NEC Projector Pa500x Specifications

							Powerful installation projectors equipped to take on the most 
demanding integration projects.
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: 6000 lumens (PA600X), 5500 l\
umens (PA550W), 5000 lumens (PA500U and PA500X)
° Geometric correction tool allows you to project on spheres, cylinde\
rs and more
INTEGRATED NETWORKING AND ASSET MANAGEMENT
° Integrated RJ45 connection for quick connection to the LAN (10/100\
 base-T capability)
° Integrated high-speed wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b/g
° Desktop control allows you to securely transmit information wireles\
sly to the projector from a docking station or PC in another room
° Image Express Utility (IEU 2.0; compatible with Windows or Mac ope\
rating systems) dedicated projector software 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
° Windows Network Projector function within Windows Vista connects di\
rectly 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 Network Drive Function displays multimedia 
   files (.jpeg, .bmp, .png, .mpeg2 or .wmv9) in the 
   Windows shared folder on a local network using the 
   Viewer function—all without bringing your PC into the 
   conference room
° Windows Media Connection Function displays 
   multimedia files (.mpeg2, .jpeg or .wmv9) stored on the 
   Windows Media Connect server or a local network 
   using the Viewer function—all without bringing your 
   PC into the conference room
SECURITY FEATURES PROVIDE PEACE OF MIND
° Cabinet control lock setting enables user to deactivate  
   buttons on cabinet to prevent unwanted changes to  
   projector settings
° Logo lock restricts changes to logo saved in projector  
   memory
° Password protection restricts unauthorized use of  
   projector
° Email notification informs the system administrator  
   when the lamp approaches the end of its useful life

Professional Installation 
Projectors
PA Series  
PA600X, PA550W, PA500U and PA500X digital projectors 
Lens Shift 
Enjoy greater installation 
flexibility with up to 60% 
vertical lens shift and  
+/- 30% horizontal lens shift.
Tilt-Free 
Installation 
PA Series models 
can be rotated 
freely (360°) in 
order to point 
up or down 
depending on 
the installation 
requirements.  
						

							DICOM SIM  
DICOM Simulation 
enables users 
in medical 
environments to 
display accurate 
diagnostic images.

white surfaces.
BUILT-IN SOFTWARE
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.
4000-hour filter life
NEC is committed to designing its products to provide long lifecycles. T\
his commitment even extends to 
components within its products, including the improved filter. This vi\
rtually maintenance-free filter reduces the 
frequency at which cleaning is required, thereby decreasing your total c\
ost of ownership.
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 mak\
es the switch easy. 
° Quick start (3 to 4 seconds) lets you begin presenting in seconds while quick shutdown (immediate p\
ower 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 tim\
es
° Low power consumption (0.2W in stand-by mode) minimizes energy costs
° Direct power off provides instantaneous shutdown of the projector 
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. 
						

							GET CONNECTED WITH A WIDE SELECTION OF INPUTS
° Dual computer inputs ensure quick switching between presentations
° Four audio inputs (two mini stereo [Comp1 & Comp2], R/L [RCA - shared b\
y video sources] and HDMI) make it easy to add sound 
   to enhance your presentations
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.
Input panel cover
This optional accessory 
creates a clean look for 
your installation, while 
hiding signal cables and 
the power cord.
Remote control
Easy control 
from remote 
allows you to 
adjust lamp 
mode, aspect 
ratio, volume 
and image 
all with the 
touch of a 
button.
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.
HDMI input
Among the PA 
Series’ 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.
DisplayPort
This input provides PA Series models with 
expanded connectivity with advanced 
technology.
ADVANCED SOFTWARE FEATURES
Geometric Correction
Projecting an image isn’t confined to 
a standard flat screen or wall with the 
NEC PA Series. Geometric correction 
allows these models to project an im-
age on spheres, cylinders, corner angles 
and many more non-standard surfaces.
Cornerstone 
Enhanced keystone correction allows for horizontal, vertical and diagona\
l image 
correction for aligned images even when the projector is set up at an an\
gle to the 
screen.
Virtual Remote™ (DDC/CI) 
Used over the VGA cable, you can control the projector 
directly from a computer without the need for additional 
control cables.
