NEC's been coming up with a very large number of attractive large-venue display solutions over the past couple of years, and now, they've decided to finally start shipping some of their most advanced projection solutions (touted ever since last October), namely the NC3240S (7kW and 4kW versions) 4K DLP Digital Cinema Projectors.

At the core of these impressive display solutions are the 1.38-inch 4K DLP Cinema Chips designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments, the NC3240S 7kW version single-lens projector actually delivering enough brightness to support screen sizes of up to whopping 105-feet.

Naturally, such a solution also requires a cooling system to match, that, in the case of the NEC 4K displays, actually manages to push air out, thus keeping out dust and other contaminants (the special DMD shielding will also contribute to this).

Additional features worth mentioning as far as the new devices from NEC are concerned include the One-Touch Operation and Memory Functions, allowing users to access and store several pre-set control configurations, as well as the Auto Lamp Brightness Control, a feature that automatically manages the lamp's behavior over its functioning life.

The projectors also offer a very versatile and user-friendly control system, as well as 3D capabilities, when using a dedicated 3D control connector and optional automatic turret to mount polarizers in front of the lens.

“With both increased resolution and brightness, patrons will enjoy advanced imagery that is especially noticeable on very large screens. Our engineering team has excelled in furthering the use of premier components and manufacturing processes to guarantee the reliability that is renowned in NEC products,” said Jim Reisteter, General Manager for Digital Cinema Projectors at NEC Display Solutions.

The company refrained from providing pricing information for their 4K projectors, the main reason probably being the fact that these high-end solutions target a pretty specific segment, and we're clearly not referring to mainstream consumers here.
