Sony has added a mobile pico projector that includes Bluetooth connectivity to its line.
The MP-CL1A, which builds off Sony’sMP-CL1 pico projector, uses Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) which provides HD resolution (1920 x 720p), focus free projection and contributes to its portability and light weight of 7.4 ounces, according to a Sony press release.
The short-throw projector, which is expected to be available in October at $399.99, offers 80,000:1 contrast and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It can display a screen size of up to 120 inches at a distance of approximately 12 feet and a 40 inch screen from nearly 4 feet away, Sony writes, adding that it’s best suited to dark environments, can be used indoors and outdoors for entertainment applications including camping, movie nights and gaming, in-home viewing and dorm use and business presentations.
More from Sony’s press release:
“The MP-CL1A not only builds on the success of Sony’s first pico projector, but the company’s vast expertise in projection technology,” said Viviano Cantu, Vice President, Product Marketing, Sony Americas Media and Energy Group.
“With connectivity options that now range from Wi-Fi, standard HDMI and MHL to Bluetooth and audio output for wireless and wired headphones and speakers, we’re listening to our users to constantly improve our products and add valuable features. That is also why we are offering additional accessories and options that personalize the projector including the choice of a gray or gold model.”
Another highlight of the MP-CL1A is keystone correction which enables vertical and horizontal adjustments to maintain screen uniformity. In addition, the projector boasts intuitive auto focus and focus-free projection, allowing for seamless viewing on uneven surfaces.
