Today, there are multimedia projectors that are the standard. These projectors are found pretty much everywhere – in home theater systems for gaming and cinema, in conference rooms, in offices and in classrooms and lecture halls.

Most of today's multimedia projectors offer HDMI or DVI inputs, as well as other older standards, such as VGA and composite and S-videos. Even pico projectors that are all multimedia offer HDMI inputs. Those multimedia projectors that are tailormade for business and education also have built-in speakers.
These projectors have evolved over the years to have at least 5 to 8 different inputs. Many of these projectors offer wired, wireless or both and some can even present from content passed along the network. Other with wireless networking can even switch between different computers in the room.

Most of these multimedia projectors support computers and some even have a multimedia player that lets you project presentations from JPEG images. So, to cut a long story short, today's projectors feature both videos and stills combined. If that isn't multimedia, what is?
