XEED WUX5000 MEDICAL PROJ WITHOUT LENS
Canon’s XEED WUX5000 model redefines image quality for installation projectors. With WUXGA and Full HD resolutions, 5000 lumens brightness and three interchangeable lenses, it’s a superb high-end AV performer. PJLink compatibility ensures it complies with industry standards for control and monitoring, while the clever design makes maintenance easy to perform.
Who is it for?
For anyone looking for a top quality installation projector for business or high-end AV use, the Canon WUX5000 offers WUXGA resolution, Full HD support, and two fully motorised interchangeable lenses (with motorised zoom, motorised focus and motorised lens shift). A third 'Short Fixed Lens' has motorised lens shift only.
WUXGA resolution
The XEED WUX5000 is the flagship model in the Canon XEED projector range and raises the quality bar for installation projectors. Projecting at WUXGA resolution (1920x1200 pixels) it delivers images from PC or Macintosh with exceptional clarity and reproduces Full HD video in perfect detail.
LCOS technology
Canon’s Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) technology delivers stunning image quality, which overcomes the typical side effects of conventional image projection that causes unwanted ‘lattice’ or ‘rainbow’ effects. Using the latest generation of Canon’s Aspectual Illumination System (AISYS) optical system and delivering a powerful 5000 lumens of true ‘colour brightness’, displays are bright and clear even in high ambient light levels.
Exceptional performance
The XEED WUX5000 employs the latest generation of Canon’s AISYS optical system, delivering a powerful 5000 lumens for all content, irrespective of colour. AISYS optimises the performance of the LCOS panels, for results that achieve ‘real’ colour brightness. A high 1000:1 contrast ratio ensures vivid colours and excellent black levels. Delta-E colour matching is exceptional and very close to professionally calibrated devices.
Canon interchangeable lenses
Following the WUX4000 the WUX5000 is the second model in Canon’s XEED projector range to offer a choice of high-quality interchangeable lenses. The standard 1.5x zoom lens is ideal for most installations, while a 1.7x long-focus zoom lens is available for larger venues. The ultra-wide fixed lens is perfect for rear projection. Canon’s high-quality lenses have been designed specifically to maximise brightness with exceptional image definition and geometry.
Advanced installation features
For easy operation the motorised zoom, focus and lens shift features can be altered by the remote control to an accuracy of half a pixel. The XEED WUX5000 has the perfect control necessary for single or multiple projector installs, such as 3D, stacking, blended systems and domes.
Flexible integration and versatile connectivity
Both DVI-D and HDMI ports connect the XEED WUX5000 with high-definition digital sources. There's also a 15-pin VGA terminal and three mini-jacks for audio connectivity. Serial and network ports enable control and monitoring, while PJLink compatibility is ideal for integrating an AV system.
Easy maintenance
Installation projectors need to be easy to service – the WUX5000 has a modular design making it simple to service in-situ so maintenance has never been quicker or easier. The high-efficiency lamp has a lifespan of up to 3000 hours (in Quiet Mode) and is easily accessed from the rear of the projector. The air filter simply slides out from the side. Quick access is also provided to key optical components so there's no need for complex dismantling.
LCOS panel technology
Canon’s XEED projectors use LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) panels to provide smooth images with fantastic colour gradation. By using LCOS technology, images display no lattice or rainbow effects that are common with projectors using LCD or DLP technologies.
There are three LCOS panels in the projector, one for each of the primary colours – red, green and blue. Each panel features a layer of liquid crystal pixels in front of a reflective mirror base. Behind this, the circuitry is placed. This special, reflective type of LCD panel provides the best features of competing technologies, with none of the drawbacks.
Aspectual Illumination System (AISYS)
- Historically, LCOS projectors have had two problems – low brightness and low contrast. The Aspectual Illumination System (AISYS) technology found in XEED projectors solves this.
- By using an advanced optical array light leakage is reduced to a minimum, thereby increasing the brightness. The use of precision, high quality optics enhances the contrast.
- The combination of AISYS optical technology and LCOS display panels ensures bright, high contrast images with vibrant, accurate colours.
Canon lens technology
Setting up a projector can take some time to get right. However, the Standard Zoom Lens provides flexible placement options and provides a throw range from 1.3m to 29m to give large, bright, images. The XEED WUX5000 has the additional lens choices of a Long Zoom Lens (with a range of 1.9 to 48.5 metres) and an ultra-wide lens (known as a ‘Short Fixed Lens’) provides high-quality rear-projection capability at short throw distances from 0.7 to 5.2 metres. Whichever lens is chosen, Canon’s lens technology ensures there is no sacrifice in image geometry or sharpness.
With 70 years of lens design and innovation, the lenses used in the XEED range benefit from developments in optical technology first seen in Canon’s EF range of photographic lenses, including Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens elements and Super Spectra lens coatings. These technologies help eliminate flare and ghosting and provide sharp, high-contrast images with greatly reduced chromatic aberration.
Image modes
The XEED WUX5000 features a variety of image modes including Standard, Presentation, Dynamic, Vivid Photo, Photo/sRGB, Video, Cinema and Custom (with five presets). For more precise control, image display colours can be adjusted using 6-Axis Colour Adjustment.
3D LookUp Table
The XEED WUX4000 heralded the arrival of a new 3D LookUp Table (LUT). The WUX5000 also includes the 3D LUT function that offers a dramatically increased number of setting points, enabling the projector to deliver more precise colour reproduction and richer colour gradations.
