MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today unveiled the latest of its innovative technology
with the debut of the REALiS 4K600STZ Pro AV Laser LCOS Projector.
At only 57.3 pounds, the REALiS 4K600STZ is among the world's
smallest and lightest native 4K laser projectors, making it ideal
for a wide range of markets and applications including simulation,
museums, art galleries, planetariums, higher education, medical
education and training.
The REALiS 4K600STZ projector reproduces exceptionally detailed
images with outstanding color accuracy thanks to a combination of
core technologies and features including:
- Native 4K Resolution of 4096 x 2400 which is larger than
both QFHD and DCI-resolution, the 4K standards for TV and digital
cinema respectively. The expanded vertical resolution (2400) is
particularly important for those applications, like simulation and
training and design/engineering, which may require larger vertical
display areas.
- Laser Phosphor Light Source which offers an extended
operation time up to 20,000 hours or more1, quick
start-up2, omnidirectional projector placement, and a
wide range of colors – all helping to greatly enhance the user
experience, installation process and reduce the total cost of
ownership (TCO).
- 6000 lumens with up to 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast
Ratio3 helps ensure content appears bright with deep
black and brilliant white levels, as well as excellent
gradation.
- Canon's renowned LCOS Technology with AISYS-enhancement and
advanced Color Management System for producing content with
exceptional detail and color accuracy – ideal for those
industries/applications like museums and galleries with the highest
image quality requirements.
- Genuine Canon 4K Lens for consistent clarity and color
throughout entire projected area; the lens also includes a special
Marginal Focus function which can be used to help ensure
content projected on the peripheral portions of domed surfaces
remains in focus – a benefit especially important to those in the
simulation, training and educational fields. The 4K600STZ projector
is also able to deliver a virtually consistent level of brightness
throughout its zoom range, thus helping to provide even greater
placement flexibility.
- Powerful Dual Image Processing Engines for uncompressed
4K 60p playback, and optimal upscaling of 2K video and other
non-native 4K resolution content.
"The impressive benefits of 4K laser projection, combined with
Canon's optical and image processing technologies and compact
engineering define the many advantages of the REALiS 4K600STZ Pro
AV Laser LCOS Projector," said Yuichi
Ishizuka, president and chief operating officer, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "We are confident
this projector's many advanced technologies and features will not
only meet, but exceed the growing needs of AV professionals who
demand exceptional, high-resolution and high-value projectors."
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
The REALiS 4K600STZ is one of
Canon's only HDR compatible projectors which helps provide the
critical ability to replicate content with exceptionally high
contrast, making possible gradation expression close to that of
human vision. Additionally, the projector supports the input of
video content simulating the 4K/8K broadcast-standard ITU-R BT.2020
color gamut.
DICOM® Simulation Mode4
The Canon
REALiS 4K600STZ Projector's DICOM® Simulation Mode4 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 color temperature presets, simulates the results of
devices compliant with the Digital Imaging and Communications in
Medicine (DICOM) Part 14 standard4.
Versatile Connectivity and Network Management
The
Canon REALiS 4K600STZ offers many industry-standard interfaces to
enhance usability including two HDMI (version 2.0a), and four DVI
inputs supporting single, stripe and cross configurations for 4K,
2K or HD video playback. Network management, including
compatibility with PJLink™, Crestron Room View and AMX Device
Discovery, also helps provide outstanding flexibility for
monitoring and control.
Price and Availability
The Canon REALiS
4K600STZ Pro AV LCOS Projector has a suggested list price of
$77,990, is scheduled to be available
through authorized Canon dealers by April
2017, and is backed by the Company's award-winning
