Casio Projectors offer a new suite of presentation features including wireless uploading of presentations from smart phones

Three of the newly released 2012 Casio LED Slim projector models (the XJ-A146, XJ-A246 and XJ- A256) are now equipped with USB capabilities, MobiShow, Wireless Presentations and a presentation timer — making them the ultimate presentation solution.

• MobiShow makes business presentations possible from most popular mobile devices using only a WiFi connection. Compatible with Microsoft Windows® Mobile, iPhone®, iPad® and Android® operating systems. For more info on MobiShow visit www.awindinc.com/mobishow/

• Now offering built-in presentation timer function to keep track of time and ensure all presentations are done in a timely fashion. A compact window is displayed in the corner of the screen and lets both the presenter and audience know how much time is left for the presentation.

• Users can make wireless presentations from Mac computers. Up to 32 computers can be connected at one time and users can also view up to four PCs on an individual screen simultaneously.

“We are extremely proud of the success of our SLIM series. Due to this success, Casio will continue to build on the technology, increase efficiency and streamline costs, bringing the professional presenter the best in class each and every time,” said Matt Mustachio, general manager of Casio’s Business Projector Division. “Today presenters need to have a unit that will continuously deliver and help make the presentation process stress free.”

As one of our Casio Dealers put it, at the cost of a standard DLP presentation projector and one extra bulb, the Casio provides a lifetime of usage without ever needing another lamp replacement...

TV One Ships CORIO®matrix, The Anything In, Anything Out Modular Matrix Router

ERLANGER, KY, November 1, 2011 – TV One ships the new C3-340 CORIO®matrix, the first of many revolutionary products from the new CORIOmax product line.

The C3-340 CORIO®matrix is based on TV One’s exclusive CORIO®2 technology and provides high quality modular video matrix switching using CORIO®softswitch, which provides an

Industry first firmware based video routing, switching and video conversion platform. 16 AV universal module slots are available and the CORIO®matrix automatically recognizes the modules inserted as an input or output module. With the CORIO®matrix there are no dedicated input or output slots when using 2-Channel DVI-U or 3G-SDI modules. This flexibility allows end user configurations to be based on their own needs instead of the router forcing a certain setup and limited configuration. Additional DVI-U or 3G-SDI modules can be added later in open slots without having to re-set the router. All AV modules are hot swappable and recognized for immediate auto configuration.  

For additional information contact your local Mizzen Representative.
