CASIO’s XJ-S35 and XJ-S30 super slim projectors are part of Casio’s Cassiopeia Pro series of data projectors. Casio intended to reproduce the good features of the Cassiopeia PRO series in an even smaller package.

Both the super slim projectors are DLP projectors using a Texas Instruments 0.55 inch DLP microdisplay chip for an XGA (1,024 x 768) display.

With specifications including; dimensions of 270(W) ×199 (D) × 43 (H) mm, weight of 1.8kg, contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and brightness of 2,000 ANSI lumens they intend the super slim projectors to be a briefcase portable data projector with a brightness making it suitable for business or educational presentations in venues with a fair amount of ambient light. The projection range from a minimum of 0.84m to a maximum of 5.6m for a 100 inch screen provides setup flexibility. The projection range is aided by a wide-angle 2X zoom lens. Digital vertical keystone correction of Auto: +30 degrees and Manual +/- 30 degrees also adds to setup flexibility.

The key difference between the projectors is the USB(1.1) connection available on the XJ-S35 model which enables a user to make a presentation without a PC. Still images (JPEG/BMP), video files (AVI format compatible with MPEG 4 or Motion JPEG) and Microsoft PowerPoint files (after conversion with bundled software) can be presented simply by plugging in the portable USB memory. An optional USB wireless adapter is available to allow users to deliver presentations remote from the projector. A Casio YW-2S USB Wireless Adapter can used with connect up to four (Windows 2000 or XP) PCs wirelessly.

For a more complete mobile presentation suite the XJ-S35 can be combined with CASIO’s YC-400 multi-functional camera system, which can project non-digital documents and three-dimensional objects on a screen and can also be directly connected without using a PC.
