Canon Realis SX50

The Image Sharpness of SXGA+ : Canon has built its exclusive AISYS optical engine into the heart of the Realis SX50 projector. With this patented technology, the SX50 delivers sharp, bright, brilliant images. With a long list of features and accessories, the SX50 delivers those images with flexibility, versatility and effortless operation. The Image Sharpness of SXGA+ Razor-sharp images are yours with Canon's new Realis SX50 projector. Going beyond XGA and SXGA, the SX50's SXGA+ gives you the stunning crispness of 1400 x 1050 lines of resolution - letting you keep pace with the increasing resolution of your notebook computer display. Not only that, but the SX50 lets you display true 16:9 high definition broadcast images, as well as Compressed UXGA.

The Image Sharpness And Brightness of LCOS Technology: With Canon's first LCOS projector, you get all the brilliance and image sharpness of LCOS technology, but in a portable and affordable projector unlike any other on the market. LCOS - or Liquid Crystal On Silicon - has taken projectors to a whole new level. This new technology means higher resolution images, seamless images with no flickering or "screen door" effect, quick image response for better looking moving images, and better display of text. 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. It is this combination that makes the Realis SX50 a projector like no other.

AISYS - The Heart Of The SX50 Behind the crisp, bright images of the Realis SX50 is the heart of the projector: Canon's exclusive AISYS technology. While other projectors come with LCOS technology, only Canon combines LCOS with its innovative, breakthrough AISYS illumination technology. Only AISYS achieves the right balance of contrast, brightness and compact size to maximize the performance of LCOS. The result is an exceptionally bright, sharp image from an affordable, portable SXGA+ projector.

More Brilliance When you have to project over large distances or in a bright setting, the SX50 has the power you need. Not only does it feature the bright performance of LCOS and AISYS technology, it's also packing an impressive 2500 ANSI lumens.
