Sharp NP-PA1705UL – 17,000-Lumen WUXGA Laser 3LCD Projector (No Lens)
Product Overview
The Sharp NP-PA1705UL is a high-output WUXGA laser 3LCD installation projector delivering 16,000 lumens typical (17,000 center lumens) for large venues, higher education, and corporate deployment. Designed for demanding commercial AV environments, this professional installation projector supports 4K-ready signal processing, motorized lens options, and full control system integration via Crestron, AMX, Extron, and PJ Link. The sealed laser light source provides 20,000 hours of virtually maintenance-free operation, significantly reducing total cost of ownership compared to lamp-based alternatives. For AV integrators specifying high-ambient-light auditoriums, conference centers, or multi-purpose rooms, the NP-PA1705UL delivers the brightness, flexibility, and control interface depth required for complex installations.
Product Description
The Sharp NP-PA1705UL (No Lens) uses a 1.0" 3LCD panel with MLA and is available in black or white cabinet. Its dual HDMI 2.0 inputs with HDCP 2.2, HDBaseT input, and 3G-SDI input make it compatible with virtually any commercial AV signal chain. The HDBaseT Repeater function enables cascading for edge-blending and stacking, and the TileMatrix feature supports seamless 4K×2K displays using multiple units. ProAssist software provides network-based multi-projector calibration. The unit supports roll-free installation in any orientation with motorized lens shift, zoom, and focus for precise positioning in auditoriums, training rooms, and all-hands spaces.
