NEC Asia Pacific has announced their new PX series professional projector, with the PX750U as the first model. Designed for large venues including education, corporate and retail environments, the PX750U offers 7500 lumens brightness, stacking capabilities, edge blending, option slot and integrated networking functions.
Believe us when we say that this is one of the most epic reviews we've ever put together. Not because it was the hardest roundup we've ever done, but it's by far the most time consuming one and it doesn't even have anything to do with the benchmarks we ran. We thought it'd be a good idea to do a comparative review of the various USB 3.0 host controllers out there, as by now we've finally reached a stage where there's some competition in the market with at least three major players and a couple of smaller ones. VR-Zone is also proud to have a world exclusive first review of the upcoming Renesas D720201 host controller which is launching later this year as part of this roundup.
Japan has gotten a new PC maker called NEC Lenovo Japan which is said to be Japan's biggest PC provider with close to 25 percent of the Japanese market. NEC hasn't been doing so well in its home market for quite some time and the partnership with Lenovo has been on the cards for a while already and has now finally taken place.
NEC has introduced the PA series projectors - PA600X, PA550W and PA500U - designed for business professionals. The projectors boast brightness of up to 6000 lumens, and are stackable with up to four projectors to be stacked vertically or horizontally to provide 24,000 lumens. The NEC PA series projectors are available now.
Just how small can a face-recognition sensor get? Well, many manufacturers may have differing ideas about the extent of "small", but as far as NEC is concerned, such a sensor is not small enough until it has been shrunken down to the size where it is small enough to fit into a compact camera. Amazingly, this happens to be exactly what NEC has done with its new face-recognition sensor, which is currently in the prototype stage of development.
Mention the words 'tablet PC' to most consumers and chances are the mental image they will conjure about such a device is one that runs on ARM processors and comes preloaded with an operating system that is anything but Microsoft's Windows. While that may be true in the consumer space, it would appear that things are notably different in the enterprise space; apparently, there is enough demand for tablets running on Windows 7 for NEC to justify rolling out its own Windows-powered tablet for business users. Japan, meet NEC's VesaPro Type VT slate PC.
NEC Asia Pacific has introduced two new additions to the M series of short throw projectors, namely M300XS and M300WS. Both projectors offer 3000 lumens brightness and claim to deliver crisp images to screens and whiteboards.
Remember how we posted news about various hardware reportedly in short supply as a result of factories either shutting down or operating at less than optimal productivity? Well, the latest information we have seems to suggest that DRAMs are not the only products facing shortages: USB 3.0 controllers have also been affected as well.
