Big Screen in a Compact Format.

The compact, smart home cinema laser projector Leica Cine Compact 1 combines precise laser projection technology with sophisticated functionality to provide a flexible and plug-and-play home entertainment experience.

The optical system inside has been meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional performance. It features an aspherical Leica Summicron zoom lens, a large and powerful 0.47″ DMD image chip and a modern Triple RGB laser. This results in razor-sharp 4K images characterised by a great deal of detail, natural colours and impressive brightness. In combination with Leica Image Optimization (LIO™), image quality remains consistently high, regardless of image size or set-up location. With up to 1,700 lumens and a maximum projection size of 220 inches, you will be treated to superb images in cinema quality – even without a permanently installed screen, whether on a wall, ceiling or any other surface in a room, garden or patio.

The 360° rotation system provides for additional positioning options, allowing you to project at just about any angle. The integrated zoom function, autofocus, keystone correction and smart screen framing set up your projection automatically, so you can start screening immediately, without manual effort. This saves time and ensures flexibility day in day out.

The elegant, high-quality housing made of solid aluminium with a glass front in a Bauhaus style embodies durability and stability. It provides the foundation for stable, precise alignment of the optics and the entire system, while also ensuring efficient heat management and maintaining a high level of performance, ensuring the stability, precise optical adjustment, efficient cooling and consistently high image quality. The energy-efficient Triple RGB laser technology is also designed for long-term use: the image will remain vividly bright over many years. And finally, Dolby Vision augments the image with precise contrast and nuanced gradients between light and dark areas.

With the integrated VIDAA operating system, streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video are available right out of the box. Thanks to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay, Apple HomeKit, as well as HDMI and USB connectivity, the Cine Compact 1 integrates effortlessly into existing setups and can be expanded with ease.

The built-in sound system delivers clear, room-filling audio from the start and can be enhanced via Bluetooth 5.4 with external speakers. Integrated audio technologies including Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS Virtual:X provide the foundation for a truly immersive surround sound experience.

In this way, the smart and compact Leica projector offers not only impressive technical capabilities, but tangible everyday benefits—intuitive operation, maximum flexibility, and consistently outstanding picture and sound quality.

In combination with the optionally available and compatible Leica Floor Stand 1, the system will effortlessly blend into any application scenario, allowing you to set it up flexibly anywhere in your home. The integrated tripod thread also enables overhead installation.
