Brilliant optical performance with constant brightness
Employing Canon’s expertise in
optical design and advanced imaging technologies, the XEED 4K500ST delivers
outstanding resolution and image quality. Featuring a high-definition 4,096 x
2,400 LCOS panel, users can expect projections exceeding the resolution of 4K
digital cinema[2]. With Canon’s proprietary Aspectual
Illumination System (AISYS) optical system, the projector is equipped with an
increased contrast ratio, delivering vivid colours and true reproduction of
black areas to further enhance the viewing experience. The XEED 4K500ST is able
to project fine and detailed images with striking definition, thereby it is ideal
for engineering applications where Computer-Aided Design (CAD) work and 3D
modelling require high levels of detail.

Featuring 5,000 lumens for constant
brightness across the zoom range, the projector is suitable for outdoor display
applications with high levels of ambient light. With the new 4K wide zoom lens,
the XEED 4K500ST is able to project a large image of up to 600 inches from a minimum
distance of 13.6m x 17.7m. It is also equipped with a peripheral focusing
function that enables imaging projection onto curved screens.

One of its kind, the XEED 4K500ST features
a lens with a constant aperture of F2.6 across the zoom range regardless of its
zoom position. As such, this allows for easy installation and repositioning
without having to adjust the ambient light[3].

Improved design with extended lamp life
Weighing just 17.6kg, the XEED
4K500ST is the world’s lightest 4K projector in its class. With its compact design,
the XEED 4K500ST is able to fit unobtrusively into a variety of installed
environments, making 4K projection a reality beyond the cinema theatre.

The XEED 4K500ST has the lowest latency
time (16.6ms) for any 4K projector, offering the quickest response time which
is perfect for simulation environments. It also incorporates a new
ultra-modular design with the lamp and filter easily accessible for servicing, even
whilst the projector is installed.

Beyond offering superior output and
an impeccable design, the XEED 4K500ST maintains Canon’s reputation for
efficient power consumption. In Eco mode, the lamp uses just 470W and lasts up
to 4,000 hours before a replacement is required. This substantially lowers the
running cost of the XEED 4K500ST, making it an attractive choice for a wide
range of installations.

Achieve beautifully blended images with multiple projectors
With Canon’s high definition edge
blending technology, multiple XEED 4K500ST projectors can be combined to
provide large, seamlessly blended images with minimal distortion. Four-corner
keystone correction for edge blending makes the set-up process simple and
achievable, especially for large-scale short throw art installations that
involves projections.
