Redefining the Way People Use Projectors
Dealing with the technology behind presentations was once a burdensome chore. But in the past few years, advances in image and information processing technologies have led to the manufacture of powerful, truly portable projection systems. Now they're easy to transport and operate, and can harness electronically stored information -- even motion-picture video -- for impressive, more effective presentations.

Mitsubishi Electric has helped redefine the way people use projectors. No longer the exclusive machinery of the conference room, projectors are now being used in the home for visual entertainment such as movies and games. Innovations like circuitry miniaturization have enabled projectors to shrink in size while maintaining the power and performance of their predecessors. Current technological breakthroughs in the industry are paving the way for even smaller and lighter models with unprecedented mobility that greatly expands presentation and entertainment options.

Two Major Categories of Projector
Modern projectors are designed to receive an electronic signal (either analog or digital) from a data source (computer, VCR, DVD, etc.), then transform it into an image that can be projected onto a screen. Before an image can be projected, however, it needs to be converted into a digital signal, by passing it through an analog-to-digital signal converter. Presently there are two technologies behind the projection of images: Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Digital Light Processing™ (DLP™).
