Featuring a high-definition 4,096 x 2,400 LCOS panel, users can expect projections exceeding the resolution of 4K digital cinema.
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.
“Users today demand increasingly better imaging performance and resolution. In response to this growing audience, we are excited to introduce the new XEED 4K500ST projector, our first foray into the 4K installation market,” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore.
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.
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.
“Coupled with its compact and lightweight design, this projector brings 4K imaging experience beyond the traditional theatres by enabling easy installation for a wide variety of scenarios,” added Teoh.
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.
