Video & Projection

Video Projection Equipment for Home Screens and Outdoor Viewing

This department covers video projection equipment and the devices that feed or display a picture. It includes projectors, disc players, broadcast and recording devices, video transmitters and digital photo frames.

Projectors

The CineBeam is a 4K projector. The CineArc, CineSpan and LumaCanvas Pro are outdoor projectors for daylight use, the LumaCast is an outdoor light projector, and the FableBeam is a story projector. Resolution, input ports, brightness specifications, size and whether the unit is meant for a room or a backyard are the main points to compare.

Broadcast and playback devices

The LumiDisc Pro is a Blu-ray player, and the ByteHarbor is a DVD player for laptop use. The SignalHawk TV antenna receives broadcast signals, and the CaptureVantage is a TV recorder. Compare disc formats, output connections and how the device connects to a screen.

Wireless video transmission

The ClearCast Pro is a wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver, and the SkyLumen is a video transmitter. These suit setups where a cable run between source and screen is awkward. Check port types, supported resolution and placement of both units.

Digital photo frames

The FrameVault digital photo frame, the MemoraVue digital picture frame and the MemoraNest smart photo frame display photos on a built-in screen. Screen size, orientation, storage and how photos are loaded are the main differences. Typical settings include living rooms, home theaters, offices, patios and shelves.
