performance and high image quality with Canon’s flagship XEED WUX6500 projector

New
flagship Canon XEED WUX6500 projector delivers high resolution & brightness
projection

SINGAPORE, 12 April 2017 – Canon today launched
the XEED WUX6500, the new flagship projector which offers versatile
installation options and high luminosity in image projection. The new XEED
WUX6500 comes with HDBaseT™ -compatible LAN connection, which allows the XEED
WUX6500 to receive uncompressed video/audio/control signal from HDBaseT™
transmitters on a single LAN cable up to 100m, thus reducing the need for
complex wiring. It also features an improved LCOS panel and AYSIS 4.1 optical
system for greater brightness, durability and eco-performance.

“Built to exceed the growing and varied
expectations of our diverse customer base, the XEED WUX6500 offers a range of
benefits and eco performance for an install model projector through Canon’s
optical processing technologies”, said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore
Operations, Canon Singapore. “With the option of using interchangeable lenses,
the XEED WUX6500 also offers versatility in applications and impressive
durability.”

Outstanding
performance with energy saving feature

The XEED WUX6500 offers an impressive 6,500
lumens brightness and industry-leading “Eco” performance with its advanced LCOS
panel by minimising light wastage through diffraction. This enables the XEED
WUX6500 to achieve a power consumption efficiency of about 0.077 W/lm – nearly
half of what is regularly consumed by other similar models. Given its
efficiency and energy-saving design, the XEED WUX6500 easily passes the
requirements of the new ErP lot 3 (Energy related Product lot 3) eco design
standard.

Additionally, the LCOS panel of the XEED
WUX6500 can withstand up to 100 hours of continuous projection without
“burn-in”, a phenomenon that results in a bright image being ‘ghosted in’ over
dark patterns. With the long lasting and easily replaceable air filters,
together with a lamp life of up to 4000 hours (Eco mode), users can enjoy a
hassle-free experience paired with a low running cost of ownership.

Ease
and flexibility of Installation

The new XEED WUX6500 supports the HDBaseT™
standard, which allows video and audio signals to be sent over to a projector
via a LAN cable from up to 100m away. This facilitates cost reduction as the
HDBaseT™ dispenses with signal compensators and just requires cables, which are
inexpensive. With the elimination of complex wiring, the constrains on the
installation environment is significantly reduced.

The XEED WUX6500 is also capable of stack
projection, which is a method of installation by which two (or more) projectors
are stacked, resulting in projected images being superimposed on one screen.
This in turn encourages an effective use of space and increased brightness
without incurring additional cost.

Furthermore, the 360-degree installation allows
for a variety of projection at any desired angle, whether upwards, downwards or
even in a slanted direction. This allows for a flexible use of space that adds
greater value and convenience to shows, events and in amusement facilities
alike. With the motorised lens shift, image positioning can be conducted
without tilting or repositioning the projector which warrants great projection
from almost any position. Together with the 4-corner keystone correction
function, the XEED WUX6500 ensures that images stay perfectly geometrical. 

Versatility
of Interchangeable lenses

For added flexibility, users may deploy from
a choice of five different Canon lenses, ranging from a short fixed lens to an
ultra-long zoom lens on the XEED WUX6500. Between these five easily-changeable
lenses, the XEED WUX6500 is suitable for venues from small conference rooms to large
spaces such as auditoriums, promising sharp image resolution and minimal
brightness loss.

In addition, Canon’s exclusive high quality
lens offers optical performance which incorporates aspherical properties that
help to reduce distortion of the projected image.
