One of the problems with showing television or DVD programming to a group using a projection system—particularly in business situations—is that close captioning information included with video programming is usually entirely lost. Sometimes, that’s not a big deal, but when an audience includes the deaf or hard-of-hearing, it makes all the difference in the world.

Toshiba’s new TLP-X100U mobile projector aims to address that shortcoming for the business crowd, offering a slim design (less than three inches tall), 3LCD technology for decent color reproduction, and a blackboard function that lets users make presentation on non-screen surfaces like blackboards or a painted wall. However, the TLPX100U also includes another key feature: close captioning support, which enables users to display captioning information from a television signal or DVD player.
