Canon REALiS SX7 Projector

Around the world, Canon products are synonymous with optical excellence, advanced image processing, and superb performance. 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 SX7 is the top of Canon's REALiS line of projectors. At 4000 ANSI lumens, it is the brightest ultra-portable SXGA+ projector Canon makes. It's ideal for demanding users such as graphic designers, publishers and photographers because the SX7 gives the widest range of Adobe RGB color space of any projector. A new AC lamp system delivers greater color fidelity than ever before, with enhanced red and green for more realistic tones. This exceptional projector features new, advanced AISYS technology—with improved light efficiency, uniformity, and expanded color space for outstanding color reproduction. It also boasts a wide variety of features that make it a versatile and easy-to-use performer. Its 1.7x Ultra-Wide Powered Zoom Lens with Auto Focus gives you the widest zoom range of any of Canon's projector lenses while its DVI-I terminal lets you project high-quality video from satellite and digital cable boxes, as well as DVD players and enhanced audio inputs and variable audio output. And an optional Network Operation capability makes the SX7 deliver more of what you need in a top-line projector.

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. It's the right choice for displaying bright, big-screen images without darkening the conference room or classroom.

LCOS - or Liquid Crystal On Silicon - has taken projectors to a whole new level. This 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 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 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.

With the new AC lamp system of the SX7 and the AISYS optical system, the images you project are brighter, with truer color. The purity of red and green is enhanced over that which is possible with conventional DC lamps, giving a more lifelike depth to the colors on the screen. In addition, the new lamp system boasts an extended operating life, up to 2000 hours in normal mode and up to 3000 hours in quiet mode.

LCOS, an AISYS optical engine, the new AC lamp system and 4000 ANSI lumens make the REALiS SX7 a superb high-performance projector like no other.
