The XJ-M155 Signature Model XGA DLP Multimedia Projector from Casio features a hybrid LED/laser light source that outputs 3000 lumens and lasts up to 20,000 hours. A single-chip 0.55″ DLP imaging device delivers a 1024 x 768 (XGA) native resolution and 4:3 native aspect ratio. Thanks to internal scaling capability, the projector can also accept non-native signals up to 1080p for HDTV and 1600 x 1200 (UXGA) for computer sources.

For connection to a computer, Blu-ray or DVD player, A/V system, document camera, or just about any other video source, the projector features an HDMI input, a VGA input, and a legacy composite input. The VGA input also supports components by using a separately available component (YCbCr/YPbPr) to the VGA adapter or cable. A USB port allows you to connect a storage device such as a flash drive to give “PC-less” presentations. It also allows you to connect the included YW-3 wireless LAN adapter. With this adapter, you can give presentations from a Mac or Windows computer or iOS, Android, or Windows Mobile device.

A wireless IR remote is included and works from up to 16.4′ away. For integration with automation systems like Crestron or control via PJLink-compatible software, there is an RS-232C port and an Ethernet port.

Single Chip DLP Technology

Uses a 0.55″ chip covered in millions of micro-mirrors to produce an image. DLP features less spacing between pixels and better contrast than many comparable LCD-based systems, and the design does not require a filter that needs to be replaced.

1.5x Manual Zoom with 1.64 to 2.46:1 Throw Ratio

Throw ratio is one of the most important specifications a projector lens has as it tells you the image size (width) you will get at a given distance from the screen. For example, at the 1.25x zoom setting and a 15′ distance, this projector will throw a 92″-wide (115″-diagonal) image.

Laser/LED Hybrid Light Source

Combines the light produced by a laser array and a mercury-free LED lamp plus a fluorescent element to produce green that together provides a light source outputting 3000 lumens. This design is more energy efficient than conventional projector lamps and features a life of up to 20,000 hours. Additionally, it enables quick startup and shutdown, with the projector reaching its maximum brightness in a minimum of 8 seconds and no cool-down period required when shutting down.

Note: The Slim Hybrid Light Source can only be replaced by the Casio Factory Service Center. Disassembly of the projector and/or use of its technology or components for other purposes is potentially dangerous.

USB Functionality

Provides an alternative way of connecting the projector to a computer – besides HDMI or VGA – to give presentations (requires admin privileges for first-time connection)

Connect the included YW-3 wireless LAN adapter for projecting wirelessly from a computer or mobile device that has the MobiShow app installed

Connect a USB flash drive for “PC-less” presentations

PC-Less Presentations

Using a USB flash drive, card reader, or other USB storage device you can give presentations (requires ECA file type), show JPEG images, or play video directly from the projector. PowerPoint files can be converted to ECA using the EZ-Converter FA software, meanwhile, some video files may need to be converted using the ArcSoft MediaConverter 3 first – these include MP4, MOV, and many AVI files.

Wireless Presentations with MobiShow

With the MobiShow app, you beam presentations wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet. The app is compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile, and requires the device have a Wi-Fi interface so that an ad-hoc connection can be made with the projector’s WLAN adapter.

YW-3 Wireless LAN Adapter

Give presentations from a Mac or Windows computer with Wi-Fi (requires installation of wePresent software for use on Mac). For classroom and workshop applications, or presentations with multiple speakers, you can connect up to 32 computers simultaneously

Connect a mobile device that has the MobiShow app installed

4:3 Native Aspect Ratio

This projector features the XGA format, which produces a 4:3 aspect ratio picture optimal for PowerPoint presentations and many still image formats. The wider 16:9 HDTV and 16:10 computer aspect ratios can still be displayed – either by cropping the sides of the image, “letterboxing” (filling the remaining space with black bars top and bottom), or applying an anamorphic squeeze, which distorts the picture.

RS-232 Controllable

An RS-232 port allows you to operate this projector remotely using custom-developed software or an automation system such as Crestron.

Supports DLP-Link Active 3D Glasses

Because of the high scan rate of the DLP devices, 3D sync data for active shutter glasses can be sandwiched between video frames. This requires a compatible graphics card and compatible software – such as a 3D video game – as well as DLP-Link, enabled 3D glasses, available separately.
