“It is a solid state slighting projector, so it’s not lamp-based,” he says. “It has the ability to have laser phosphor brightness coming out of the projector…With solid state lighting, you have up to 20,000 hours on the light source without changing a lamp. It’s going to lower your operating costs and the time you have to put into your display solution.”
Keith Yanke, Senior Director of Product Marketing for NEC says the company will also showcase its new large format display.
He says these types of displays are typically found in retail, restaurant and airport spaces, but are migrating to higher education.
“[Colleges are] taking our displays, whether they’re 32 inches to over 90 inches for a single display, and using them in café areas, student union areas, and for wayfinding on campus,” Yanke says.
To see the large format displays in action at InfoComm, Yanke says NEC’s booth is serving cookies and coffee to attendees.
“The purpose of this InfoComm is to not only showcase our products, but to showcase how they can be used in solutions,” he says. “We will have a live café with cookies and coffee set up. You’ll be able to order live on a touch screen and the barista will fill the order, and through digital signage, notify you that your order is ready for pick up at the counter.”
