Canon Realis SX60 Multimedia Projector Overview
Around the world, Canon products are synonymous with optical excellence, advanced image processing, and superb performance. And Canon projectors are no exception.
The family of Canon projectors includes the REALiS line of bright, high resolution, ultra-portable and affordable projectors. REALiS projectors combine the brilliance and sharpness of innovative LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) technology with Canon's proprietary AISYS light engine technology. The result is a unique set of advanced projectors that deliver exceptional image quality.
The SX60 features new, advanced AISYS technology - with improved light efficiency, uniformity, and expanded color space. At 2500 ANSI lumens, it is one of Canon's bright, ultra-portable, SXGA+ projectors. With its exceptional level of image quality, it is ideal for demanding professional applications and discerning home cinema buffs. Its 1.7x Ultra-Wide Powered Zoom Lens with Autofocus gives you the flexibility of the widest zoom range of any of Canon's projector lenses. Its super quiet (27dB) operation makes it great for the classroom and home cinema. And, its DVI-I terminal lets you project high quality video from satellite and digital cable boxes, as well as DVD players.
Realistic Image Quality
With Canon LCOS projectors, you get all the brilliance and image sharpness of innovative LCOS technology, but in an ultra-portable and affordable projector unlike any others 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, smooth rendition of fine lines, seamless photo reproduction, sharp display of small text, and crisp blacks.
But only Canon realizes the full potential of LCOS technology by combining it with our proprietary and improved AISYS Engine, our patented optical light engine for achieving brightness and high contrast using LCOS panels. AISYS has three components: the illumination system; the color separation and combination system; and the LCOS panels. Only Canon's innovative, breakthrough AISYS technology achieves the right balance of contrast, brightness and compact size to maximize the performance of LCOS. Plus, our new advanced AISYS optical engine features new optical elements, redesigned polarizing beam splitters, and a reconfigured optical layout. The result is improved light efficiency, uniformity and expanded color space.
The Sharpness You Expect
Razor-sharp images are yours with Canon's new REALiS SX60 projector. The SX60's SXGA+ resolution gives you the crispness of 1400x1050 lines of resolution. Plus, it lets you display 720P High Definition movies natively without compression. It even supports UXGA (compressed), along with WXGA (1366x768) which is used in today's wide screen laptops.
Canon Optical Performance
Project a positive image with Genuine Canon Optics. As with every camera or projector that Canon makes, the REALiS SX60 comes with optics of unparalleled excellence that give you a bright, crisp, clear image with no flare or distortion.
The 1.7x Ultra-Wide Powered Zoom Lens has the widest zoom range of any of Canon's projector lenses, giving you a diagonal screen size range of 40" (at a very short projection distance of 3.9') to 300". At a short 9.8' distance, you still get a 100" screen. And if that's not enough, the Digital Zoom feature gives you an additional zoom range of 1.5x to 12x. The REALiS SX60 performs in a wide range of room settings, proving that there's more to portability than projector size.
In addition to this quality and flexibility, the SX60 boasts one of the highest contrast ratios of any Canon Projector -- 1000:1 -- for sharp images and deep, rich colors, even with ambient light. It also gives you 88% image uniformity for an even image from corner-to-corner. What's more, the projector boasts a 2000:1 contrast ratio in Home Cinema Mode. It's perfect for an enhanced home cinema experience when you have control over your lighting environment and can minimize ambient light.
The optical performance of your SX60 doesn't stop there -- because the HDTV compatible SX60 displays true 16:9 HDTV broadcast images (720p), giving your audience a high-definition, widescreen experience. It's a cinematic experience that is further enhanced by the projector's 2:3 Pulldown feature on Progressive Scan images. The result is an image with the natural look of film.
Easy To Use Flexibility
With dimensions of 8.9" W x 13.2" D x 4.5" H (226 x 336 x 114mm) and a weight of only 10.1lbs (4.6kg), the SX60 is an ultra-portable and compact projector that's easy to carry and set up, wherever you need it. And with an array of advanced and well-designed features, it's also extremely easy to use:
Keystone Correction lets you project a perfect image by correcting for keystone distortion of +/- 20 degrees horizontally or vertically. Plus, depending on your requirements, you can use it for rear-projection, or you can mount it on the ceiling with an optional Ceiling Mount Adapter.
The SX60's new Auto Setup feature is quick and accurate. With the touch of a button, it only takes seconds to setup:
In the classroom or office, the projector's Spotlight feature dims your image except for the area you want everyone to pay attention to. That way, you can make sure your audience sees exactly what you want them to see.
All the while, you can be sure your audience isn't distracted by fan noise. In Normal mode, the SX60 runs at 30dB; and in Quiet mode, it runs at 27dB. Plus, you won't be distracted because you can operate your SX60 effortlessly with the help of the Wireless IR Remote Control with illuminated keys, or with a USB mouse.
The SX60 even has features that make it simple to turn off. You never have to wait for the projector to cool down before unplugging it and heading to your next meeting -- the projector's fan continues to operate, powered by an internal charging system. You can also turn the projector off simply by unplugging it -- a convenient feature when the projector is mounted on the ceiling and can't be operated directly. Finally, when you're finished using your SX60, you can use the Pin Code Lock and Function Key Lock to control its use.
You can even operate your projector -- and receive alerts -- through a LAN with the optional Network Adapter.
On top of all that, the SX60 makes your life easier with its 3-year parts and labor warranty and 120-day lamp life warranty.
Versatile Connectivity
All that brilliance and image quality means nothing if you don't have the right inputs. The REALiS SX60 gives you an impressive range of input options including:
Advanced Color Management
Color Modes
With the REALiS SX60, you can select between four Color Modes, each one designed for a different type of projection:
Complete Color Control
Your projection screen is your canvas with the SX60'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.
Plus, the projector's 6-axis (RGBCMY) 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.
