Telefónica uses Casio extra-flat projectors for its training schools

The eight training schools that Telefónica has in different cities of our country have installed extra-flat projectors Green Slim Casio -models XJ-A140 and XJ-A155- to provide technical courses for employees and suppliers on switchboards, Fiber optic installations, Phones & Devices, networks, circuitry, commutation, Radio Transmission, Routers, ADSL...

The training schools of Telephone -where technical courses are offered for employees and suppliers, but also in agreement with municipalities and schools among other audiences- have incorporated projectors Cassius state-of-the-art in their classrooms. So far, have been installed 21 units, Although the figure will increase shortly because the company has already approved the acquisition of new devices by the end of the year, According to the website electro-imagen.com.

The Telefónica training schools that have incorporated the new Casio projectors are: Madrid, valence, Barcelona, Bilbao, Seville, Malaga, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Zaragoza. In these centres, Technical training courses are offered: Switchboards, Fiber optic installations, Phones & Devices, networks, circuitry, commutation, Radio Transmission, Routers, ADSL... Likewise, Project leadership-based training is offered, Occupational hazards, Stress management, office automation or own applications on PC for employees and supplier companies.

Most of the projectors installed are of the XJ-A140 and XJ-A155 models, devices belonging to the line of extra-slim projectors Green Slim of Casio, characterized by its ultra compact design and high performance. Both models have a light output of 2.500 ANSI lumens and 3.000 respectively and an XGA resolution (4:3) of 1.024 X 768 Pixels, optical zoom of 2 Increases; in addition to allowing the possibility of making presentations without a computer through USB port, among other options.

Exclusive hybrid laser light technology & LED

However, The most remarkable of Casio's Green Slim projector line is the exclusive laser hybrid light technology & LED (Laser & LED Hybrid). About the Laser System & LED Hybrid are based, In addition, all new models of Casio projectors in the different product families of the company in terms of projection: Standard, Short Range and Pro. This technology is exclusive, and revolutionary, For several reasons. The first is that it eliminates high-pressure mercury lamps., a substance which has a negative effect on the environment, In addition to significantly reducing the maintenance and operating costs of projectors.

Laser Technology & LED Hybrid allows new Casio projectors to achieve powerful brightness by projecting three colors through a DLP chip: the red color is emitted by a high luminosity red LED, Blue is emitted by a high luminosity blue laser and green is obtained from the blue laser by changing the wavelength. The light source has an approximate lifetime of 20.000 hours, reducing maintenance and operating costs. In addition, los nuevos proyectores de Casio alcanzan toda su luminosidad en menos de 5 Seconds, y pueden desconectarse sin necesidad de refrigeración.

David Carapeto, coordinador de Formación de Telefónica España, ha afirmado que “el valor diferencial que nos ofrecen los proyectores Casio es su tecnología de luz híbrida de Laser & LED. In our centers, damos un uso muy intensivo a los proyectores, si tenemos en cuenta que impartimos una media de 1,5 millones de horas de formación al año. Muchas de las aulas imparten formación durante 12 horas al día.”

In this sense, Jordi Casals, Key Account de la división de proyectores de Casio, ha incidido en las necesidades de Telefónica a la hora de la selección de un proveedor de proyectores. “El cliente nos insistió mucho -recuerda Casals- in the need to have equipment for very intensive use. Laser's unique hybrid light technology & Casio LED was key in Telefónica's commitment to our company, since, In addition, mercury lamps are very expensive and highly polluting, If one was melted in the middle of class, it had to be stopped in order to replace it.. In addition, Our projectors are immune to voltage spikes, that often cause a lamp to melt when a projector is turned on or off.

Long service life and excellent performance

Another benefit of the new technology to Casio projectors is its durability. In this sense, Casals states that "a mercury lamp has a useful life of between 1.500 and 2.000 hours. A Casio projector lasts a 20.000 hours, which is equivalent to 10 proyectores tradicionales de lámparas de mercurio.”

parallel, Telefónica valora algunas de las altas prestaciones que ofrecen los nuevos proyectores. Like this, Miguel Ángel Arnedo, asesor de formación de la Escuela de Formación de la compañía en Barcelona, ha destacado por encima de todo “la excelente calidad de imagen y resolución que ofrecen los equipos. Antes de decidirnos por los productos Casio realizamos pruebas en diferentes centros que ofrecieron muy buenos resultados.”

For its part, Jordi Casals ha agregado que “la calidad cromática de nuestros proyectores es excepcional, gracias al chip DLP de última generación de Texas Instruments”. At last, Antonio Ruiz, Training advisor of the School of Valencia has commented that "one of the differential values of Casio projectors is that they turn on and off very quickly, they do not heat up and have numerous automatisms of adaptation to the different computers that we have in the School."
