New compact installation projectors from Canon

Canon Middle East, a world leader in imaging solutions, is launching a new range of compact installation projectors that provide market-leading image quality and represent a new category of projector solutions.
The new series will enable system integrators to provide customers with outstanding image quality from a compact projector, while retaining the features and performance normally only found on full-size installation models.
The new series consists of two standard (the XEED WUX450 and XEED WX520) and two short-throw models (the XEED WUX400ST and XEED WX450ST).
The XEED WUX450 and XEED WX520 both have a 1.8x zoom projection lens that delivers virtually the same brightness throughout the entire zoom range. T he all-new projection lens has a constant aperture of F2.8, resulting in almost no loss of brightness at the telephoto end of the zoom range (maximum 5 percent drop).
This outstanding performance is a direct result of Canon’s expertise in lens design, coupled with the fifth-generation AISYS optical system, which maximizes the performance of the LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) panels.
LCOS technology produces “fine, detailed images without the lattice effect sometimes seen on other projectors.”
Hendrik Verbrugghe, marketing director, Canon Middle East, said: “Within the segment, nothing comes close to the quality and brightness offered by the new XEED Compact Installation series. Our partners can now offer a compact projector with comparable features and performance to larger installation models, allowing greater flexibility when meeting the needs of customers.”
