5000 Lumens, WUXGA Resolution, LCOS Technology,
HDBaseT™, and an Advanced Optical System make this new model ideal
for a Wide Range of Markets and Applications
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions,
announced today the introduction of the newest projector in their
Pro AV Compact Installation LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) line
that combines WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200), 5000 lumens of
brightness and up to a 2000:1 contrast ratio, built-in HDBaseT™ (a
first for Canon projectors), an advanced lens and optical system,
and Canon’s renowned LCOS technology to help deliver stunning image
quality and user flexibility. Weighing a trim 13 lbs., the Canon
REALiS WUX500 Pro AV Compact Installation LCOS Projector is a
high-performance projector that incorporates sophisticated
operational advantages designed for a range of markets including
higher education, corporate, simulation and training, museums and
galleries, houses of worship, digital signage, and other
professional markets.
Incorporating Canon's expertise in optical and imaging
technology the new REALiS WUX500 features a number of new advances
and inherits many key features from the existing line, most notably
Canon’s proprietary LCOS Technology with AISYS-enhancement which
delivers virtually seamless images with outstanding color
reproduction, a powerful image processing engine that helps ensure
superb image quality and also provides an array of advanced
functions (Built-in Edge Blending, Picture by Picture, 24p Support,
etc.), an advanced built-in Genuine Canon projection lens and
optical system that allows the projector to maintain virtually the
same amount of brightness at different throw distances (Constant
F-Stop), and 0-60 percent vertical lens shift for enhanced
installation flexibility.
"Canon's new REALiS WUX500 takes many of the impressive features
and benefits of our REALiS Pro AV Compact Installation Projector
line and adds some important new ones," said Yuichi Ishizuka,
president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The unique flexibility
offered by the WUX500 and our entire Pro AV Compact Installation
LCOS Projectors addresses the requirements of many professional
markets, where Canon continues to demonstrate its commitment to
these users by developing and integrating the latest technologies
to provide amazing user benefits, convenience, and
affordability."
REALiS WUX500 D
For those in the medical education and training fields, a
separate model, the REALiS WUX500 D1 Pro AV Installation LCOS
Projector is available with all of the same features plus a special
DICOM® Simulation Mode for displaying monochrome digital X-rays,
CAT scans, and MRIs with superb grayscale gradation. This unique
mode, which offers both clear and blue base color temperature
presets, simulates the results of devices compliant with the
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14
standard1. This mode can also be utilized in other specialized
applications like black and white photography where an expanded
range of gamma adjustment is required.
New Features
Among the new features and benefits of the Canon REALiS WUX500,
some of the most notable are HDBaseT™, Network Multi Projection
over Wi-Fi, and PC-Free Multi Projection.
The REALiS WUX500 is equipped with a built-in HDBaseT™ receiver
allowing HD video, audio and serial control signals to be
transmitted over one single Ethernet cable2 with a maximum distance
of 328 feet (100m). This helps reduce complex wiring schemes used
for a typical setup as well as maximizing long cable runs with
minimal image quality degradation.
Network Multi Projection (NMPJ) is a function that projects
video data from computers via a network, and it offers a range of
applications from a simple point-to-point direct connection, to
connecting multiple projectors to a single or multiple computers.
The Canon REALiS WUX500 is equipped with Wi-Fi® capability, which
utilizes two modes of connection: the Projector Access Point mode
allows users to directly connect up to five computers wirelessly,
while the Infrastructure mode allows the WUX500 projector to
connect to an existing network wirelessly thus allowing computers
on the network (wirelessly or wired) to connect and start
projecting.
The REALiS WUX500 also offers a PC-Free Projection function that
allows a user to seamlessly project large JPEG images (up to
10912×8640) via the USB port, without the use of a computer. In
addition, animated effects can be added when switching through the
images (Crossfade and Crossfade via Black), and a Thumbnail Display
function gives the user the ability to view all images at one time
in a thumbnail preview display.
This model also offers a PC-Free Multi Projection function that
allows for up to nine REALiS WUX500 projectors to be networked
together to project one large seamless JPEG image without the use
of a computer.
Additional Key Features
In addition to LCOS Technology, consistent brightness and
vertical lens shift, the WUX500 projector is engineered with many
other advanced features and functions, including built-in Edge
Blending, 4-Point Keystone Correction, Picture by Picture, and
Versatile Connectivity and Network Management.
The projector’s built-in Edge Blending function allows users to
combine the displays of multiple projectors to create one seamless,
extra-large image. The 4-Point Keystone Correction provides the
ability to independently adjust all four corners of an image when
facing challenging installation environments. For added convenience
the 4-Point Keystone Correction has now been added to the Edge
Blending function, helping to reduce the adjustment time
needed.
The REALiS WUX500 projector’s Picture by Picture function
enables two high-quality images to be projected from a combination
of two inputs (DVI, HDMI®, VGA, and HDBaseT™) simultaneously on a
single projector. With the REALiS WUX500 D projector, users can
choose between viewing DICOM SIM monochrome images and sRGB color
images side-by-side to further enhance the learning experience.
The WUX500 projector also offers multiple industry standard
interfaces including HDMI®, DVI-I, USB, RJ-45, and RS-232C. In
addition, this model supports PJLink™, which makes it possible to
control and monitor the projector over the network. This feature is
excellent for observing lamp hours, usage and much more. For even
more control, the REALiS WUX500 is compatible with Crestron
Connectivity and AMX Device Discovery.
Price and Availability
The new Canon REALiS WUX500 and REALiS WUX500 D projectors will
have suggested list prices of $4,899* and $5,499*, respectively,
and is expected to be available through authorized Canon dealers
and distributors in mid- June 2015. Both models are also backed by
both Canon’s Three-Year Limited Warranty and Projector Protection
Program (“Triple P”).
