Maxon Visimax Projector Is Freakin’ Tiny!

12:00PM Nick Broughall | The name Maxon Electronics probably doesn’t mean too much to most of you, but that doesn’t mean you haven’t seen their stuff. They’re an Australian company with a history in two-way radios (exciting) and digital modems – they provide Telstra and BigPond over 400,000 of their wireless NextG modems. But their most recent product – the Visimax portable projector – is the start for bigger and better things for the company. The projector itself is tiny – it happily fits into the palm of your hand (it measures in at 27 x 58 x 60mm) and weighs just 120 grams. Yet it can throw a picture up to 60 inches in size without blinking its little LED powered eye. It has a VGA resolution, 15 lumens worth of brightness, a contrast ratio of 200:1 and a manual focus dial. There’s a mono speaker on board, but you can output stereo sound via the headphone port or the composite video cable that comes in the box. More »
