Beagle Board - DLP Pico projector opportunity. - UPDATE 10-16-2008

[Malina, Jim]

Hi all,

 

Here’s an update of our pico projector program

 

We’ve received our first production samples and have them working. (attached pictures)

 

I’ve engaged with 4 of 7 developers with prototype hardware.  As more units are available I will complete the engagement.

 

We have some very inspiring and compelling demonstrations being worked…I look forward to seeing videos of their accomplishments

 

Thank you for your continued enthusiasm.

 

Regards

Jim

That's impressive! What's the timeframe for getting it for people to
buy? Will it go through digi-key like the beagleboard?

the native resolution is 640x480 (24bit). There is not much use in using it at a
different resolution.

oops... from the first mail I read 640x480 as the native resolution.
Is it supported drive it with this resolution instead of 640x480 too?
