Shine with IntelliBright™
With Texas Instruments DLP®3* IntelliBright™ technology to intelligently manage brightness and power consumption, this Sony portable projector punches above its weight. Even in a pocket-friendly size, it offers high brightness (ANSI 105 lumens**), thanks to the unique design for minimal heat build-up.
*DLP® and the DLP logo are registered trademarks of Texas Instruments. DLP IntelliBright™ is a trademark of Texas Instruments.
**ANSI lumen is standardised by the American National Standards Institute. First the projector is set up to display an image in a room at a temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The brightness and contrast of the projector are adjusted so that on a full white field it is possible to distinguish between a 5% screen area block of 95% peak white and two identically sized 100% and 90% peak white boxes at the center of the white field. The light output is then measured on a full white field at nine specific locations around the screen and averaged. This average is then multiplied by the screen area to give the brightness of the projector in “ANSI lumens.”
Simple setup, quick start
Just connect the HDMI cable from your PC and press the projector’s power button. The MP-CD1 boots up in only 5 seconds, so you can go straight into your business presentation without missing a beat.
