Sharp NP-PH3501QL – 40,000-Lumen 4K 3-Chip DLP RB Laser Projector (No Lens)

Product Overview

The Sharp NP-PH3501QL is a 40,000-lumen (center) / 35,000 ANSI lumen 4K native resolution 3-chip DLP RB laser projector designed for large-venue professional installations including house of worship, higher education, rental and staging, museum, and corporate auditorium deployments. Using a red-blue (RB) laser light source with a newly developed sealed optical engine, the PH3501QL produces bright, stable images with minimal color drift throughout its operational life. Built-in edge blending, stacking, and geometric correction support single and multi-projector projection mapping setups, and the OPS slot with dual HDMI, dual DisplayPort, HDBaseT, and Quad 3G-SDI inputs accommodate the full range of commercial AV signal chains.

Product Description

The NP-PH3501QL delivers 4K 4096x2160 native resolution with 30,000:1 dynamic contrast and accepts 4K 60P HDR10 and BT.2020 signals from all digital inputs via Sharp’s proprietary video processing chip. The powered lens system (available as optional accessories) provides +/-50% vertical lens shift for unprecedented installation flexibility across complex venue geometries. Super Dust Protection maintains artifact-free images and prevents brightness loss in demanding integration environments. ProAssist software provides network-based multi-projector control for image alignment and calibration across large-scale installations. The sealed filter-free optical engine reduces total cost of ownership over the projector’s operational life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the NP-PH3501QL include a lens?

No. This is the no-lens configuration. A range of powered optional lenses with lens shift, zoom, and focus are available separately. Contact Creation Networks for lens selection guidance based on throw distance and screen size.

What inputs does the PH3501QL support?

Dual HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 1.4/2.2, dual DisplayPort with HDCP 1.4, HDBaseT with HDCP 1.4/2.2, Quad 3G-SDI, and an OPS slot for optional media processing expansion.

Can multiple PH3501QL units be edge-blended together?

Yes. Built-in edge blending, stacking, and geometric correction support single and multi-projector projection mapping. ProAssist software manages multi-projector calibration and image alignment.

What venues is the PH3501QL best suited for?

Primary target venues include large-format auditoriums, houses of worship, rental and staging applications, museum immersive displays, and government or simulation environments requiring 4K native resolution at very high brightness.

What is the power infrastructure requirement?

At 35,000+ ANSI lumens, the PH3501QL requires dedicated high-capacity electrical circuits. Contact Creation Networks for site assessment and installation guidance before specifying this product.

What warranty is included?

This product carries Sharp’s standard commercial warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms for this model.
