. .
Portable Computers when used in conjunction with a Compaq Microportable Projector.
. .
. .
. .
The Compaq series of Microportable Projectors are a 3-4.5 lb. multi-sync projectors
. .
capable of displaying images at resolutions of 640*480 to 1280*1024. The native display
. .
. .
mode is 1024*768 (XGA) for the high end model and 800*600 (SVGA) for the value line,
. .
. .
and it automatically scales up or down other resolutions using state-of-the-art algorithms
. .
built into the hardware.
. .
. .
The graphics acceleration technology and architecture of the Armada Family of Portable
. .
. .
Computers delivers brilliant, professional quality, photo realistic images while
. .
. .
maintaining outstanding performance. Its strength in 2D image display, 3D rendering,
. .
DVD playback and higher bus and memory speeds and bandwidth make this the best
. .
. .
overall solution for the graphics and video needs of Compaq's customers.
. .
. .
By providing separate timings (on the high end Armada M700/E700/7400/7800 systems)
. .
. .
for an external (CRT or projector unit) and an internal (LCD) display device, the dual
. .
. .
display technology enables users to display the same image simultaneously on separate
. .
displays with different refresh rates and /or resolutions. Additionally, with the support of
. .
. .
the Windows98 Operating System, the dual display technology also enables users to
. .
display different images simultaneously on separate displays at different refresh rates, if
. .
. .
needed.
. .
. .
. .
. .
. .
In conjunction, the Microportable Projectors & the Armada Portable Computers provide
. .
the stunning graphics presentation solutions that todays' professionals desire to make a
. .
. .
lasting impression on their clients.
