Present with carefree ease using NEC's 5000-lumen PA500U. This reliable model is designed for advanced professional installations and appeases corporate and higher education users. With integrated RJ45, optional high-speed wireless (LAN IEEE 80.11b/g/n) and a multitude of simple-to-use asset management technologies, the PA500U helps users present seamlessly without worrying about their technology. The industry's first built-in stacking correction capabilities (up to four projectors) allows the projectors to boost an image's brightness up to 20,000 lumens, which is ideal for larger-sized screens and environments with heavy ambient light. This feature also prevents the complete loss of an image, which can happen when using only one projector.
  • ECO Mode™ technology helps extend lamp life and lowers power consumption
  • 5000-lumen brightness enhances images for most applications
  • HQV™ technology delivers superior home theater video processing
  • Windows Network Projector function simplifies your ability to present from any computer, whether local or remote
  • Geometric Correction Tool allows you to easily project square images on non-flat screen surfaces without distortion
  • AutoSense™ automatically syncs with any computer signal and features one-touch image optimization
  • Complete line of (5) bayonet-style lenses allows for quick and easy lens exchange (Lens does not ship with product)
  • Stacking correction capabilities (up to four projectors) allows the projectors to boost an image's brightness up to 20,000 lumens
  • Available as a bundle with lens (NP-PA500U-13ZL)
  • NaViSet Administrator 2: Free software solution that greatly eases administration and management of larger display device installations

Windows Networking
Displays multimedia files (.jpeg, .bmp, .png, .mpeg2 or .wmv9) in the Windows shared folder on a local network using the Viewer function—all without bringing your PC into the conference room.
AutoSense™
Intuitively syncs the projector with most computer signals and features one-touch image optimization.
HQV™ Video Processing
A high-performance video processing/scaling system designed for computer signals as well as standard or high-definition video, this technology brings home-theater-quality images to meeting rooms and classrooms using pixel-based, motion-adaptive de-interlacing to remove undesirable motion.
Windows Remote Desktop
Allows you to control a networked computer by connecting a USB mouse and keyboard directly to the projector’s USB input.
Built-in Wall Color Correction
Presets provide for adaptive color tone correction to display properly on non-white surfaces.
Stacking Capabilities
Allows the projectors to boost an image’s brightness up to 20,000 lumens, which is ideal for larger-sized screens and environments with heavy ambient light. This feature also prevents the complete loss of an image, which can happen when using only one projector.
5 Bayonet-Style Lenses
Allows for quick and easy lens exchange. Optional lenses enable the user to determine the appropriate lens to cover projection distances between 2.6 and 283 feet.
ECO Mode™
Extends light source life, lowers audible noise and reduces total cost of ownership.
Advanced AccuBlend™
Ensures detailed images when non-native resolution sources are connected to the projector.
