The Casio XJ-A257 WXGA Slim Projector incorporates Casio's developed and patent pending Hybrid Light Source which combines Laser and LED technologies for amazing high brightness and can last up to 20,000 hours. The Slim is an earth-friendly, low maintenance, 5-pound projector with features such as a 2X power zoom lens making it a great portable projector. The Slim Projector eliminates the need for a short life mercury lamp (typically 3000 hours) and is economical to operate. It also includes MobiShow.

Casio has applied its unique new Laser & LED Hybrid Light Source to achieve breakthrough development of a mercury-free high-brightness projector. Adopting a new semiconductor-based light source system combining a blue laser, phosphor and a red LED, we have achieved both high-brightness performances enabling projection in well-lit rooms and environmental friendliness with mercury eliminated from the light source.

The light source’s life of approximately 20,000 hours far outshines that of conventional projectors that require mercury lamp replacement. It saves maintenance labor and contributes to a significant reduction in operating costs. Since brightness degradation is more gradual than with mercury lamps, moreover, it maintains vivid image quality through long-term use.

The dramatic improvement in color purity achieved by the new light source has significantly improved color reproduction. Not only are the colors clearer and more beautiful, but the projected images also look brighter due to the visual effects of the high-purity colors. Users benefit from clearer, more powerful images than conventional projectors can achieve.

Mobile configuration for carrying convenience. Casio's innovative mobile styling has resulted in an A4-size projector that measures just 43mm in thickness and 2.3 kg in weight. It slips neatly into a slim briefcase and travels with you easily to presentations outside your office. Smart ceiling installation. An optional mount enables users to attach the projector securely to the ceiling. Its lightweight, compact design, matched to the shape of the main projector unit, is tastefully unobtrusive, ensuring that the projector blends in with conference room and classroom facilities and decor.

Wireless operation. Wireless connection with a smartphone or tablet by C-Assist permits remote control of the projector or a PC. The ability to change from one projected image to another, project digital images taken with a camera in real time and share pages accessed by browser with viewers contributes to more efficient conferences and impressive presentations.

Wide-angle 2x zoom capability. The wide-angle 2x zoom lens boosts magnification to the highest level among data projectors. This zoom capability enables the projector to project optimally sized images from close to the screen or farther away as well as to correct screen distortions resulting from the projector’s positioning automatically.

Internal memory for PC-free presentations. Presentation materials stored in the (2GB) internal memory can be projected without a PC. Operators can project still or moving images as well as files in PDF (and other) formats without conversion. The operation can be conducted with the bundled remote controller or a smartphone.
