INTRODUCTION

The Boxlight MP-350m™ lightweight multimedia projector com- bines powerful and sophisticated features with easy-to-use, intui- tive controls. Built-in multimedia features include audio, a palette of 16.7 million colors and active matrix liquid crystal dis- play (LCD) technology. It delivers crisp, clear XGA 1024x768 images. The projector is ideal for high-performance business, training and imaging applications that demand exceptional color quality.

Image Resolution

The XGA resolution of the projected image is 1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024 are compressed to 1024x768. The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector.

Compatibility

The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and video devices, including:

IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1280x1024 resolution at 75 Hz.

Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1280x1024 resolution.

Unpacking the Projector

The projector comes with the items shown in Figure 1. Check to make sure all are included. Contact Boxlight immediately if any-

NOTE: The projector automati- cally expands 640x480 and 800x600 images to 1024x768. You can display these images at their original resolutions by turn- ing off the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto Resize” on page 29 for more information.
