NEC is back with a couple of new short throw projectors – the NP510WS and NP610S which will come under the stable of its NP Short Throw Series. Both projectors are portable units that aim to address the needs of educational facilities and corporate applications which require a short throw distance, be it in classrooms or conference rooms.

As with many other gizmos these days, green is the keyword, and the wide-format NP510WS and standard-aspect NP610S will include a range of eco-friendly features which will prolong the projector’s lifespan, helping your organization save both money and energy simultaneously. Now how about that for killing two birds with one stone?

The NEC NP510WS and NP610S will come with ECO Mode technology that extends lamp life up to 5,000 hours, while achieving a lower power consumption and noise level (29dB) which is whisper quiet, making way for a pleasant presentation for speakers and audiences alike.

The included power management controls will also contribute to energy savings as the unit will turn itself off automatically whenever an incoming signal is not detected from any of the inputs. On the other hand, the quick start function (3-4 seconds) and quick shutdown makes it a snap to use and power off the device without having to worry about a cooling period as well as the lamp’s lifespan.
