Introduction
The KODAK DP900 /DP1100 Digital Projectors are lightweight 
multimedia projectors 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 transport the 7.4 pound projectors. The DP900 
has SVGA 800x600 graphics, the DP1100 has XGA 1024x768 
graphics. The user interfaces of the two products are identical; 
information in this User’s Guide applies to both products.
Included with the DP900 / 1100 projectors is Kodak’s exclusive 
Image Manager feature. With this feature you can select the 
image display setting best suited for your specific presentation 
material and projection environment.
Image Resolution
DP900
The SVGA resolution of the DP900’s projected image is 
800x600. Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are 
compressed to 800x600. The DP900 cannot compress screen 
resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer’s screen resolution 
is higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you 
connect the projector.
Note: The DP900 automatically expands 640x480 images to 
800x600. You can display these images at 640x480 by 
turning off the Auto Resize feature.  See “Auto Resize” on 
page 35.
