The Boxlight®CD-450m and CD-550m lightweight multimedia

projectors are specifically designed for the mobile presenter. They

generate crisp, clear images using Digital Light Processing™

(DLP) technology. The projectors are easy to connect, easy to use,

and easy to maintain. The soft carry case makes it easy to trans-

port the 7.4 pound projectors. The 450m has SVGA 800x600

graphics, the 550m has XGA 1024x768 graphics. The user inter-

faces of the two products are identical; information in this User’s

Guide applies to both products.
