Sharp NP-PX1004UL-W-18 – 10,000-Lumen Laser Projector with NP18ZL Lens (White)

Product Overview

The Sharp NEC NP-PX1004UL-W-18 is a 10,000-lumen WUXGA laser installation projector bundled with the NP18ZL standard zoom lens — the lens that covers the projection requirements of roughly 90% of installations. Built for large venue projection in auditoriums, houses of worship, museums, and higher education lecture halls, this 1-chip DLP laser projector accepts up to 4K input signals and runs up to 20,000 hours filter-free. Built-in edge blending, geometric correction, and HDBaseT make it a dependable platform for multi-projector commercial AV integration and long-term digital signage deployments.

Product Description

This white-cabinet bundle pairs the PX1004UL chassis with the motorized NP18ZL zoom lens (1.73–2.27:1 throw ratio), giving integrators a ready-to-install high-brightness laser projector. The blue laser diode light source with phosphor wheel technology delivers 10,000 lumens (ISO21118-2012) at native WUXGA 1920 x 1200 resolution with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. The latest scaler chip provides Cinema Quality Picture processing and accepts input signals up to 4K 4096 x 2160, preserving detail from high-resolution sources on screens up to 500 inches diagonal.

Installation flexibility defines this platform. The laser engine supports 360-degree free-tilt and portrait orientation for projection mapping, simulation, and creative digital signage installations. Motorized lens shift, zoom, and focus permit remote alignment after ceiling mounting, and the filter-free sealed design eliminates routine maintenance — an install-and-forget approach that suits always-on museum and signage applications. Built-in edge blending, stacking correction, and geometric adjustment allow multi-projector arrays without external processors, and the built-in multiscreen splitter with HDMI loop-through simplifies tiled configurations.

Connectivity includes HDMI and DisplayPort with HDCP, HDBaseT for single-cable video and control over category cable, 5BNC analog, plus an OPS option slot for slot-in PCs, digital signage players, or an HDBaseT receiver. RS-232, LAN with PJLink, Crestron RoomView, AMX Beacon, and NaViSet Administrator 2 cover enterprise control system integration. At 28 kg without lens, the chassis handles rental and staging duty as readily as permanent installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lens is included with the NP-PX1004UL-W-18?

The bundle includes the NP18ZL motorized standard zoom lens (1.73–2.27:1 throw ratio), which satisfies the projection geometry of roughly 90% of fixed installations.

What other lenses fit the PX1004UL?

Eight bayonet lenses are available, from the NP39ML 0.38:1 ultra-short throw to the NP21ZL 5.3–8.3:1 long throw, covering nearly any room depth and screen size.

Does it accept 4K sources?

Yes. The PX1004UL accepts input signals up to 4096 x 2160 over HDMI and DisplayPort and scales them to its native WUXGA panel with Cinema Quality Picture processing.

Can I blend multiple PX1004UL projectors?

Yes. Edge blending, stacking correction, and geometric correction are built in, so multi-projector widescreen or stacked-brightness arrays require no external processor.

What is the OPS slot used for?

The OPS option slot accepts slot-in modules such as digital signage players, compact PCs, or an HDBaseT receiver, letting the projector run content without an external source device.

How does it integrate with control systems?

RS-232, LAN with PJLink, Crestron RoomView, and AMX Beacon support direct integration with common room control platforms, while NaViSet Administrator 2 handles networked fleet management.

What power does it require?

The projector operates on 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz, drawing up to 1,165 W in Normal mode — standard 120 V circuits are sufficient in North American installations.

Does Creation Networks help with deployment?

Yes. As an authorized Sharp NEC reseller, Creation Networks assists with lens selection, mounting, signal distribution, and complete commercial AV system design before and after purchase.
