![]() Fortunately, it has enough connection choices to leave most users happy. One feature that the P300 Neo lacks, which we are seeing on a growing number of mini projectors-including the AAXA P2-A Smart Pico Projector, the Philips Pocket Projector PPX4350 Wireless, and the XSories X-Project WiFi-is wireless connectivity. ![]() Although the projector comes with a credit-card-sized remote, there are also basic controls on the projector's top for navigating menus. (The recent AAXA HD Pico Projector is the first AAXA projector we have encountered that labels the slot "SD card.") On the left side is the focus wheel. On the right side (as viewed from the back) are a mini-VGA port (which requires an adapter cable that is not included), the on-off switch, and a slot for a microSD card, labeled with the outdated Sandisk "TF-card" nomenclature. In back, it has an HDMI port, an AV port for use with the included composite audio/video connector cable, a port for a USB thumb drive, and an audio-out jack. The P300 Neo has a familiar range of input ports, similar to what we saw on the original P300. Its built-in, rechargeable battery provides up to 2.5 hours of operation on a charge when in Eco mode, according to AAXA. The P300 Neo includes a sturdy mini-tripod that screws into the bottom. It looks much the same as the original P300, though it's slightly smaller, some of the ports have been relocated, and the lens has been switched from the left to the right side (as seen from the front). It weighs just 12.8 ounces, so it is very portable. Measuring 1.2 by 5.5 by 3.5 inches (HWD), the P300 Neo is compact enough to fit into my outstretched palm, and should easily fit in a coat pocket. The LED light source's claimed lifetime is 30,000 hours, so the lamp should last as long as the projector. Its rated brightness is 420 lumens, a step up from the original P300, which was rated at 300. Tiny Widescreen DLP ProjectorĪ DLP projector with an LED-based light source, the P300 Neo has 720p (1,280-by-720) basic HD native resolution, slightly less than the original P300's 1,280-by-800, but its aspect ratio is more suitable for movies and other widescreen content. Its portability and long battery life make the Neo a solid projector to toss in your bag for on-the-road use. It has reasonably clear image quality and a wide range of connectivity choices, including displaying content stored on a microSD card or USB thumb drive, though it lacks wireless connectivity. The P300 Neo is slightly brighter than the original P300, and although the Neo's resolution is marginally lower, its ratio is more suitable to displaying movies and other widescreen content. The application will then establish a channel to securely exchange communication between the two devices.The AAXA P300 Neo ($294) is an upgrade to the AAXA P300, the first battery-powered pico projector we tested. The Android or iOS mobile application will detect the Chromecast dongle when connected to the same local network. Both applications can be downloaded from their mobile app stores, respectively. To communicate with outside devices it uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.Īndroid and Apple iOS Application SupportĪndroid and Apple mobile operation system is supported. ![]() The device contains 512 MB of DDR3L Ram as well as 2 GB of flash storage built into it. ![]() The device is preloaded with the applications used to stream content. This allows the decoding of the codecs used in video compression formats. Browser plug-ins, like Silverlight and Quicktime, allow certain video files to be played from a web browser but are not supported by the Chromecast.Ĭhromecast contains the Marvell DE3005-A1 (AMD 1500) system on chip. However, not all content can be mirrored with tab casting. Also, users have the option to control and mirror content using Google Chrome, Google’s own web browser, from a desktop or laptop computer known as “tab casting”. This allows the user to control the Chromecast while allowing the controlling device to be used without disrupting its streaming capabilities.įor example, after selecting the content through a connected device like a smartphone, the user will still be able to answer phone calls or use other applications simultaneously. Chromecast is primarily controlled using an application downloaded to a tablet or smart device. This device will works almost independently on your projector streaming video and sound content from applications like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, HBOGo, as well as directly from the a computer’s browser with limited mirroring capability. Chromecast is digital media player device that was created by Google. ![]()
