At InfoComm 2024, Sharp announced the launch of the new Sharp P-Series projectors, the 6,000 lumen XP-P601Q and 7,200 lumen XP-P721Q. These new projectors are the first Sharp branded projectors developed leveraging more than 35 years of projector experience from NEC. The Sharp P Series professional projectors offer 4K UHD resolution and are geared towards commercial use across a variety of industries and signage applications, including in corporate conference rooms, museums, and higher education classrooms.
Designed to provide years of worry-free operation, the P-Series models have no lamp or filter and are rated with a 20,000-hour laser light source lifespan. In addition, the new Sharp P Series laser projectors utilize DLP imaging technology. The new Sharp P Series projectors come with a 1.6x motorized zoom lens, cornerstone correction and motorized vertical and horizontal lens shift for flexible installation options. The Sharp P Series projectors also come with HDBaseT inputs that simplify installations by providing the ability to run a single cable long distances for video, audio and control. Meanwhile, Tilt-free and Roll-free capability make floor, ceiling and portrait projection possible.
The XP-P601Q and XP-P721Q also have an onboard 20-watt speaker. Finally, the new P-Series models also support a 21:9 aspect ratio, which is becoming widely used in corporate, education and entertainment settings.
Crestron RoomView provides unified management, including the ability to switch the power on and off for multiple projectors connected to a network and an Integrated RJ45 connection offers quick connection to the LAN (10/100 base-T capability). Remote diagnostics enable users to monitor and make adjustments to the projector from a remote location.
While Sharp carries forward NEC’s legacy of quality and reliability in the projector market, the company also maintains a Best-in-Class 5-year limited warranty and InstaCare advanced exchange program or 3-day repair and return for the duration of the limited warranty.
