Canon
introduces 1400x1050 LCOS Front Projector 

Be prepared to be dazzled by the world's
brightest, most portable, most affordable SXGA+ projector. Canon
has built its exclusive AISYS optical engine into the heart of the
Realis SX50 projector. With this patented technology, the SX50
delivers sharp, bright, brilliant images. With a long list of
features and accessories, the SX50 delivers those images with
flexibility, versatility and effortless operation.
Key Features:
The
Image Sharpness of SXGA+
Razor-sharp
images are yours with Canon's new Realis SX50 projector. Going
beyond XGA and SXGA, the SX50's SXGA+ gives you the stunning
crispness of 1400 x 1050 lines of resolution - letting you keep
pace with the increasing resolution of your notebook computer
display.
Not
only that, but the SX50 lets you display true 16:9 high definition
broadcast images, as well as Compressed UXGA.
The
Image Sharpness And Brightness of LCOS Technology
With
Canon's first LCOS projector, you get all the brilliance and image
sharpness of LCOS technology, but in a portable and affordable
projector unlike any other on the market.
LCOS - or
Liquid Crystal On Silicon - has taken projectors to a whole new
level. This new technology means higher resolution images,
seamless images with no flickering or "screen door"
effect, quick image response for better looking moving images, and
better display of text.
Only Canon
realizes the full potential of LCOS technology by combining it
with our proprietary AISYS Engine, our patented optical light
engine for achieving brightness and high contrast using LCOS
panels. It is this combination that makes the Realis SX50 a
projector like no other.
AISYS
- The Heart Of The SX50
Behind
the crisp, bright images of the Realis SX50 is the heart of the
projector: Canon's exclusive AISYS technology. While other
projectors come with LCOS technology, only Canon combines LCOS
with its innovative, breakthrough AISYS illumination technology.
Only AISYS achieves the right balance of contrast, brightness and
compact size to maximize the performance of LCOS. The result is an
exceptionally bright, sharp image from an affordable, portable
SXGA+ projector.
More
Brilliance
When
you have to project over large distances or in a bright setting,
the SX50 has the power you need. Not only does it feature the
bright performance of LCOS and AISYS technology, it's also packing
an impressive 2500 ANSI lumens.
The
Canon Optical Quality And Versatility You'd Expect
Project
a positive image with Genuine Canon Optics. As with every camera
or projector that Canon makes, the Realis SX50 comes with optics
of unparalleled excellence that give you a bright, crisp, clear
image with no flare or distortion.
The 1.7x
Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens also lets you project in a variety of
settings. It gives you a 40" screen from a very short 3.9',
all the way to a 100" screen from 9.8'. And if that's not
enough, the Digital Zoom feature gives you an additional zoom
range of .5X to 12X. It's the perfect blend of quality and
versatility.
Turn
Your Screen Into The Big Screen
Make
your next presentation a high definition, widescreen experience.
The HDTV compatible SX50 displays true 16:9 HDTV broadcast images
(720p), giving your audience a truly cinematic experience. Not
only that, the projector's 2:3 Pulldown feature on Progressive
Scan images results in video with the natural look of film.
Brilliance
On A Budget
Thanks
to Canon's proprietary AISYS technology, the portable Realis SX50
produces brilliant SXGA+ images at an affordable price.
A
Mode for Any Image
Whether
you're projecting a detailed technical presentation, images from
your digital camera, or your favorite movie, the Realis SX50 gives
you the best picture possible.
You can select
between four image modes, each one designed for a different type
of projection:
-
Standard
mode gives you images closely resembling the original, with
an emphasis on white areas
-
Presentation
mode increases contrast between bright and dark areas,
making it easier to see detailed diagrams and text
-
sRGB mode is
optimized for sRGB images, which includes those produced by
many digital cameras
-
Cinema mode
emphasizes gradation to produce realistic depth and
dimension - the best way to watch your favorite movie
or home video
You can also
create custom settings by adjusting 7 different aspects -
brightness, contrast, sharpness, gamma, and more - for each
of the four image modes. That means 27 different custom image
modes, and that means a perfect picture, no matter what you're
viewing.
Complete
Color Control
Your
projection screen is your canvas with the SX50's unparalleled
color control. An easy-to-use Graphical User Interface lets you
adjust your palette of colors to paint the picture you want for
your audience.
With
Memory/Vivid Color Correction, you can adjust the degree of
vividness of each of the primary colors (red, green, blue) and
each of the secondary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow). Choose
between low, medium and high to project the image the way you
remember it.
What's more,
the projector's 6 Axes Color Adjustment lets you fine-tune the hue
and saturation of each of the primary and secondary colors. This
high degree of control makes each projected image a masterpiece.
It
Goes Where You Go
With
Canon's Realis SX50, you get an SXGA+ projector, minus the weight
and size. All that brilliance and sharpness comes in a compact
package 11.26" x 11.18" x 3.78" (286 x 284 x 96 mm)
that's easy to carry and set up. And, at 8.6lbs (3.9kg), it's the
lightest SXGA+ projector on the market.
It
Looks As Good As What's On The Screen
With
its rounded corners, clean lines and uncluttered look, the Realis
SX50 will get as many compliments as what is on the screen.
