Abstract:
1. A modular projection system, comprising: a projection device including a docking side substantially defined by a projection device edge-profile and having a first docking interface interior the projection-device edge-profile, the projection device further including a stand-alone video interface configured to receive video content; and a source module including a docking side substantially defined by a source module edge-profile and having a second docking interface interior the source-module edge-profile and complimentarily configured relative the first docking interface to provide video content to the projection device via the first docking interface, where the projection-device edge-profile substantially matches the source-module edge-profile, and where the stand-alone video interface is accessible when the first docking interface is docked with the second docking interface, and wherein the source module comprises a control for selectively turning the source module on and off, where the control also turns the projection device on and off when the source module is docked to the projection device.
