What is a Multimedia Projector?

As their name suggests, multimedia projectors allow you to connect to various external devices like DVD players, computers, or laptops and support Bluetooth and WiFi Bluetooth for wireless streaming and screen mirroring to display various content.

Types of Multimedia Projectors

Multimedia projectors are flexible, and their multi-purpose use makes them perfect for several settings, whether outdoors, in the home, in offices, auditoriums, etc. To this end, here are the different types of multimedia projectors:

• Ultralight Multimedia Projectors (Portability): This class of multimedia projectors weighs far less than their counterparts without sacrificing quality. They have a compact build and are designed to fit easily in backpacks for traveling. If you need to arrange business presentations, go on camping movie nights, or prefer a lighter version of the average projector, ultralights are the go-to option. 
• Conference Room Projectors: This class is slightly heavier than ultralight projectors. They have powerful imaging and sound features, which make them perfect for board meetings or business conferences. 
• Home Projectors: Bigger than ultralight and conference room projectors, home projectors have a classy and compact look and are easy to move around within the home. They also pack great brightness, resolution, and multimedia features that make them perfect for all kinds of content, like 3D movies, video gaming, TV shows, music, etc. 
• Fixed Multimedia Projectors (Laser Projectors, Auditoriums): This class of multimedia projectors is perfect for settings that do not require them to move around, like church auditoriums, cinemas, etc., and are permanently mounted to a wall or ceiling. Some fixed installation laser projectors are expensive and powerful, with features like high brightness, resolution, sound, and sometimes, ultra short throw technology.

Why You Need to Consider Buying a Multimedia Projector

Multimedia projectors are different from their traditional counterparts—they are more flexible and powerful. Depending on your unique needs, here are the benefits of buying a multimedia projector:

• Compatibility
  Multimedia projectors are compatible with several external devices, including smartphones, gaming consoles, TV sticks, laptops, flash drives, hard drives, etc. Some multimedia projectors have WiFi compatibility for you to download your preferred content into the projector and stream it without connecting to an external device.
• Visibility
  Multimedia projectors are powered by powerful laser, LED, or lamp light sources, capable of producing bright and visible displays. Projectors with 600–1800 ISO Lumens can produce clear displays, with higher ISO Lumens (15000+) capable of delivering beaming-bright displays, even during the day with wide-open curtains. Ultralight (portable) projectors may be less bright than their conference room and laser counterparts, as they usually come with lesser ISO Lumens. 
• Size
  Multimedia projectors depart from the one-size-fits-all regime of traditional projectors, and you can find whatever size fits your needs. Ultralight projectors are small, compact, and lightweight (usually a few pounds) – great for traveling. Fixed installation projectors are also available.
• Convenience
  New-age multimedia projectors are designed to be used hassle-free, with the users' convenience considered. Some have automated technology like auto focus and intelligent screen alignment that make setup easier, emit less noise, and are easy to move around, as they are smaller than earlier generations of projectors.
