P Series

P401W, P451X, P451W and P501X digital projectors

Easy to use and at the right price, P Series projectors provide all the essential features that you need to connect with your audience. Highlighted by enhanced connectivity and bright images, these models are ideal for entry-level integration environments such as corporate boardrooms, higher education classrooms and government training rooms.

Essential Features for

Integration

• With XGA and WXGA native resolutions, high brightness up to 5000 lumens and patented

NEC technologies, P Series projectors display impressive image quality

• Remarkable contrast ratio (4000:1) enhances your image

• Powerful 16-watt speaker provides volume needed for large rooms

• Vertical lens shift provides for flexible installation

• Terminal cover easily hides cables to create a clean environment while deterring unintentional access

• Versatile, color-coded connections to computer, video sources and external monitor

Top cover lamp change

This feature provides for easy lamp changes without removal of the projector from the mount.

Active lens cover

This cover enables presenters to immediately mute the audio and video, then seconds later lower the lamp brightness to

25% for a short period of time.

Designed with the

Environment in Mind

• Extended lamp life with ECO Mode™ technology increases lamp life up to 6000 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 stand-by mode) minimizes energy costs

• Direct power off provides instantaneous shutdown of the projector

6000-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.

Advanced Networking Capabilities

• Integrated RJ45 connection for quick connection to the LAN (10/100 base-T capability)

• Integrated high-speed wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b/g/n (Wireless LAN module optional)

• Remote diagnostics enable the user to monitor and make adjustments to the projector remotely

• PC CTL 4.0 controls the power switching input selection and other functions while managing lamp usage and a variety of other vital information over the network. Email notification and projector scheduling for better asset management is included with the software.

• Image Express Utility dedicated projector software (IEU 2.0; compatible with Windows or Mac operating systems) 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

• Image Express Lite dedicated projector software provides wired and wireless data transmission via peer-to-peer or over the network

• Windows Network Projector function within Windows Vista connects directly to networked projectors without the need for additional proprietary software

• Windows Remote Desktop function allows you to control a networked computer by connecting a USB mouse and keyboard directly to the projector’s USB input

• Windows Media Connection and Network Drive functions display multimedia files (.jpeg, .bmp, .png, .mpeg2 or

.wmv9) stored on the Windows Media Connect server, in the Windows shared folder, or on a local network using the Viewer function—all without bringing your PC into the conference room

• Crestron Roomview

This allows you to display images stored as

.jpgs from optional USB memory.

Variable audio-out

This input enables the remote control to be used to adjust volume of selfpowered 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 input

Your connection options go even further with the P Series. Connect your laptop or PC directly to the projector using the

USB port and a standard USB cable.
