Canon India Pvt. Ltd, launchednine LV and XEED series projectors.The XEED series are targeted at sectors like large corporate, education, medical and government, and in the simulation industry. The LV series are equipped to offer lower cost of ownership due to longer lamp life and air filter-free design.
Mr. Yasuhiko Hoshino, Senior General Manager, Canon Inc., said, “The projectors offer quality and brightness along with lower operating costs enabling both businesses and end-users to deliver optimum results at a minimum cost.”
Mr. Kazutada Kobayashi, President and CEO, Canon India Pvt. Ltd, said, “Apart from being used for projecting data, customers are now using it to project movies, videos and games as well. The new Canon projectors are equipped with high quality optics to cater to such needs. We will be reaching out to potential customers across all the major metros and aim to capture 10% market share by 2017.”
Canon has also introduced its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology, used in XEED series, which make possible projections that are free of the “lattice effect,” a phenomenon in which a faint grid pattern appears over the projected image.
The series launched are LV-WX300, LV-X300, LV-S300, LV-WX300ST and LV-X300ST and the XEED WUX450 and the XEED WX520, XEED WUX400ST and the XEED WX450ST.
LV Series is the portable range of projectors utilizing DLP® BrilliantColor ™ display technology, 3000 lumens of brightness, a 2300:1 contrast ratio and filter-free operation. The projector in the Eco mode lowers the cost of ownership and helps reduce power consumption by approximately 20 percent while also lowering fan noise. These new Canon projectors are also 3D-ready when combined with an optional DLP-Link System and other accessories.
The XEED series have inbuilt Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) technology which produces fine, detailed images without the lattice effect that is sometimes seen on other projectors. The XEED-ST series incorporate a short-throw shift able lens which is capable of projecting a wide vertical range of approximately 75 % to 77 % in addition to a horizontal range of approximately 10 % and that makes possible effortless installation in a variety of medium-range usage environments, including classrooms and lecture halls.
The new series of projectors are ranging from Rs. 40,750 to Rs.5,00,000.
