NEC Display Solutions Europe today announced it’s shipping its new NC1700L RB laser cinema projector. Designed for cinema screens of up to 17 metres (55 feet) wide and built around RB laser light source, the light output is achieved by using a red laser source that NEC says offers a higher light output than comparable projectors and more intense and natural playback of red colour tones. Most laser projectors use a blue light source.

The NC1700L laser projector removes the need for lamp exchange or filter cleaning and allows up to 30,000 hours of almost maintenance-free operation. With its advanced cooling system and low operational noise, there is nothing to distract cinema goers from their cinema experience.

In addition to these benefits, the NC1700L allows for easy installation without the need for a special exhaust system. This installation flexibility is further supported through the use of a much wider lens shift ratio that does not impact on image quality. Furthermore, the projector’s connectivity options make it perfectly adaptable to screening non-cinematic activities such as company presentations or gaming events. These means cinema operators can increase usage and maximise revenue.

The NEC NC1700L RB laser cinema projector will be available this month. Here are the details.
