Casio launches eco-friendly 3D capable projectors

NEW DELHI: Casio India launched three feature rich, hybrid data projectors that it claims are the world's first mercury lamp free projectors.

The company already has 17 other models that it retails in India, but the new green projectors will give it an edge, it believes.

Standard Models: This mercury free Standard model projector series has an ANSI lumen upto 3000 and comes with a host of technological advancements to serve to its wide range of users. One unique feature is that these projectors are compatible with 3D content.

The standard model is equipped with a DLP 3D projection function that permits projection of 3D content onto a screen. Users can enjoy the high-impact 3D stereoscopic images of this model with 3D glasses.

The model also comes equipped with wireless LAN function with MobiShow compatibility and USB 2.0 host function to access data stored in USB memory. Wireless connection with smartphones and other mobile devices as well as with Windows PCs is also possible.
The price for Standard series ranges from Rs 66,995 to Rs 99,995.

Pro Models: Pro-Model projector series can achieve brightness of up to 3,500 ANSI lumens without a mercury lamp. This enables large screen projection in large conference rooms as well as clear projection of images in brightly lit rooms.

This model has a 10W monaural speaker installed in the projector, which permits powerful sound output without an external speaker. A DLP 3D projection function adds a stereoscopic image projection capability.

The long life semiconductor light source reduces the maintenance requisite as compared with conventional models that require mercury lamp replacement.

The price for Pro-Model Series ranges from Rs 1,19,995 to Rs 1,34,995.

Short Throw Series
The Short Throw series with upto 3000 lumens is equipped with a set of applications, making it ideal for classroom teaching.

The Short Throw model can be equipped with a short-throw lens for projection of 60-inch images at a distance of 80 cm. The shorter projection distance provided by this close-up projection reduces shadows on the screen and eliminates the possible distraction of projector light shining in viewers' eyes, optimizing user and viewer comfort.

Short throw model is also equipped with a MobiShow compatible wireless LAN function and USB 2.0 host function which makes it ideal for business use also.
