At the recent InfoComm tradeshow, Casio showcased its expansive lineup of LampFree projectors, and specifically highlighted its new Superior Series. Casio says the new series is ideal for a range of environments, from businesses to classrooms. Casio’s Superior Series projectors offer many benefits including high brightness, low maintenance, and installation flexibility. This year’s InfoComm marked Casio’s 10th year as the pioneer in LampFree projection.

Casio’s new Superior Series is one of the world’s smallest 4000 lumens projectors which can project large images up to 300”. As the Company’s first WUXGA projector series, the new models provide full HD resolution with crisp images and vibrant colors. And with a 1.7X zoom lens and 360° installation angle capability, the Superior Series increases flexibility with installations as the projectors can fit into a variety of tight places.

The Superior Series features the next generation of Casio’s industry-leading, mercury-free Laser and LED hybrid light source. The new R-Hybrid Light Source technology produces clear and brilliant colors while providing the same great cost-saving benefits of Casio’s previous technology, including a service life of up to 20,000 hours without the need to change a lamp. Additionally, the Superior Series boasts Casio’s new dust resistant design which helps to prevent the deterioration of brightness, even in dusty environments. With no lamps or filters to replace, Casio’s Superior Series of LampFree projectors are a great low maintenance digital signage solution.

Superior Series network models come equipped with Casio’s Collaboration Solutions that provide quick wireless connectivity and collaboration features that help to facilitate easier use of the projectors during meetings and presentations. One Click Connection allows wireless projection by simply clicking on the dedicated icon for each boardroom or meeting room on your device. The Moderator Function allow presenters to project their own PC display or select a presenter from anywhere in the room and project their device onto the screen. Up to 40 devices can be connected to the projector at one time and up to 4 devices can be displayed on-screen simultaneously.  With PC Remote, the presenter’s PC can be controlled remotely from the presenter’s smart phone or tablet so that they can conveniently switch presentation materials and turn pages while walking around the room. When users are finished, they can easily transition from one room to the next with the Auto Projection Off feature, which automatically puts the projector into stand-by mode. Additional features include a Countdown Timer to help with time management, a Template function to increase efficiency and more.

Display market analyst firm PMA Research gathers market data on projector sales. Their series of Projector Census and Forecast reports show that sales of Solid-State projectors have steadily grown over the past decade, and are forecast to continue to do so in the coming years.
