Projector Features  

A.  Image Resolution  

Fully compatible with true SVGA/ XGA, and supports SXGA using advanced intelligent compression 
technology. The advanced intelligent compression technology enables it to present clear compression 
SVGA/XGA images without line omission. 

B. Brightness 

Provides superior brightness using TI’s Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) and our own optical design, 
with a geometric effect that increases light usage efficiency. By increasing the light usage efficiency we 
can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for color reproduction on a single DMD. 

C. Portability 

This projector has a sophisticated shape, like that of an attaché case, with a retractable carrying handle 
that is extremely compact and lightweight. It helps you make powerful presentations wherever you go 
with its 5-pound weight and B5 size. 

D. Keystone  

The projection position is already set to the height of the line of vision; there is no keystone effect. 
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of vision, image distortion (if any) can be 
adjusted using the hotkey “KEYSTONE” correction function. 

E. Multilanguage 

The OSD (On Screen Display: information screens and menus) in 7 languages (English, French, 
German, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese) provides you with additional 
information to help you make corrections with OSD operation in your native languages. 

F.  Auto Detect System  

This projector can detect display signals from PCs with frequently used timing automatically or use 
hotkey “AUTO” to do the optimization simultaneously. It does not require complicated adjustments 
in order to project picture images from PCs. 

G.  Ceiling Mount and Rear Screen Projection 

The projector is equipped with a full mirror scan conversion function (vertical/horizontal mirror), 
which allows the image to be reversed for ceiling mounting as well as for rear projection applications. 

H. AV box 

An AV box is optional, and users can attach one or two

 

to the projector. Additionally, our AV box 

video standard is compatible with: 

NTSC 

U.S. and Canada standard 

PAL 

Western Europe standard
