Canon Canada Launches a New Family of Laser and Lamp LCOS Projectors and Interchangeable Lenses
The Three New Models Feature WUXGA High Resolution, High Brightness and Advanced Projection Technologies
BRAMPTON, ON., January 30, 2018 - Continuing to exceed the demands of professional projection applications across a wide range of industries, Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced an expansion to its award-winning REALiS LCOS projector lineup. From small conference rooms to large lecture halls, the REALiS WUX5800Z and WUX7000Z Laser Projectors and the REALiS WUX6700 Lamp Projector offer users WUXGA (1920 x 1200) high resolution, high brightness ranging from 5800–7000 lumens and versatile connectivity including HDMI and DisplayPort terminals – all in an enhanced, durable compact body.
The newly designed models are also complemented by a centered lens mount that fits six interchangeable Genuine Canon lenses, including a unique Ultra Short Fixed Lens RS-SL06UW with an impressive short throw ratio (0.54:1) and large vertical lens shift (-15% ~ +75%) for outstanding installation flexibility.
All three new projector models share these key technologies/features:
- Superb Image Quality and WUXGA (1920 x 1200) Resolution: Canon’s renowned LCOS technology with AISYS-enhancement, which incorporates three WUXGA high-resolution panels, combined with an advanced colour management system allow the reproduction of bright, highly detailed and colour-accurate images.
- High Brightness (5800-7000 Lumens): The two new Laser models offer brightness of 5800 and 7000 lumens, and the new Lamp model offers a brightness of 6700 lumens.
- Compact Design with Centre Lens Mount: Ideal for multi-projection and stacking, these projectors feature a compact design as well as a new one-touch robust “spigot type” centre lens mount system, which helps ensure lenses can be quickly and securely installed to meet a wide range of applications including those used in demanding environments.
- Versatile Connectivity with DisplayPort and HDBaseT Terminals: These models include multiple industry-standard interfaces including HDMI®, DisplayPort and DVI-I, as well as HDBaseT for enhanced installation flexibility and Wi-Fi® connectivity – which can be used to operate the projector’s Network Multi Projection (NMPJ) function and Canon Service Tool for PJ free app.
- DICOM® Simulation Mode¹: All models include a DICOM® Simulation Mode¹ which can be ideal for those in the medical education and training field who require displaying monochrome digital X-rays, CAT scans and MRIs with superb grayscale gradation. This mode, which offers both clear and blue-base colour temperature presets, simulates the results of devices compliant with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14 standard.
REALiS WUX5800Z, WUX7000Z Laser LCOS Projectors**
The WUX5800Z (5800 lumens) and WUX7000Z (7000 lumens) are powered by a laser phosphor light source which provides long-life lasting operation of up to 20,0002 hours, and all projectors are equipped with a “Longer Duration Mode3” which is capable of achieving up to 40,0002 hours of operation. Additional features include 360-degree installation on any axis, fast boot-up time of approximately two seconds, wide colour gamut and HDR compatibility for reproducing content with outstanding high contrast.
REALiS WUX6700 Lamp LCOS Projector
The WUX6700 (6700 lumens) utilizes a traditional lamp light source and achieves superb quietness at only 27 dB4, suitable for installation environments that demand minimal noise such as schools, hospitals and art galleries.
RS-SL06UW, RS-SL03WF, RS-SL05WZ, RS-SL01ST, RS-SL02LZ and RS-SL04UL Interchangeable Lenses
Equipped with a simple, one-touch spigot mounting system, these projectors can utilize the six new Genuine Canon lenses, which all exhibit low distortion and offer flexible lens shift that helps support multi-stacking, blending and a variety of other advanced applications. These lenses have also been designed to help minimize brightness loss, thus eliminating the need to over-specify projector brightness to compensate for wide or long throw lenses, which can sometimes experience significant drops in brightness.
