NEC attains DCI compliance for full range of projectors

July 22, 2010

NEC Display Solutions of America announced that its entire line of digital-cinema projectors is the first in the industry to reach full Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) compliance.

The new projectors include the NC1200C at 9,000 lumens of brightness for screen sizes of up to 46 feet wide, the NC2000C at 17,000 lumens for screens up to 65 feet wide, and the NC3200S at 31,000 lumens for screens up to 105 feet wide.

The tests were completed by the Research Institute for Digital Media and Content at Keio University in Japan, which is one of three entities licensed by Digital Cinema Initiatives, LLC to perform the CTP tests. NEC’s digital-cinema projectors were certified in Digital Cinema System Specification (DCSS) Version 1.2 as of March 7, 2008, and DCSS CTP Version 1.1 as of May 8, 2009.

“We are beyond proud to be the first digital-cinema manufacturer to have achieved this significant accomplishment,” said Pierre Richer, president and chief operating officer of NEC Display Solutions. “To have a full product line that meets the needs of today’s exhibitors is not only essential, but expected.”
