Tokyo,
June 7, 2006 — CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD., have announced
the release of the Super Slim Projector, a new product in
the CASSIOPEIA® PRO series of data projectors. Two models
will be available: the XJ-S35 and the XJ-S30. Casio Computer
Co., Ltd., will start shipping the new projectors in the
third quarter of 2006.
CASIO’s CASSIOPEIA® PRO series, introduced
at the end of 2003, is well known for its compact size and
brightness. CASSIOPEIA® PRO also won kudos
for being the first data projector with a wide-angle 2X
zoom lens. This series of projectors has won rave reviews
from both businesses and schools, and are used for a broad
range of applications.
With the new Super Slim Projector (models XJ-S35 and XJ-S30),
CASIO has made components such as the projection lens and
light source much smaller, achieving a significant reduction
in the height of the unit to just 43 mm (32 mm at the thinnest
point). In addition, the high-end XJ-35 model enables users
to make PowerPoint and other presentations without a PC.
A whole new breed of communication tool, the Super Slim
Projector expands on what users can do through innovations
in both form and function.
The Super Slim Projector’s wide-angle 2X zoom lens
gives it the best range of any data projector on the market—images
can be projected from as close as 0.84 m. It also delivers
remarkable brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens, so users can
make presentations without dimming the lights. This groundbreaking
new mobile projector is great for small, everyday meetings
and major presentations—and everything in between.
Accompanying the new data projectors, CASIO is also introducing
the YP-100 Multi-functional Presentation Kit, an accessory
that acts as a support tool for presentations that use data
projectors. Casio Computer Co., Ltd., will start shipping
the YP-100 in the third quarter of 2006.

| Main
Features of Super Slim Projector XJ-S35/XJ-S30 |
|
| Super
Bright Projection in an Amazingly Slim Device |
| |
The
XJ-S35/XJ-S30 data projectors deliver 2000 ANSI lumens
of brilliant light in a 43mm thin package (32 mm at
thinnest point), thanks to CASIO’s proprietary
light source and cooling technologies. This makes
it easy for users to carry the XJ-S35/XJ-S30 along
with a notebook PC for use in client meeting rooms
and other bright locations, with no need to dim the
lights. |
|
| •
|
High-efficiency,
thin-design optical unit
An aspherical reflector and a condenser lens
with a new shape maximize the characteristics
of the light source lamp, enabling a dramatic
reduction in the unit’s size. |
|
| •
|
Single-fan,
two-chamber cooling system
The body is divided into two sections with a
high static pressure fan located between the
two. In addition, a heat pipe is provided in
the exhaust section, a first for a projector,
to disperse heat and provide efficient cooling
in a small space. |
|
|
| Presentations
Possible Without a PC (XJ-S35 Only) |
| |
Still
images (JPEG/BMP) and video files (AVI format files
compatible with MPEG 4 or Motion JPEG) stored on portable
USB memory can be projected simply by inserting the
USB memory device into the projector’s USB port.
Even Microsoft PowerPoint files can be projected after
converting them on a PC (with Windows 2000 or XP)
using software that comes with the unit, enabling
users to make smart and speedy presentations without
a PC. Additionally, CASIO’s YC-400 multi-functional
camera system, which can project non-digital documents
and three-dimensional objects on a screen, can also
be directly connected without using a PC. |
|
| Supports
Wireless Connection with Windows PC (XJ-S35 Only) |
| |
The
YW-2S USB Wireless Adapter is available as an option.
Up to four Windows (2000 or XP) PCs can be wirelessly
connected after installing simple software. This makes
it easy to conduct meetings that bring together multiple
presentations on different PCs in locations removed
from the projector. |
|
| Wide-angle
2X Optical Zoom (Best in Class for Data Projectors) |
| |
The
XJ-S35/XJ-S30 projectors feature a wide-angle 2X zoom
lens that is highly compact thanks to the use of a
molded-glass aspherical lens for high image quality
and a lead-screw drive system that puts lenses in-line
within the lens tube. This enables images to be projected
from as close as 0.84 m, or as far away as 1.7 to
3.4 m when using a 60” screen. This versatility
allows for use in everything from small meeting rooms
to larger conference halls and classrooms. |
|
| Automatic
Keystone Correction |
| |
Projector-to-screen
angle is detected to automatically correct top distortion,
and unit also allows for manual correction to bottom
distortion: each by 30 degrees. |
|
| True
XGA Support |
| |
These
data projectors employ DLP® projection technology
for true XGA (1024 x 768) display and SXGA (1280 x
1024) compressed display. They also feature video
input ports compatible with a wide variety of image
sources. |
