Each projector is about the size of a hardback novel, according to Lightware, and measure about 2.3 inches deep. The 800-lumen projectors can fit into a bag with a laptop and room to spare. For users who don’t want to bulk up their luggage with a laptop, Lightware also makes available products that enable the Legend series to operate with a Handspring Visor PDA or AverEPack digital slide presenter.
Each projector offers features including digital zoom, keystone correction, freeze-frame and “HyperZoom,” which allows presenters to enlarge tiny images on the screen. The Legend projectors also incorporate a one-watt speaker, and include a wireless remote control.
