Poulsbo’s Boxlight Corp. recently introduced a pair of bright, ultra-lightweight digital-ready projectors, the CD-455m SVGA and its sister unit, the CD-555m XGA. According to the company, the units are powerful but portable, offering two computer inputs and forward-looking features that make them suitable for fixed conference room presentations, events with multiple presenters and road warrior meetings.

Despite their streamlined design and laptop-sized footprint, both 6.7 lb. units offer 1300 ANSI lumens of brightness for use in the most challenging lighting environments, including fully lit rooms and daylight conditions. Road warriors will appreciate the fact that they can hand-carry these projectors through airports and stow them in a plane’s overhead bin on the way to their next venue.

The CD-455m delivers clear, crisp images straight from the computer with true 800 x 600 SVGA resolution (compressed 1024 x 768 XGA) that is ideal for projecting charts and graphs and other highly detailed images. Outstanding image clarity radiates from the CD-555m via true 1024 x 768 XGA resolution (no compression) that matches the optimum resolution of today’s high performance XGA computers.

The new projectors also boast advanced technological features to ensure they are compatible with the next generation of digital laptop computers. The DVI connection can be used to connect to both an existing analog laptop and to the digital upgrades that will be available by year-end. The DVI cables include a hot-pluggable USB mouse connection to allow presenters to command the presentation from anywhere in the room, as well as the versatility of a CablePro connection for ease of set-up and a PS/2 mouse connection.

Other standard features include digital keystone adjustment to help the mobile presenter “square up” the image on the screen and single SVHS and RCA video inputs to create a multimedia extravaganza. The standby function enables the speaker to “blank” the screen via the remote when there’s a need to change the presentation or a computer application without distracting the audience. The manual zoom/focus assures a quick and easy set-up and a remote and soft carry bag complete the package of convenient features.
