Canon announces XEED projector Compact - Tom's Hardware Guide

Into Canon XEED Compact Installation is a new series of projectors designed to allow system integrators to provide customers with a solution with a high picture quality in a compact body, without having to give up the features and performance that you would normally obtained with models of dimensions and footprint further.

Into The new Canon XEED range Compact Installation consists of two standard models (XEED and WUX450 XEED WX520) and two short throw models (XEED and WUX400ST XEED WX450ST).

The two standard models feature both a zoom 1.8 x that has the same brightness over the entire zoom range and with a lens that has an aperture of constant f / 2.8, so as to ensure that there is loss of brightness at maximum focal length.

E ‘performance, says Canon, which is the direct result of careful design AISYS optical system in conjunction with the fifth generation, which optimizes the performance of LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) . LCOS technology, in fact, produces excellent quality images and detailed without the lattice effect sometimes visible indeterminate projectors.

Into The two models short throw XEED XEED and WUX400ST WX450ST, based on the same hardware design and WUX450 XEED XEED WX520, instead equip a new projection lens for short distances, which highlights Canon, allows system integrators to configure solutions with virtually no distortion (typically 0.01%) and a throw ratio of less than 0,6:1.

Into other words, an image 100 “can be projected from just 1.2 meters, about one-third of the projection distance required by conventional projectors.

Into With the new Canon has realized even further its commitment to a policy of eco-friendly energy costs and inserted in the solutions a dedicated ECO button that allows you to optimize energy consumption.

Into The consumption are optimized via the Canon AISYS optical system of the fifth generation high efficiency, and the new projection lens. All this has resulted, according to the ratings, a power consumption of 0,081 watts per lumen for WUX450 and 0,068 lumens per watt for WX520. Standby consumption falls instead to a 1W per device.

Into Extensive connection possibilities. DVI and HDMI inputs are available in all models, with a picture-by-picture function that allows the simultaneous display of two video sources for maximum flexibility.

Into The new series of XEED projectors Installation Compact, including the variants “medical” (with DICOM simulation), will be on sale in the second half of 2013.
