CHICAGO - NEC Display Solutions of America, provider of commercial LCD displays and projectors, announced the introduction of three new digital cinema projectors, with three brightness level options to match screen sizes up to 105 feet wide. These affordable models, which meet DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) requirements, give more options to theater owners looking to upgrade cinema projector capabilities to digital.

The new projectors can be seen in Suite K at ShowEast 2009, the motion picture theater industry convention held Oct. 26-29 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Fla.

A new, optional NEC internal MediaBlock can be built into the projectors. In addition, NEC offers easy maintenance to minimize downtime through a single maintenance window for both projectors and the MediaBlock/Local Storage Server.. NEC also has created higher strict security and eliminated any potential trouble caused by the interface between the projector and existing screen server (sub-titles/communication problem). Alternatively, the Digital Cinema Projector Series works with existing cinema servers via a legacy board.

The new projectors include the NC1200C at 9,000 lumens of brightness for screen sizes of up to 46 feet wide, the NC2000C at 17,000 lumens for screens up to 65 feet wide, and the ultra-bright NC3200S at 31,000 lumens for screens up to 105 feet wide. The advanced DLP Cinema® light engine provides contrast ratios up to 2200:1, which enable better reproduction of detail in dark scenes.

The NC1200C, NC2000C and NC3200S will be available in early 2010. For more information about NEC's digital cinema projectors, please visit http://necdisplay.com/Products/SubClass/?subclass=Projectors.
