Cinemo Projection Plus™ is a transformative solution to extend Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto projection technologies to an advanced in-car entertainment experience. By using Cinemo Projection Plus™, users can project their mobile phones into the car’s head unit and then control and distribute multimedia content to their personal devices including perfect audio and video synchronization between devices and Head Unit, creating a truly game-changing entertainment system on its own. Providing such a powerful entertainment extension is achieved by using the award winning Cinemo Distributed Playback™ and Cinemo Media Management™ technology alongside the projection technologies. Cinemo Projection Plus™ also delivers a new dimension to any vehicles that do not have the luxury of rear-seat entertainment systems and connected car technologies, as it can take advantage of existing projection protocols to stream high quality audio to the head unit and also function as a control and playback device with parental control, shared playlists and all required player interoperability.

Cinemo’s software architecture offers a cogent array of technologies that create a vibrant network environment of multi-media control, personal device integration, and local and cloud online services. Its high-quality IVI solutions, including rear-seat and tablet-based multimedia, serve all operating system and hardware platforms and have been selected by top car manufacturers and automotive companies worldwide for their current and future infotainment platforms.

“The German Design Council is one of the world’s leading centers of expertise in communication and knowledge transfer within design, innovation and branding so we are truly honored to be acknowledged with a Best in Best award for Cinemo Projection Plus™ in the Future, Mobility and Parts category of the Automotive Brand Contest 2020” says Ivan Dimkovic, Co-Founder of Cinemo. “Cinemo technologies reflect the changing needs of consumers forging a link with in-car mobility and always-on environment to experience a paragon shift in car entertainment”.
