Would Mitsubishi PK-20 Pocket Projector be good for PCBs?

Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

Here's a link to an eBay auction for a Mitsubishi Pocket Projector PK-20 version -- it does have RCA Composite Video Input, S-Video Input & VGA input:

I realize that said Supergun would have to putput it's native arcade RGB signal and be converted into S-Video to utilize such portable LED-based projector setup. Or one could feed the arcade RGB signal through an XRGB-2 and pipe through using PC VGA output. The lowest resolution and highest resolution of this PK-20 variant production model is at: 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 (using the VGA input, of course).

My question is this: would this Mitsubishi PK-20 Pocket Projector device be a good way to display such arcade PCBs through the use of an XRGB-2 setup?

Check the refresh rate. I here 5ms or less is where you want to be. Otherwise, suffer blurring in your animation :(

I think I would have to try out such a demo model and see if that would be possible...

Thanks undamned about that 5ms or less guideline...I'll keep it in mind. ^_~

For pcb's just get a projector that supports RGB.
Why would you buy something that doesn't?
Get a European model that supports RGB.
The only thing you'd need is a step down converter. It should accept all ntsc signals.

You know, the projectors at my school have rgb input. So I guess US projectors will have it too. I think the hard part will be the refresh rate.
