All Cool Mind-blowing Gadgets You Love in One Place

A Look at Texas Instruments' Projector Tech

2013-01-17
okay guys you might recall if you subscribe to our YouTube channel for a while then we have Frank Boise at each foot Berlin talking about the DLP technologies and how projectors are eventually going to be making it and every single mobile device we know and love in the near future and now we have some exciting new technologies now since we're live on the ground here at CES 2013 what do you have for us ranked we have several things that are really cool here today let me take you through them the first one is this kodak product it's basically a cell phone accessory product and it's talking to this Android phone right here and so this is wirelessly streaming through Wi-Fi to this device a great companion for taking taking with you on your cell phone so if you want to do business presentations if you want play games you want to have sharing experiences great little product we expect it'll be on sale for $199 moving over here this is a product from smart devices it's it's basically about a 7 inch tablet but it has Pico projection inside of it very cool the first one first one first tablet in the world and weird what we're showing here is just simply Angry Birds how cool is that rather than watching it on a 7-inch screen being able to protected to something 3040 inches in size so whether again when you want to play games whether you want to share experiences with your consumer related experiences about design do business presentations this is a great application of Pico technology the first tablet and then right here it's another we've shown you of course the great galaxy being which is a personal phone that I carry this is a new phone from a company called Q know if you can see that the image is very very bright and this is basically Android running the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich and it's also it's also giving you probably about 30 lumens and brightness on the output so this is shipping in Japan shortly and the season shipping in China shortly and so we're going to continue to see Pico technology rollout in all of these small types of devices all these mobile devices in the world have we put that back on here like I don't have the specifics on the size of the battery we just we just got the sequence seem so yeah a lot of these a lot of these are new to us you mentioned that you have a more advanced yes so we put this down oh crap that again here but there's yeah there's a new announcement and it's basically a new pixel called TRP or tilt and roll pixel off tilt and roll Basin self-enroll pixel so what it does is it it creates more efficiency it packs about about twice as many pixels in the face so in the future we're gonna see brighter pico projectors we're going to see them with higher resolution and with lower power consumption X and so it just extends the value of getting to a big picture from one of these very small devices for all constrained by the screen size this allows us to get our digital content unleash the power of getting that visual content anywhere anytime and so we're really excited about that we're working with companies right now to get those products into production and so expect to see them over time in the marketplace so if you see we're looking at 50% more pixels ideally 50% more brightness in terms of lumens more battery efficiency but what's the resolution of the projector on this one right now is this one ago this one is is NH thing so in HD 640 by 360 that's right this one for example is 854 by 480 that's a fifty four by four I guess so there's excuse me I'm sorry this one is six 640 by 480 okay right and then there but there the kodak product is 854x480 and this is a 54 bucket rolling this this being control over what interface is this bluetooth or Wi-Fi it's Wi-Fi so it communicates through Wi-Fi from the smartphone to the projector yes and the delta battery as well yes correct resolution this looks to be a quite a short picture X 854 by 480 sets DVD DVD quality so realistically there's Tilton role projection technology they're referring to when can we expect to see it at least a demonstration or a sample of it what do you think's realistic well we're we're actually showing private demos of it here at the show but but we'll probably see it come out and we're working with manufacturers now and then we'll see them rollout products over time so are a lot of the analysts like Gardner and others are they correct is it realistic that we're going to see micro projectors in our tablets and our smartphones you know you can look at a lot of different analysts around and there's all these different forecasts of the millions of units you know I believe that there's I believe the market will be in 2013 believe it'll be about five million units okay four to five million units in that in that range there and we expect it to continue to grow because the value proposition is so compelling it is if you've used one of these phones and I carry what beats us my personal phone yeah it is really comes in handy we're gonna do it when you're trying to share experiences whether it's just a photo a video or whether it's a presentation there's just so many different applications that you start to become aware of when you finally use the product really so yeah getting to much bigger pictures getting getting away from the constraints of the screen that's gonna that's going to happen and so we're really excited to be a part of it and we're excited to follow you you know and I'm really really happy to hear that you guys have figured out a way to pack more pixels into a smaller profile save more power we're happy that we're happy to hear it - are we going to get a demonstration of this in our meeting or do we need to be able meeting scheduled for Thursday the likely both books to class I'm really excited about obviously you guys like you said can you imagine going to Grandma's house and you want to show pictures on a five inch or 4 inch screen versus being able to project a 40 inch or 50 inch image onto the wall what's preferable it's only a matter of time and it's going to be a game-changing thing you know our kids from now they're gonna have projectors and infrared and also the futuristic interfaces so teait DLP is a leader in the space and so I wanted to thank Frank first time thank you very much for shedding some light thank you so much appreciate finally back yeah thanks thanks all right take care under authority from CS Capcom thanks very much everybody
