NEC NP610 Entry-Level Projector Announced

NEC have announced a new projector named the NEC NP610. It falls in to the entry-level category but has a fairly bright projection of 3500 lumens making it work well in conference halls and class rooms.

For connectivity it supports DVI-I, VGA, 3 audio inputs and variable audio out. Connectivity over a network is also possible although network connectivity is simply for remote diagnostics rather than transmitting presentations over IP. The VGA connector is also able to carry control signals so that the connected computer can control projector functions if needed.

‘The NP610 is an ideal entry-level installation projector that offers all the features our customers need to succeed in connecting with their audience, said Rich McPherson, Product Manager for projectors at NEC Display Solutions. ‘From increased brightness and color-enhancing technologies to environmentally-favorable specifications, this projector meets the standard criteria required for integration projects.
