GEC NEWS WIREDigital Cinema Initiatives certification for NC1100L and NC1040L projectors
NEC Display Solutions Europe has announced that both its NC1100L and NC1040L projectors have earned Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) compliance, making them the world’s first laser projectors to do so.
This certification is proof of NEC’s ability to innovate while still maintaining the standards that ensure quality, interoperability, security and compatibility required in the digital cinema industry. NEC is the first to market with not one, but two DCI-compliant laser projectors, the press release announced.
Ian Gobey, General Manager for Middle East & Africa at NEC Display Solutions said, “The Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) sets the standard for digital cinema projectors while laser projectors offer high reliability, dramatically lower running costs and long life operation, as well as a rich colour gamut, high resolution and performance. This combination delivers the quality and performance viewers expect from a modern digital cinema.”
The NC1100L is also the world’s first compact Digital Cinema projector using blue Laser Light Source, and is the ideal 2K digital cinema solution suitable for screens up to 11m or small projection booths at the highest quality and affordable price. On the other hand, the NC1040L offers a 4K resolution and the world’s widest colour gamut to deliver unequalled image quality for the most discernible cinemagoers. It is designed for screens up to 10m.
By using a solid state light source, both projectors provide up to 20,000 hours – lifetime, with only a filter to clean occasionally, providing lower maintenance costs. Both laser projectors also meet Laser Class 3R on IEC60825-1 Edition2, international laser standards for the digital cinema market – the only ones in the world to do so.
