The REALiS WUX6500 projector offers versatile connectivity with
HDMI, DVI-I and other communication interfaces, and includes a
built-in HDBaseT receiver2 to help reduce complex wiring
by allowing uncompressed HD video, audio and control signals to be
transmitted over one single Ethernet cable.
To help optimize image reproduction based on the
environment/application and type of content, the REALiS WUX6500
Projector also features a suite of advanced image adjustments
including 6-Axis Color Adjustment, Dynamic Gamma, Memory Color
Correction and Motion Blur Reduction. Furthermore, a
Picture-by-Picture feature enables two high-quality images from two
digital inputs (via DVI and HDMI) to be projected simultaneously
side-by-side in one letterboxed image.

For those
in the medical education and training fields, the REALiS WUX6500 D
Pro AV LCOS Projector is also available with all the same features
as the REALiS WUX6500, but also includes a special DICOM®
Simulation Mode3 for displaying monochrome digital
X-rays, CAT scans, and MRIs with superb grayscale gradation.
This mode, which simulates the results of devices compliant with
the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14
standard, offers both clear and blue base color temperature
presets. To further enhance the learning experience, users of the
WUX6500 D Projector can employ the Picture-by-Picture feature and
choose between viewing DICOM SIM monochrome images and sRGB color
images side-by-side.
LV-HD420 and LV-X420 DLP Projectors
Balancing image
quality and versatility, the compact LV-HD420 and LV-X420
Projectors offer native Full HD (1920 x 1080) and XGA (1024 x 768)
resolutions respectively, as well as 4200 Lumens and a
high-contrast ratio (8,000:1 for the LV-HD420 and 10,000:1 for the
LV-X420), all in an approximate 7 lb. compact body. Both models
include the BrilliantColor™ system and a range of
image quality adjustments, the capability to display 3D content via
a DLP-Link System and include a built-in high-powered 10W speaker.
For simplified installation and maintenance both models include
dual HDMI inputs with MHL support4 and are
filter-free.
Wide Zoom Lens LX-IL08WZ
Compatible with the existing
LX-MU800Z Laser and LX-MU700 DLP Projectors, the Wide Zoom Lens
LX-IL08WZ provides a throw ratio of 1.07 - 1.61:1 and a 0-50
percent vertical and ±10 percent horizontal lens shift. The

classrooms, to museums and galleries where projector placement may
be limited due to space restrictions.
