NEC's VE281 mobile projector is designed to provide high brightness for small-to-medium-sized businesses, education environments, corporate conference rooms and mobility applications where heavy ambient light is present but the space requires a small projector. This lightweight model is affordable with essential features, including 3D Ready technology, high-contrast images and a powerful 7W speaker. Its automated technologies—from Auto Power On and quick startup/shutdown to a lamp life up to 6000 hours—make it an eco-friendly choice. The VE281 offers the Intelligent Driving Scheme (IDS2) for increased lamp life and contrast.

Technologies

Auto Power On

Powers on the projector as soon as it is plugged into a power outlet.

ECO Mode™

Extends light source life, lowers audible noise and reduces total cost of ownership.

AutoSense™

Intuitively syncs the projector with most computer signals and features one-touch image optimization.

Built-In Closed Captioning

Enables decoding and display of text information from a video.

Virtual Remote

Used over the VGA cable to control the projector directly from a computer without the need for additional control cables.

3D Ready

When combined with active shutter glasses (NP02GL), this projector uses DLP Link™ technology, developed by Texas Instruments, to create 3D images.

BrilliantColor™

Advanced video processing from Texas Instruments delivers exceptional picture management control for both progressive and interlaced sources, while making images more vibrant, colors more realistic and blacks richer with detail.

Intelligent Driving Scheme

Increases lamp life and contrast to improve environmental consciousness

Quick Startup and Quick Power-Off

Allows users to begin presenting within 3 to 4 seconds and allows immediate power off with no cooling required after shutdown to ensure efficient energy usage.
