The REALiS WUX450ST projector's impressive combination of features allow it to stand apart from most other short throw projectors on the market today - and makes it ideal for a wide range of markets and applications including higher education, museums and galleries, corporate, simulation and training, and digital signage.
REALiS WUX450ST D Projector
For those in the medical education and training fields, the REALiS WUX450ST D Pro AV Installation LCOS Projector is available with all of the same features of the REALiS WUX450ST, plus a special DICOM® Simulation Mode for displaying monochrome digital X-rays, CAT scans, and MRIs with superb grayscale gradation(2). This unique 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 standard. This mode can also be utilized in other specialized applications like black and white photography where an expanded range of gamma adjustment is required.
"Canon's REALiS WUX450ST and WUX450ST D projectors are examples of our commitment to designing and engineering professional products with outstanding features and performance," explains Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "By continuing to enhance our line of REALiS Pro AV LCOS Projectors, and backing them with our world-class service and support, we demonstrate to our customers our highest level of commitment."
Amazing Image Quality
As the newest member of the REALiS family, the WUX450ST projector delivers amazing image quality thanks to its WUXGA high resolution and a combination of core advanced optical and image processing technologies:
-- Genuine Canon Lens - utilizes a combination of dual-sided aspherical and
Ultra Low Dispersion (UD) lens elements, as well as a wide F2.7
aperture, to produce sharp and clear images, even when projecting on
curved surfaces.
-- Canon's LCOS Technology with AISYS-enhancement - LCOS is an advanced
hybrid technology renowned for delivering virtually seamless images and
low-latency playback for improved display of video content. The patented
AISYS (Aspectual Illumination System) Optical Engine also helps ensure
the projector delivers an ideal combination of both brightness (up to
4500 Lumens) and contrast ratio (up to 2000:1).
-- Advanced Color Management - a cornerstone of Canon products, the REALiS
WUX450ST projector's sophisticated system delivers highly accurate color
reproduction.
In addition, the REALiS WUX450ST projector also offers a group of advanced optional image adjustments, most notably:
-- Dynamic Gamma: - analyzes individual areas of an image for specific,
independent contrast adjustment so light and dark areas do not appear
over or under exposed.
-- Memory Color Correction - enhances skin tones and other color features
for rich, vivid results that look striking to the human eye.
-- 6-Axis Color Adjust: - allows fine-tuning of the hue and saturation of
each of the primary and secondary colors - ideal for those users with
the most exacting imaging requirements.
Ease of Installation
In addition to the projector's small form factor, 0.56:1 short throw ratio, impressive 0-75 percent vertical lens shift, and HDBaseTä compatibility, the WUX450ST projector features a variety of other advanced optional settings to further maximize installation versatility, including:
-- 4-Point Keystone Correction - allows the corners of the image to be
independently adjusted to help facilitate optimal image reproduction.
-- Built-in Edge Blending - enables the projection of one seamless, large
image from multiple projectors without the need of special software.
-- 360-degree Vertical Installation - allows the projector to be positioned
anywhere on the vertical axis(3). Fan speed can also be adjusted to help
optimize results (depending on projector positioning).
Versatile Connectivity and Network Management
The REALiS WUX450ST projector offers multiple industry-standard interfaces including HDMI®, DVI-I, USB, RS-232C, and RJ-45 network port which supports gigabit data transfer speeds. In addition, it also supports Wi-Fi® connectivity which can be used to enhance the WUX450ST projector's Network Multi Projection (NMPJ) functionality which allows a projector(s) to receive display information from a PC(s) through a network.
This model is a Crestron Connected device, compatible with AMX Device Discovery, and also supports PJLink(TM) which makes it possible to control and monitor the projector over the network - a feature excellent for observing lamp hours, usage and more.
Pricing, Availability and Warranty
The Canon REALiS WUX450ST projector has a suggested list price of $7,329*. The Canon REALiS WUX450ST D projector has a suggested list price of $7,959* and both are currently scheduled to be available through authorized Canon dealers by April 2016.
