In this video Q&A, Dan Ferrisi, group editor, commercial and security, Emerald, discusses the ongoing brand transition for the Sharp and NEC joint venture with Ryan Pitterle, senior product manager for projectors, and Ben Hardy, senior product manager for large-format displays. Both work for Sharp Imaging & Information Company of America. Together, they emphasize the latest Sharp advancements in projection and large-format displays.
Sharp Leads the Way in Projectors, Large-Format Displays
Pitterle highlights the integration of NEC’s projector expertise with Sharp’s quality processes, yielding industry-leading projector quality today. The Sharp XP-P Series projectors, the first since the joint venture, offer 4K UHD resolution. Moreover, at 6,000 and 7,200 lumens of brightness, the projectors are suitable for a range of spaces. These include commercial applications in conference rooms, museums, simulators and more.
Meanwhile, the Sharp MultiSync PN-ME2 product lineup of large format displays represents the first jointly developed product emerging from the joint venture. The PN-ME2 lineup contains the best-in-class engineering backbone that was known throughout years of experience from both sides, and it utilizes Sharp outreach and resources to allow for a more feature-rich functionality that customers have inquired about. In addition, the lineup features UHD resolution, integrated USB-C hub and Android 13 OS for digital signage.
Both Pitterle and Hardy emphasize a focus on innovation, quality and customer service in the coming months and years. And Hardy closes with an exciting teaser about Sharp’s bold vision for the future. “There’s a lot of exciting things left to come,” he promises. “Stay tuned! Because it’s going to be a pretty wild end of ’24 and going into 2025 from a product perspective for us.”
