BIOS: Technology Means Business

Canon has announced three new projectors, the LV-7255, LV-7250 and LV-X6. The first two are multimedia projectors designed especially to suit business requirements, while the LV-X6 has been specifically designed with educational institutions in mind.

The LV-7255 and LV-7250 promise crisp images, with native XGA resolution (1024x768 pixels), and feature Canon’s 1.6x zoom lenses for high quality images and flexible projector placement. The LV-7255 provides a brightness of 2500 lumens of brightness, while the LV-7250 provides 2000 lumens.

The LV-X6 is also capable of projecting XGA resolution images, but has been specifically designed for educational institutions. An exceptionally low operating noise level of just 25dBA makes it one of Europe’s quietest projectors, while the controlled brightness promises to be easy on students’ eyes. It also sports a long lamp life of up to 4000 hours.

The LV-X6 delivers a controlled 1500 lumens output - an approved classroom level. This gives sufficient brightness for easy viewing, at a comfortable level for students and for teachers when facing the class. A contrast ratio of 500:1 provides vivid colours, while progressive scan keeps images flicker-free, eliminating eyestrain.

The projector’s wide-angle Canon 1.6x zoom lens projects 100-inch images from just 2.9 metres away, offering flexible placement with large images, even in smaller classrooms. Automatic Vertical Keystone Correction assists with fast set-up, compensating for picture distortion that occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. The LV-X6 automatically detects the tilt angle and compensates within a maximum of ±30 degrees.

Screen Colour Correction optimises settings to preserve the natural colour of images when projecting onto coloured backgrounds, including classroom chalkboards. With 8 second start-up, the LV-X6 is ready to project as soon as the lesson begins. There’s no delay with packing up afterwards, with a cool down time of just 30 seconds. Finally, the LV-X6 is easy to transport - it’s compact, portable and lightweight at only 2.9kg.
