Casio announced today the release of eight new Super Slim Projector models in its XJ-SC and XJ-S series. The new data projectors boast the world’s slimmest body, only 32mm at the thinnest point (with a maximum height of 43mm). The models in the XJ-SC series feature a high-fidelity color-rendering light engine algorithm that delivers improved color reproduction. By adopting a high-fidelity color-rendering light engine algorithm and improving the color wheel, Casio has enlarged the color region by approximately 10% over previous models (XJ-S46/S41). The all new Casio Super Slim Projector models are equipped with a wide-angle 2X power zoom, providing the highest magnification available in a data projector and enabling projection from distances as close as 0.84 m.

XJ-SC Series
By adopting a high-fidelity color-rendering light engine algorithm and improving the color wheel, Casio has enlarged the color region by approximately 10% over previous models (XJ-S46/S41). These enhancements make for a more color-accurate image with better maintained white rendering and improved yellows and magentas for more natural reproduction, as well as more vivid reds and blues. Casio offers two models in this series: the XJ-SC215 with USB port and the XJ-SC210.
XJ-S Series
Casio has achieved improved brightness over previous XJ-S Series models (XJ-S46/41) through enhancements to the color-rendering light engine and cooling system. The XJ-S57/S52 pack a powerful 3,000 ANSI lumens and the XJ-S47/S42 put out 2,700 ANSI lumens. With superb cost-performance and 2,300 ANSI lumens the XJ-S37/S32 round out the XJ-S Series line up. The XJ-S57/S47/S37 all have a USB port.
All models are equipped with a wide-angle 2X power zoom, providing the highest magnification available in a data projector and enabling projection from distances as close as 0.84 m. Boasting the world’s thinnest body, Casio’s Super Slim Projectors measure only 32mm at the thinnest point, with a maximum height of 43mm. Excellent portability makes Super Slim Series projectors ideal for a range of venues and applications, from daily meetings to full-scale presentations. These new models feature RS-232C connectivity, so power and input functions can be controlled through off-the-shelf remote control units, essential for fixed ceiling installations.
Models that have a USB port with a host function can load and show many forms of data* with no PC connected, including presentations, spreadsheets, word processed documents, and PDF files. Or, an optionally available USB wireless adapter frees users to deliver presentations from a PC without having to stay near the projector.
