Canon LX-MU500Z WUXGA Laser DLP Projector, 1920x1200, 5000 Lumen, White

The LX-MU500Z projector unites the long-lasting benefits of laser projection with 5000 lumens of brightness and native WUXGA (1920 x 1200) resolution for image quality that will keep your audiences focused and engaged. Convenient and practical as well as high-performing, the projector is well-suited to a variety of fields. Students will see the difference in classrooms or lecture halls, corporate users will appreciate the sharpness in conference halls or meeting rooms and digital signage will come to life with dynamic digital content.

Laser Projection for Simplified Maintenance
Dependable and durable, the laser light source offers a long projection life of up to 20,000 hours. Because there are no lamps or filters to replace, you can expect the LX-MU500Z to run continuously and virtually maintenance-free. To put that in perspective, if the projector ran for 8 hours every day it would keep going for 2500 days or 7 years, representing a much lower total cost of ownership than conventional lamp projectors.

High Brightness & High-resolution Image Quality
The LX-MU500Z delivers native 1920 x 1200 WUXGA resolution for a high-definition widescreen picture, while 5000 lumens and a 50,000:1 contrast ratio ensure a clear, bright image - even in challenging environments. A range of Preset Image Modes including Standard, Presentation, sRGB, Movie, DICOM Simulation and two customizable user modes make it easy to maximize the quality of the image for the material you are projecting.

Flexible Installation
Installation is convenient thanks to the LX-MU500Z's generous lens shift (+/-50% vertical, +/-23% horizontal), plus a wide throw ratio of 1.36 - 2.18:1. Whether using the projector in classrooms or conference halls, it's easy to achieve the image you want. 360 deg. positioning also allows both landscape or portrait orientation, making the projector flexible for digital signage in retail and museum settings.

Connectivity is also versatile with dual HDMI ports as well as HDBaseT to simplify your connections with non-compressed HD video, audio and control signals that can be transmitted utilizing a single Ethernet cable over long distances of up to 328'. The LX-MU500Z also features an MHL interface (Mobile High Definition Link), so mobile content from a tablet or smartphone can be viewed directly onto the projected screen when connected via HDMI. AV network management systems are also supported; the projector is compatible with Crestron RoomView and AMX Device Discovery to help users minimize downtime and maximize productivity.

Native WUXGA Resolution (1920 x 1200)
Canon's WUXGA resolution brings bright, true widescreen display of highly detailed HD video content and still images with outstanding color richness to large-room installations in high resolution WUXGA (1920 x 1200) at a competitive price. Widescreen graphics, text and other visual content from laptops and desktop computers are shown in accurate proportions from edge to edge with sharp detail.

5000 Lumens and 50,000:1 Contrast Ratio Deliver Bright, Engaging Images This projector projects bright 5000 lumen images with a 50,000:1 contrast ratio that helps ensure deep blacks, bright whites and excellent color. They feature clear depth and dimension and great color accuracy, which is critical to those with discerning needs.

Laser Light Source Provides Longevity, Versatile Installation and a Wide Color Range
The projector's laser light source provides up to 20,000 hours in standard use of continuous, reliable, high-quality projection. Operation is virtually maintenance-free with minimal downtime, as the light source doesn't require routine replacement. This keeps running costs relatively low when looking at the total life of the product - a key consideration for challenging and hard-to-reach installations. Other advantages of the laser light source include installation flexibility and more.

360 deg. Projection
Because this projector uses a laser light source instead of a conventional lamp it can be installed at any angle on a 360 deg. axis facing in any direction.

Wider Color Gamut
Because the laser light source produces a wide range of colors, the projector covers the sRGB color space to deliver millions of colors.

1-chip DLP Technology
This projector utilizes Single-chip Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology which is a widely utilized projection technology that creates natural and lifelike images. The DLP technology utilizes a color wheel along with a reflective Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) to produce video and images with high brightness. The resulting high-resolution video and images maintain the details inherent in what you are showing.

Multiple Image Modes including DICOM Simulation Mode for Optimal Image Quality Reproduction
The projector includes pre-set Image Modes and additional customizable Image Modes to suit a wide range of user preferences and projection environments.

Multiple Image Modes
Image Modes provide different variations of color reproduction characteristics suitable for the image type and projection environment. They include

Standard
Ideal for bright rooms and when using content from computer screens or motion picture content.

Presentation
Ideal for somewhat bright rooms when text needs to be clear, such as when part of a video presentation.

sRGB
Ideal for projecting images from sRGB-supported digital cameras.

Video
Ideal for rooms that are somewhat dark and for video content.

2 Customizable Modes
Ideal for custom set-ups. Provides up to 2 user-selected combinations of image quality settings that can be stored in the memory and selected as an image mode.

DICOM Simulation Mode
Ideal for displaying medical images in non-diagnostic settings. Both Blue Base and Clear Base settings are supported.

Advanced Image Adjustment Options for Customizable Image Characteristics
The projector offers extensive image quality adjustments to help users customize the image to meet their specific projection needs.

Image Adjustments
The Image Adjustment settings allow users to customize the image and color characteristics to fulfill their specific imaging needs. These include

• Brightness
• Contrast
• Sharpness
• Gamma
• Color Adjustments - BrilliantColor, Tint, Color Temperature, Screen Color

Advanced Image Adjustments
These adjustments provide greater flexibility to professional users with more options to adjust the image as desired. These settings include

6-Axis Color Adjust
This technology lets users fine-tune the hue and saturation of each of the primary and secondary colors, providing a high degree of control that can make each projected image a "masterpiece."

Installation Versatility with Lens Shift, Corner Adjustment and More Install-Friendly Functions

Lens Shift
Manual vertical (+/-50%) and horizontal (+/-23%) lens shift allows for adjustment of the image with virtually no distortion.

360-degree Vertical Installation
360-degree projection allows the projector to be positioned anywhere on the vertical axis. Fan speed can also be adjusted to help optimize results (depending on projector positioning).

1. A third-party stand must be used for portrait orientation. Do not place the projector directly on the floor.
2. Operational life of optical components will be shortened when the projector is installed in the following conditions: When the lens is pointing a downward direction, When the air-intake vent is pointing a downward direction in portrait orientation.

Corner Adjustment
Allows the corners of the image to be independently adjusted to help ensure optimal image reproduction.

Screen Color Correction
Enables users to fine-tune the colors of images based on the color of the projection surface. Adjustments can be made from Normal and Greenboard, as well as additional tuning for projecting onto virtually any other colored surface.

Versatile Connectivity - HDBaseT, Dual HDMI, MHL, RCA, S-Video, Component USB Type A, RJ-45, RS-232 and Audio Inputs
