On BCC…

Sorry for being late with this blog, especially for those interested and keeping track… We announced BCC, or Background Color Compensator, last week.  This technology enables OEMs of pico projectors to design in an automatic compensation for other-than-white backgrounds. So the obvious question is: “Is this important?”  We believe so, and here’s why: Standard projectors […]

How VEE Affects the Effective Lumens on Pico Projectors

Many people have asked us how exactly VEE works on Pico Projectors.  A little more information is contained in the video below, also available on our YouTube channel.

Pico’s: Why Our Dual Output ArcticLink III VX6 Matters

Whether in our earnings calls, or here on HotSpots, we’ve talked a lot about pico projectors in the last few months. Well…as much as we’ve only recently externally talked about them, they’ve been a hot topic internally here for quite some time.  So much so, in fact, that we dedicated 2 of the 13 devices […]

So, Is the ArcticLink III VX Really a CSSP?

One of the questions I’ve been asked consistently since our first ArcticLink III VX press meeting is “is this really a CSSP?  Isn’t it more of an ASSP?” In summary: Yes, this is a CSSP.  Here’s why: Obviously there is no fabric on this chip.  This certainly makes the silicon appear to be closer to […]
