E-4 Major Features Book-sized, lightweight (at about 0.9 kg/2.0 lbs) and small high-intensity mobile projector DMDTM and the synergistic effects of our own optical design serve to improve the optical utilization efficiency. The three light sources (RGB) required in color expression are reproduced with one DMDTM. These factors have enabled a design that offers both high intensity and small size/lightweight features. Sharp, clear picture The absence of RGB color infidelity and the inconspicuous gaps between the individual dots permit the display of small characters and diagrams with distinct clarity. An up-close look reveals the difference even more. Beautiful reproduction of high-quality images from DVD Faithful reproduction of color tones gives rise to the display of natural images. High-quality images such as those from DVD and other sources bring out the display capabilities that are an essential strength of the digital projector. Heightened effectiveness with picture in picture The video image is projected as a sub-picture within the personal computer picture. This expands the usefulness of the projector even more. Digital technology corrects the horizontal and vertical keystone distortion of the projected picture New technology is used to correct the horizontal keystone distortion in addition to the regular keystone correction. This permits even simpler setup adjustments. Connection permitted for personal computers equipped with DVI connectors Inclusion of a DVI connector allows the input of analog RGB signals as well as digital RGB signals. (The supplied conversion cable supports personal computers having a regular analog RGB connector. See the Table of Supported Frequencies on Page 69 for information about display resolution.)
