London, 20 June 2013: Optoma has unveiled the ultimate in ultra-portable business projectors, which is small and light at just 380g for the professional on the go. The Optoma LED powered ML550 is capable of 500 ANSI lumens combined with HDMI/ MHL for connection to mobile devices.
The ML550 incorporates a media player, native office viewer and built-in speaker. Projection without a laptop is straightforward using the built-in memory, a microSD card slot or USB connection. The Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) technology provides connectivity to a laptop, PC, games console or Blu-ray™ player with HDMI to view business files, photos, videos and listen to music if required.
Head of Product Management Justin Halls commented. “The Optoma ML550 sets the standard for ultra portable projectors, with a perceived brightness of an LED projector can be up to twice the brightness of an equivalent lamp based projector. Combined with the extraordinary life of LED’s, the ML550 will be clear and bright for many years to come.”
Weighing just 380g and measuring 105 x 106 x 39mm (W x D x H) the ML550 is ideal for presentations from a mobile phone or tablet using the free App: “EZ View”. Available for both Android and iOS devices, “EZ View” provides the freedom to wirelessly share and present documents, photos, videos or use the device’s camera to effectively turn it into a document camera for a more collaborative experience.
Presentation material can be wirelessly displayed from a PC, Mac or mobile device using the optional mini Wi-Fi dongle that connects to the USB port of the ML550. Projecting photos, videos, Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF’s is straightforward with full file support so no need for conversion. With instant power On/Off LED technology the ML550 is primed for instant plug and play viewing on the move.
The Optoma ML550 projector is available in June 2013.
