Sharp NP-PX1004UL-BK – 10,000-Lumen WUXGA Laser Installation Projector (Black, No Lens)

Product Overview

The Sharp NEC NP-PX1004UL-BK is a 10,000-lumen laser installation projector engineered for large venue projection where image stability, long runtime, and flexible mounting are mandatory. Built on a WUXGA (1920 x 1200) DLP engine with a laser phosphor light source rated for 20,000-plus hours, this professional installation projector handles auditoriums, houses of worship, museums, and staging environments without lamp replacement cycles. The body-only (no lens) configuration lets integrators select from eight optional bayonet lenses to match nearly any throw distance, and the black chassis blends into dark ceilings and truss rigging.

Product Description

The PX1004UL pairs a 0.67-inch DMD DLP imaging system with a sealed laser phosphor light engine that delivers 10,000 lumens of stable brightness and a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Because brightness is electronically controlled, the projector maintains consistent image output over long duty cycles, making it a dependable choice for permanent large venue projector installation in theme parks, simulation environments, retail flagship spaces, and digital signage applications that run continuously.

Multi-projector deployments are a core strength. Built-in edge blending merges several projectors into one wide, high-resolution canvas, while stacking correction allows up to four units to be stacked for as much as 40,000 lumens of combined output — with the added redundancy that a single projector failure never produces a black screen. Geometric correction maps the image onto curved screens, cylinders, spheres, and corner angles, and 3D Reform squares the picture when the projector cannot sit perpendicular to the screen. Tilt-free 360-degree rotation and portrait mode support installations that conventional lamp projectors cannot tolerate.

For AV system integration, the projector includes built-in HDBaseT, carrying uncompressed Full HD video, audio, Ethernet, and control over a single category cable run of up to 328 feet — reducing infrastructure cost in conference center and auditorium projector installations. HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, and 5BNC inputs cover legacy and current sources, and an HDMI output supports daisy-chaining. Crestron RoomView, AMX Beacon, and PJLink compatibility plus a built-in HTTP control page allow monitoring and management from any commercial AV control system, with email alerts for remote diagnostics. Powered ±50% vertical and ±15% horizontal lens shift simplifies alignment after rigging.

Key Features

• 10,000-Lumen Laser Light Source — Laser phosphor engine delivers high, stable brightness for 20,000-plus hours with no lamp replacements.
• WUXGA DLP Imaging — Native 1920 x 1200 resolution with 10,000:1 dynamic contrast produces detailed images for large audiences.
• Interchangeable Lens Design — Ships without a lens so integrators can choose from eight optional lenses to match the exact throw distance.
• Edge Blending and Stacking — Blend multiple projectors into one canvas or stack up to four units for as much as 40,000 lumens with built-in redundancy.
• Geometric Correction — Projects accurately onto curved, cylindrical, spherical, and corner surfaces for experiential and simulation installs.
• Built-In HDBaseT — Uncompressed Full HD video, audio, Ethernet, and control travel over a single 328-foot category cable run.
• 360-Degree and Portrait Installation — Tilt-free design permits any mounting orientation, including portrait projection.
• Control System Ready — Crestron RoomView, AMX Beacon, PJLink, and a built-in HTTP page integrate with commercial AV control and monitoring.
• Powered Lens Shift — ±50% vertical and ±15% horizontal shift makes precise alignment fast after ceiling or truss mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the NP-PX1004UL-BK include a lens?

No. This is the body-only configuration. Sharp NEC offers eight optional lenses spanning short-throw to long-throw ratios, so the projector can be matched precisely to the throw distance of your venue. Contact Creation Networks for lens selection assistance.

How long does the laser light source last?

The laser phosphor engine is rated for 20,000-plus hours of operation at medium brightness. In a typical 40-hour-per-week installation, that equates to roughly a decade of use without consumable lamp replacement.

Can multiple PX1004UL projectors be combined?

Yes. Built-in edge blending merges several projectors into one continuous image, and stacking correction supports up to four stacked units for combined output of up to 40,000 lumens — useful for very large screens or high ambient light environments.

How does HDBaseT simplify installation?

The integrated HDBaseT port receives uncompressed Full HD video, audio, Ethernet, and control over a single category cable up to 328 feet, eliminating long HDMI runs and reducing conduit and labor costs in auditorium and conference center installations.

Does it work with Crestron and other control systems?

Yes. The projector supports Crestron RoomView, AMX Beacon, and PJLink, plus a built-in HTTP control page for LAN-based monitoring with email alerts for errors — standard requirements for managed commercial AV deployments.

Can it be mounted in portrait or angled orientations?

Yes. The laser light engine permits tilt-free 360-degree rotation, including portrait mode, so the projector can be installed in orientations that lamp-based projectors cannot support.

Is a white version available?

Yes. The same projector is offered in white as the NP-PX1004UL-WH, also available from Creation Networks, for installations where the chassis must match light-colored ceilings.
