Canon Launches New REALis Projectors

Tweet

Canon has a bunch of new REALis projectors ready for you. These are the WUX10 Mark II, WUX10 Mark II D, SX80 Mark and SX80 Mark D and we’re going to briefly inspect each one of them for you.

The REALis WUX10 Mark II uses LCOS technology to offer you an impressive WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution. Other features include AISYS technology, 3200 lumens of brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio and HDMI connectivity. The REALis WUX10 Mark II D is basically a slightly upgraded version of the WUX10 Mark II which brings to the table a DICOM Simulation Mode. The new features make this projector a useful tool in medical environments where X-rays, CAT scans and MRIs are frequently used. The machine will let you project these medical images which do require DICOM complaint technology in order to be properly displayed. Both projectors will be available this month for around $12,999.

If the WUX10 Mark II and its medical-oriented brother look way too expensive for yourself or your medical institution then Canon has cheaper solutions waiting to be explored. The REALis SX80 Mark II will offer you a SXGA (1,400 x 1,050) resolution and Canon’s exclusive AISYS technology. Other features include 3000 lumens of brightness, 900:1 contrast ratio, HDMI and USB connectivity. The SX80 Mark II D version is, as you expect, the medical version of the SX80 Mark II which comes with the same DICOM Simulation Mode features we’ve talked about earlier. These projectors will be available this month also but they will only cost you around $3,999.

Just before I ask you which one of these four new projectors you’re more likely to get, I’ll shed some light of one of the common features found in these projectors: LCOS technology with AISYS. What is it exactly? LCOS stands for Liquid Crystal on Silicon and its job is to improve the quality of the image. LCOS will definitely offer your better images no matter if you’re using your projector for watching videos, browsing through pictures or reading stuff off the Internet. The AISYS engine is a Canon exclusive feature. AISYS stands for Aspectual Illumination System and its job is to enhance the brightness and the contrast of a LCOS projector in order for it to offer high-performance images at all times.

So which projector are you thinking about buying?
