Casio America, Inc., announced today the release of the world’s brightest* Micro Portable projectors. The XJ-S68 and XJ-S63 feature 3500 ANSI lumens and maintain the Super Slim form for which Casio projectors are know. The models, using DLP® projection technology, will make life easier for road warriors and mobile presenters, and ensure their presentations will be seen in any lighting conditions. Everyone from ProAV installers to the mobile presenter will appreciate the high brightness output in the Super Slims’ low profile package. The fourth generation of projectors in the Super Slim line will be on display at Casio’s Booth # 2949 at the INFOCOMM that opened today in the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
While maintaining the industries’ slimmest business-quality projector**, Casio has achieved 3,500 ANSI lumens output. This brightness level and versatile 2X power zoom lens allows the Super Slim projectors to be used in the boardroom, conference, or classroom, where brightness is key. Whether in the dark or in a bright room, at 3500 ANSI lumens the Super Slim projectors are the perfect solution for business executives and educators who are looking to project a crisp, bright image, lesson or presentation.
Additionally, the USB equipped XJ-S68 model enables users to make PowerPoint and other presentations wirelessly and without a PC.
“Casio is thrilled to introduce these two new additions to the Super Slim projector line,” said Frank Romeo, Vice President of Casio’s Business Projector Division. “Casio continues improving the performance and value of the Super Slim projector with these 4th generation models.”
The new models will also support connectivity for control through RS-232 and will be compatible with Crestron, Extron and AMX products. This feature, along with the flexibility of 2X power zoom lens and super slim design, make it perfect for low profile placement in any conference room or classroom.
The XJ-S68 will include a USB port for wireless connectivity through an optional WiFi receiver. This feature will allow for expanded connectivity in the conference room, as it will be enable up to four PC’s to connect at a time.
For portable applications, the USB port also supports PC-less presentations with your USB thumb drive***. Through Casio’s EZ-Converter Pro software you can convert and present spreadsheets, word processing documents and presentations including PDF, files.
Both models are equipped with wide-angle 2X power zoom providing the highest magnification in a data projector. This power zoom will enable projection from short distances of 2.8 feet and can reach a total of 30 feet. Boasting the world’s thinnest body**, Casio’s Super Slim measures only 1.26” at its thinnest point with an overall thickness of 1.69”.
The XJ-S68 and XJ-S63 models feature DLP projection technology and will be available through Casio’s authorized pro AV dealers and resellers. Planned pricing will start from $1,299 – $1,399 MSRP. For more information please log on to www.superslimprojector.com.
