The Canon 4K500st has a compact AISYS optical system that provides both brightness and contrast, an original high-performance image processor that achieves enhanced color reproduction.
A high-definition projection lens that is a compilation of optical design technologies for unleashing the full potential of 4K resolution, and a 4K LCOS panel that can project smooth high-quality images were integrated to realize the 4K500st a 5000 lumen high-luminance 4K model with industry leading compactness and lightweight.
Two high-performance image processors
The Canon 4K500st uses two proprietary image processors to support 4K image processing. They provide various functions as well as reproduce high-quality, true-to-life 4K images.
Newly developed 4K wide zoom lens
In addition to supporting 4K high definition, the 4K500st projection lens is designed with a throw ratio between 1.0 and 1.3, which is wider than typical standard projection lenses. This feature can meet customer needs in the simulation market and the like.
Further, the lens is designed so that the f-number is F2.6 over the entire zoom region. As such, the variation in brightness due to zoom control is suppressed to minimum
0.76 inch 4K-LCOS panel (4096×2400 pixels), three LCOS panel projector
Three world’s smallest class 4K-LCOS panels are integrated for high-speed and high-resolution control. High quality images that fully reflect the smooth LCOS characteristics are produced.
High-definition edge blending technologies
Contains technologies that make edge blending projection, a way of connecting multiple images, more beautiful.
- Low distortion projection lens with no more than 0.12% TV distortion.
- Sub pixel correction that electrically corrects color displacement in unit of 0.1 pixels in a specific area of the screen.
Curved surface projection technologies
Iincludes warping software for projecting images beautifully onto a dome-shaped screen and the like.
- Supports curved surface screens with a periphery focus adjustment function that corrects the curvature of the image field and an optical correction function that is separate from the general focus drive.
- Ensures field of depth with a large f-number (F2.6) projection lens and provides beautiful projection onto a curved surface as the f-number can be increased with the variable aperture arranged inside the illumination optical system.
Optimal movie performance for simulation applications
In order to accommodate simulation applications, this product includes technologies for producing 4K movies in real time with low level of motion blurring.
- Low-delay playback that suppresses the delay from input to display to about 1.0 frame (at 60 Hz)
- Employs a new system for movie visibility improvement (MB reduction) to display smoother movies than before.
HDMI input x 2, DVI input x 4
With two HDMI connectors and four DVI connectors for receiving 4K contents. 4K image input is made possible by using multiple input connectors. In addition, it supports dual link DVI input and is able to receive and display image signals with large amount of information that could not be possible previously with single link support
Edge Blending
Blend the overlapping edges of images from multiple projectors to make the overall image more seamless
