Product Description

Aiptek's new PocketCinema V20 takes Pico Projectors to all new heights. Substantially increased brightness and significantly improved image quality compliment a drastically new design that includes a uniquely aesthetic touch-sensitive keypad. Aiptek's integrated media player is an industry first and allows the user to store their images, videos, music and presentations directly on the built-in 2GB memory to playback without the need for an attached external device. Files can also be stored on up to a 32GB SD card which can be inserted directly into the V20. However, if you like, you can still attach any device that utilizes a composite video output (RCA), a VGA output, or with the use of the accessory Apple cable, an iPod or iPhone. The PocketCinema V20 offers cleaner, crisper image quality and substantially upgraded light output with the brightest colors ever. When combined with the many other innovations pioneered by Aiptek, the V20 truly is an unparalleled value, and the best fully integrated, all-inclusive presentation device on the market today.

The Aiptek Pocket Cinema V10 (The Old Model) Projects an image with sound. You can turn up the brightness to fill a fairly large screen in the dark. (They never told us that it can't operate very long without overheating)!

The Pocket Cinema V20 got it right this time. The picture is noticeably brighter with better color. Using a standard camera tripod I can throw a very acceptable picture onto a six foot screen. There is an internal menu for adjusting brightness, contrast, color saturation, etc. The best part is that after showing a full-length movie the projector remains cool enough not to cause any problems.

The controls have been redesigned with a flat illuminated touch panel to control the electronics (it takes some getting used to, but the sensitivity is adjustable), a real switch to power the unit on and off, and a very good remote control. The battery can now be left in the unit without overcharging when using the AC adaptor.

Using the included adaptor cables you can connect any standard video source (RCA connectors), or use the internal memory (2GB) or add an SDHC memory card. However, unlike the V10+, the projector <<can't>> record the show into memory.Aiptek PocketCinema V20 Portable Pico Projector with SD Slot and Built-In Media Player-Black

Additionally the projector connects to the standard VGA monitor output on your laptop enabling business use (not in brightly-lit room).

Keeping in mind that this is an LED projector which isn't meant to fill a large screen in a brightly-lit room the Aiptek Pocket Cinema V20 is definitely worth the money.

The camera is as stated. The only problem is you have to convert your presentations in order to project. A plug n' play would be easier.

This Projector is very small and it has very nice resolution, you can project videos, powerpoint presentations, etc. It has a battery so it doesn't need to be connected all time and it has a convenient slot for SD cards. It really surprised me because it works great and the cost is much better than the regular projectors.
