DOVER, N.J., June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- While our nation has experienced some positive growth after one of the worst economic times in our country's history, our economy is still in a fragile state. Both the private and public sectors are continuing to look for ways to save. Many times, AV professionals are forced to seek comprehensive solutions that drive efficiency, lower costs, streamline workflow and integrate seamlessly into every day activities.

In response to the rapidly changing economic environment, Casio America, Inc., a leader in the digital projection space, developed the world's first LASER & LED, lamp-free portfolio of projectors.
