NEC Solutions newly shipping WT600 has unprecedented short throw capabilities. The WT600 design uses aspheric mirrors instead of a traditional optical lens to create the world's shortest throw, producing a 40 inch diagonal image while approximately 3 inches from the screen and a 100 inch diagonal image from less than 26 inches away.

The WT600 mirrored reflection projector's short throw also gives presenters the freedom to move freely in front of the screen without obstructing the light path. This is a first for front projection technology. The short throw also enables projection in small meeting rooms that previously couldn't accommodate front projection, and offers significant space savings for rear projection screen applications.

This XGA native projector (1024 x 768 display pixel area) has a brightness of 1500 ANSI lumens. The lamp life is rated for up to 3000 hours, and at 32 dBA is one of the quieter projectors on the market. While it is not something we will use in every job, it is a product that definitely fills a niche when space is at an absolute premium.
