							From school to training, 
business to seminar.
Youre looking for a flexible projector for
your education and training institute? You
want an all-rounder for your company 
that anyone can operate with ease? What-
ever high-quality presentations you wish 
to make – and wherever you wish to make
them – one of our new VTs will be happy 
to illuminate your work with its excellent
technical specifications.
Brilliant intensity, in large rooms 
as well.
Even our entry model, the VT58, has 
1,600 ANSI Lumens for powerful radiance.
It thus offers astonishing luminosity for 
a projector of its category. But its sister
models, the VT480/580, are just as accom-
plished. With 2,000 ANSI Lumens, their
bright, crisp images dazzle audiences – 
no matter how large the seminar or 
meeting room.
Greatest user convenience and 
handy new features.
NEC has put many years of experience 
into developing an intuitive, effortless user
menu. Valuable functions and innovative
features optimise the projectors unique
ease of operation.
Rating: Essential!
Why not take a look into the near future: whether you
choose the entry model VT58 or one of the two professional models 
VT480 or VT580, you will soon find it indispensable. You wont know 
how you managed before.
Thanks to Quick-Start, 
you can begin immediately.
NECs new VTs indulge users with a level 
of comfort never seen before, including, for
example, an innovative Quick-Start func-
tion, which starts the projector at lightning
speed. But even more: the VTs identify the
input signal – whether from PC, DVD player
or another source – in a flash, and adapt in
seconds. You save time and can begin your
presentation immediately.
Quick Power-Off: save time when
shutting your VT down.
Your VT also saves valuable time when you
are finished. Thanks to its Quick Power-Off
function, it shuts down faster than your
laptop, reducing cool-down time to a 
minimum. After only 30 seconds, the fan 
is off and you can hurry to your next mee-
ting with your VT. By the way, the VTs also
have an integrated Off-Timer function 
that automatically turns them off at the
time youve programmed.
SDTV Deinterlacer for optimised 
video playback.
No matter whether you want to show your
seminar participants a film or play your
customers a product video – the integrated
SDTV Deinterlacer gives you improved video
playback, guaranteeing outstanding visual
results.
Do you want to step into the world of 
modern projecting with a top projector? Or 
a consummate all-rounder thats great for
virtually any professional purpose? NECs
new VT models open up a myriad of possibi-
lities and wealth of applications. They also
have exceptional extras and value for the
money youll hardly find elsewhere.
What makes the new VTs so exceptional?
Thats easy: they include the best, most 
reliable and tried and true features of their
successful predecessors. These three new
projectors have now been enhanced with
numerous special features to create a series
far exceeding anything in its class. 
						

							Just as attractive as functional: 
the new VTs place premium value on design.
Education, training and business require 
the widest range of connectivity options.
The VTs are a dream come true.
Barely audible operating noise.
Especially when you present training films,
the ideally suited projector should walk
softly. Here again, your new VT is exem-
plary: at only 25 dB (VT58) or 29 dB
(VT480/580), it runs so quietly that youll
have to perk up your ears to hear it at all.
Minimal weight for maximum 
flexibility.
The three VTs make it easy to present in
different rooms. At only 2.8 kg (VT58)/
2.9 kg (VT480/580), they are highly port-
able and gladly accompany you anywhere.
Perfect adjustment with vertical
Keystone Correction.
Modern presentation often means chang-
ing rooms quickly, e.g. classrooms. Your VT
has not the slightest problem with this.
Just set it up and turn it on – your image
will appear perfectly, based on the vertical
projection angle.
An additional comfortable IT feature is 
the VT480/580s remote control with 
Mouse Control function.
Eco Mode is even more economical.
If you dont need your VT for a few mo-
ments during a seminar or meeting, just
switch it into Eco Mode. This saves energy
and reduces operating noise and lamp 
usage. The lamp life of the new VTs, by the
way, can reach approximately 3,000
(VT480/580) or 4,000 hours (VT58). Apro-
pos economy: it is even possible to run a
signal through while in standby. This saves
energy while allowing you to check your
presentation on the control monitor before
showing it to your audience.
Always ready to go. 
NECs unrivaled service with 3-year war-
ranty in Europe is an especially attractive
bonus.
Easy to operate from A to Z! Teachers, trainers, managers or seminar-holders:
all want to present like professionals – without first taking Projector 
Operation 101. VT480, VT58 and VT580 – whichever you choose, all are 
extremely user-friendly. With Plug&Play, an intuitive menu with 21 languages, 
a clearly structured operating panel and 
convenient remote control.
Improved wall colour correction 
for walls of various colours.
Thanks to improved wall colour correction,
the VTs optimally harmonise image colours
to the colour of the projection surface, for
true-to-colour pictures anywhere. Even if
your projection surface is a schoolroom
blackboard, the projected image will look
just as it would if you were projecting onto
a white screen.
VT + laptop or PC: a great team!
The VT58 has an RGB analogue input for
easy connection to a computer. The VT480
and VT580 both have two inputs. This 
means that a second PC or laptop can be
connected to a permanently installed pro-
jector.

these high-tech features!
