In the Box
Your Ditto box includes the beam (2 parts), the projector, bubble level, power cord, cord covers (3), pattern weights (4), target stickers, rotary cutter, and the cutting mat. You will not need to purchase any of these items separately.
Technical
The Ditto system requires internet connectivity. Users choose and customize patterns on the website and send them to the projector via the Ditto app. This requires Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability. Click here for an in-depth overview of technical specs.
To use the calibration system and project a pattern, you will need an iOS or Android device.
You can access the website on a computer or on the web browser of an iOS/Android device.
The projector must be plugged into an outlet to function. Ditto works with worldwide household AC power outlets (100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz).
