Canon Realis WX450ST
Canon U.S.A., Inc., unveils the latest of its innovative technology with the debut of the Realis 4K600STZ Pro AV Laser LCOS Projector. At 57.3 pounds, the Realis 4K600STZ is among the smallest and lightest native 4K laser projectors, designed for many applications including simulation, museums, art galleries, planetariums, higher education, medical education and training.
The Realis 4K600STZ projector's core technologies and features include:
*Native 4K Resolution of 4096 x 2400 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 to 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 LCOS Technology with AISYS-enhancement and advanced Color Management System for producing detail and color accuracy – for applications like museums and galleries with the highest image quality requirements.
*Genuine Canon 4K Lens 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,” says 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,” according to the company press relase. 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 is designed 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 Professional Service & Support.
