The Digital Micromirror Device that forms the heart of DLP technology is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, giving DLP the advantage of being extremely portable for a wide range of uses.Features an intuitive keypad on the top of the project for easy navigation.View larger.Connection panel is located at the rear of the unit.
