Dell today announced the introduction of a portable projector that delivers crisp images and new features for fast, simple set-up, all in a lightweight form factor. EMEA shipments of the new projector began on 13 March 2003.
Priced at R22 499 excl Vat and shipment, the Dell 3200MP replaces Dell`s first microportable projector, the 3100MP. The new unit uses Digital Light Processing (DLP)* DDR technology to produce clearer images from the same 1.6kg form factor. The 3200MP projects native XGA resolution (1024 x 768), and will automatically adjust to accommodate the resolution of the source device. The maximum brightness of the new projector has been improved by 25% to 1300 ANSI lumens, and the contrast ratio has been increased to 1800:1.
"The 3200MP incorporates the latest projection technology and features several enhancements, based directly on customer feedback, that make it even easier to use than the previous model," said Ben McDonald, Product Manager of Dell South Africa.
These changes include modifying the cooling vent to redirect airflow away from meeting participants, reducing the number of cords to ease set-up and increasing range of the height adjustment. It can be mounted to a ceiling (with available kit), or easily adjusted to project from behind a screen.
Other standard features include integrated zoom lenses, digital keystone correction, built-in 2-watt speaker, and a full-function remote control with integrated laser pointer. The projector ships with cables (M1-DA to VGA, S-Video, component video, composite video, RCA audio, and mini pin to mini pin) and a fitted carrying case.
