Lens Shift
Enjoy greater installation flexibility with up to 60% vertical lens shift and +/- 30% horizontal lens shift
Tilt-Free Installation
The NP-PA500U can be rotated freely (360°) in order to point up or down depending on the installation requirements
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
Edge Blending
This function seamlessly blends multiple projected images to display a single high resolution image
PIP/Side-by-Side
This function allows two sources to be displayed on the screen at one time in either a picture-in-picture or side-by-side configuration
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 20,000 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
