Canon displayed five projectors at InfoComm 2019, ranging from WXGA resolution to 4K. Art took a stroll through the Canon booth while he was at the convention in Orlando, Florida, back in June. The five projectors featured in this video are the LX-MU500Z, LX-MU502Z, WUX7500, WUX7000Z, and the 4K6020Z. Before we dive into that video, let’s take a quick look at each of these projectors and what they have to offer.
The $2,999 Canon LX-MU500Z is a 5,000 lumen DLP projector with a laser light engine. The projector features excellent placement flexibility thanks to a 1.60:1 zoom lens with manual lens shift – that’s +50% vertical, +23% horizontal – and HDBaseT. This projector has an excellent warranty! 5 years parts and labor, including the Advanced Warranty Service Exchange Program and Service Loaner Program.
The Canon LX-MH502Z is a $5,390 laser projector with 4K UHD resolution (3840x2160). Also 5,000 lumens, this projector can produce an image of up to 300 inches! The LX-MH502Z, too, has excellent placement flexibility. It has a 1.60:1 zoom lens with manual lens shift, this time +60% vertical, +23% horizontal, and HDBaseT. In addition to all this, the projector has 360° positioning. The LX-MH502Z has the same awesome warranty as the LX-MU500Z.
The Canon REALiS WUX7500 is a lamp based projector with LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology, and an MSRP of $8,749 ($5,150 street). This particular projector boasts 7,500 lumens and WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution. It’s another projector that has excellent placement flexibility – more so than the previous two – in that this WUX7500 has six interchangeable lens options, including an ultra short throw lens with generous lens shift (+15%, -75% vertical, +30% horizontal), and HDBaseT. It also has WiFi.
The Canon REALiS WUX7000Z has WUXGA (1920x1200) and a laser light engine, and LCOS technology (all higher-end Canon projectors have this technology). It has an MSRP of $10,199 ($8,549 street price), 7,000 lumens, and the same six interchangeable lenses available to the lower-cost WUX7500. The projector features HDBaseT, wireless capabilities, DICOM SIM., Edge Blending, Geometric Correction, HDR, and Crestron RoomView. The WUX7000Z has 360° positioning, allowing the projector to be installed in portrait mode, which is great for digital signage.
With the Canon REALiS 4K6020Z, we see a huge jump in price. This laser based LCOS projector has true 4K resolution (4096x2160) and 6,000 lumens, for a whopping $47,999. It’s a projector for commercial applications, and has seven interchangeable lenses for excellent placement flexibility.
