Introduction
The KODAK DP900 /DP1100 Digital Projectors are lightweight
multimedia projectors specifically designed for the mobile
presenter. They generate crisp, clear images using Digital Light
Processing™ (DLP) technology. The projectors are easy to
connect, easy to use, and easy to maintain. The soft carry case
makes it easy to transport the 7.4 pound projectors. The DP900
has SVGA 800x600 graphics, the DP1100 has XGA 1024x768
graphics. The user interfaces of the two products are identical;
information in this User’s Guide applies to both products.
Included with the DP900 / 1100 projectors is Kodak’s exclusive
Image Manager feature. With this feature you can select the
image display setting best suited for your specific presentation
material and projection environment.
Image Resolution
DP900
The SVGA resolution of the DP900’s projected image is
800x600. Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are
compressed to 800x600. The DP900 cannot compress screen
resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer’s screen resolution
is higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you
connect the projector.
Note: The DP900 automatically expands 640x480 images to
800x600. You can display these images at 640x480 by
turning off the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto Resize” on
page 35.
