Leica Smart Projection has expanded its portfolio with the Leica Cine Compact 1, a flexible mini projector that combines state-of-the-art laser technology with sophisticated functionality.

Providing a straightforward plug-and-play home entertainment experience offering Leica’s renowned picture quality, the projector offers a combination of outstanding picture and sound quality, maximum compatibility and a compact, stylish design.

Versatile and user-friendly, it’s perfect for modern home entertainment. Whether used in living rooms, on walls or ceilings, in gardens or on terraces, this smart mini projector delivers an impressive cinema experience with brightness of up to 1,700 lumens and a projection size of up to 220 inches. Thanks to its 360° rotation system, it can even be used without a permanently installed screen. Building on a long tradition of optical expertise that began in 1926 with the first Leica projector, the Leica Cine Compact 1 continues this legacy in a contemporary form. Inside the projector, a precisely tuned optical system ensures outstanding image quality. A Leica Summicron zoom lens with aspherical elements, a high-performance 0.47-inch DMD image chip and modern Triple RGB laser technology produce razor-sharp 4K images characterised by crisp details, natural colours and impressive brightness. Leica’s proprietary image processing technology (Leica Image Optimization – LIO) further enhances the image performance, ensuring consistently high display quality, regardless of image size or location. Dolby Vision also guarantees precise contrasts and subtle brightness transitions.

Thanks to the integrated 360° rotation system, images can be projected from almost any angle, onto walls, ceilings and other surfaces. Automatic functions – such as zoom, autofocus, keystone correction and intelligent screen framing – handle setup on their own, providing a perfectly aligned image instantly with no manual effort required. The optional Leica stand provides additional flexibility, alternatively, an integrated tripod thread enables the projector to be mounted on the ceiling.

The Leica Cine Compact 1 also impresses with its connectivity and ease-of-use features. Its integrated VIDAA operating system offers direct access to streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime. The projector can be seamlessly incorporated into existing setups and flexibly expanded via wi-fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay and Apple HomeKit, as well as HDMI and USB ports. Its integrated sound system delivers clear, expansive sound, which can be supplemented with external speakers via Bluetooth 5.4 or HDMI. The system’s included Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS Virtual:X audio technologies provide an immersive surround sound experience.

The Leica Cine Compact 1’s features are rounded off by its elegant design, high-quality craftsmanship and durability. Its solid aluminium Bauhaus-style housing with an elegant glass front ensures precise optical alignment, efficient thermal management and consistently stable performance. Designed for long-term use, its energy-efficient Triple RGB laser technology guarantees consistently high image brightness that will last for many years to come.

The Leica Cine Compact 1 comes with an eco-friendly transport case made from fully recyclable EPP material that combines functionality with sustainability. The case allows for convenient storage and safe transportation of the projector, completely replacing the otherwise standard transport packaging. ✤
