Leica Unveils World's Smallest and Lightest Projector

The new Pradovit D-1200 digital projector by Leica is the worlds smallest and lightest in its class. The new mini projector has a 1920x1200 native resolution, 1,400 lumens with ability to go up to 2,000 lumens, a 2500:1 contrast ratio and a ARIO-ELMARIT-P f/2.8-3.1/33-42 mm high-speed lens. It's suitable for a broad variety of uses: as well as high-quality projection of digital photos in large format with truly realistic image quality, it can also project films in full HD quality. Moreover, it has very clear menu navigation and an easy to use remote control for the most important functions.

The optics can be used for a projection range of 1 to 15 metres with a screen width of 0.5 to 9 metres. The image diagonals range from 0.6 to 11 metres. This allows pin sharp projections in a wide range of rooms. The projector is also equipped with a 220W FusionPlus VIDI UHP bulb from Philips with a life expectancy of approx. 3000 hours for standard applications and approx. 4000 hours for save-performance applications. The bulb and cooling unit operates pleasantly quietly - measuring only 28 dB - allowing a relaxed projection experience.

If connections are what you want, the D-1200 certainly has plenty to spare. It boasts a component input and HDMI1.3 and DVI digital interfaces. These can be used to connect not only PC or notebook, but also a DVD player, blu-ray player, HD-DVD player, HD camcorder or HDTV receiver. Alongside the standard composite and S-video interfaces, LAN and VGA cords can also be connected.
