3.2. Powerful DLP Technology

The micro projector utilizes DLP (Digital Light Processing) reflective projection technology, which provides superior image quality compared to traditional LCD projectors. DLP technology ensures uniform images with high contrast and accurate color reproduction due to its integrated color correction circuit. The robust box structure minimizes external light interference, resulting in clear and deep visuals for a realistic viewing experience.

3.3. Wireless Screen Sharing

The projector features built-in 2.4G dual WiFi, enabling seamless wireless mirroring from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android devices via Airplay and Miracast. This eliminates the need for adapters or dongles, allowing you to easily share photos, videos, and presentations on the big screen.

3.4. Auto Keystone Correction

Equipped with an automatic keystone correction function, the projector detects keystone distortion using an internal gravity sensor and corrects it automatically. This allows for clear image projection even when the projector is placed at a tilted horizontal position. Additionally, manual ±50° four-point keystone correction is available for fine-tuning as needed.
