With a rich heritage in vision products, Philips is a trusted trendsetter. In a year of many challenges and changes, the company has perfectly caught the wave of a booming trend, projection. Philips Projection is now launching 6 new types of NeoPix Home Projectors and PicoPix Portable Projectors that will be available at special prices from April 2021.
How consumers access and view content has radically shifted as Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube came of age via streaming. Streaming and subscription platforms now dominate media consumption, streaming and beaming are made for each other. The gaming industry has also significantly changed over the years and has evolved to a continuously growing 200 billion market. Mobile gaming is currently the fastest growing sector of this followed by console gaming.
Boasting vibrant images and booming sound the NeoPix and PicoPix Collections transform digital devices with small screens such as laptops by easily connecting and projecting expansive projected media up to 120”. The NeoPix Collection is designed for entry-level consumers looking to elevate their visual experience, while the PicoPix Collection is thoughtfully crafted for those always on the go and want to share their media with peers and project anywhere they want.
The new feature-packed range unlocks online streaming, casting the images and setting them free from small screens. Projection is ideal for families and groups to enjoy immersive viewing together. Not only are projectors audience inclusive but so too is the new range of devices. Philips offers a diverse choice of features, price points, and use cases, we might say, “compact in size and compact on price”.

Guest Post: Take The SquadCast Challenge!
Posted in Commentary with tags SquadCast on April 23, 2021 by itnerdDuring the pandemic, we’ve all become intimately familiar with our (not-so) new coworker Zoom after switching to remote work, remote cocktail parties, and even remote exercise. So it’s understandable why some might still default to using Zoom for conducting and recording podcast and remote interviews. However, there are some major differences between SquadCast and the world’s most popular pandemic-era communication medium.
SquadCast’s top benefit remains it’s high-fidelity audio, and last month with the introduction of SquadCast v. 3.5, crystal-clear video is now available on the remote recording platform.
Let’s compare SquadCast To Zoom to see how they stack up:
1. How many actual steps does it take for the guest? The SquadCast team counted how many clicks it takes to start a SquadCast session compared to Zoom. They counted everything in the experience before you hit the stop button: connecting, inviting your guest, joining, and recording.
Results: Zoom takes twice as many clicks for you and your guests to record together.
2. What are the technical challenges? Everybody in a Zoom conversation must have an account and download and install the platform before the session. When recording a SquadCast conversation, the guest doesn’t need to have or do anything other than provide an email address to obtain a link, click the link, show up and talk.
Results: With Zoom, the installation alone is multiple steps. With Squadcast: zero technical challenges.
3. After the conversation, how accessible are the files, and how quickly are they available? With SquadCast, the answer is as soon as you click stop. The files are rendered and ready to download and listen to. In Zoom, you have to completely close out and disconnect your room before the files even start rendering for you to gain access to them. To gain access to the files, one must go to another page that’s not part of the core Zoom experience. With SquadCast, another advantage is the ability to test record for thirty seconds, for example, and then playback to ensure everything is sounding good and ready.
Results: SquadCast’s files are ready immediately upon completion and testing the sound is easy. With Zoom, multiple steps are necessary to obtain files.
