Introduction to the VT45 Projector

This section introduces you to your new VT45 (SVGA) Projec- tor and describes the features and controls.

Congratulations on Your Purchase of The VT45 Projector The VT45 is one of the very best projectors available today. The VT45 enables you to project precise images up to 300 inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh com- puter (desktop or notebook), VCR, DVD player, document cam- era, or even a laser disc player.

You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can use the projector to project images from behind the screen, and the pro- jector can be permanently mounted on a ceiling*1. The remote control can be used wirelessly.

Features you’ll enjoy:

Simple set up and operation.

Eco Mode, two selectable options (120 watt for Eco 1 and 110 watt for Eco 2) that allow users to reduce the projector’s light output, resulting in a doubling (Eco 2) of usable lamp life and decreased lamp replacement costs throughout the projector’s life.

A high-performance 130 watt NSH lamp.

Manual horizontal (max 1/3 of widith) and vertical (max 1/ 2 of height) lens shift provides simple imaging positioning.

The lamp life can be extended up to 2000 hours by using the Eco 2 mode.

The supplied wireless remote control that operates the pro- jector from the front side or rear.

Manual zoom control enables you to adjust the image be- tween 25 (0.63 m) and 300 inches (7.6 m) (measured di- agonally).

Keystone correction allows you to correct trapezoidal dis- tortion so that the image is square.

Color Management feature includes Gamma Correction, White Balance, and Color Correction that provides natural and true color reproduction.

You can choose between video modes depending on your source: “normal” for a typical picture, “natural” for true color reproduction.

An image can be projected from in front or behind a screen, and the projector can even be installed on the ceiling.

NEC Technologies’ exclusive Advanced AccuBlend intel- ligent pixel blending technology - an extremely accurate image compression technology - offers a crisp image with SXGA (1280  1024) resolution*2.

Supports most IBM VGA, SVGA, XGA*2 , SXGA*2, Macintosh, component signal (YCbCr / YPbPr) or any other RGB signals within a horizontal frequency range of 15 to 80 kHz and a vertical frequency range of 50 to 100 Hz. This includes NTSC, PAL, PAL60, SECAM and NTSC4.43 stan- dard video signals.

NOTE: Composite video standards are as follows: NTSC: U.S. TV standard for video in U.S. and Canada. PAL: TV standard used in Western Europe.

PAL60: TV standard used for NTSC playback on PAL TVs.

SECAM: TV standard used in France and Eastern Europe.

NTSC4.43: TV standard used in Middle East countries.

The supplied remote control can be used without a cable.

You can control the projector with a PC using the PC Con- trol port.

The contemporary cabinet design is light, compact, easy to carry, and complements any office, boardroom or audito- rium.

*1 Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling your- self. The projector must be installed by qualified techni- cians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. Please consult your dealer for more information.

*2 An XGA image (1024768) and SXGA image (12801024) are converted into an 800600 crisp image with NEC technology’s Advanced AccuBlend.
