Canon launches new classroom projector – LV-X6
Canon







Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 21 February, 2006: Canon today announces the launch of the LV-X6 projector. Capable of projecting high-quality XGA resolution images, the LV-X6 has been specifically designed with educational institutions in mind. An exceptionally low operating noise level of just 25dBA makes it one of Europe’s quietest projectors, while the controlled brightness is easy on students’ eyes. With an affordable price tag and long lamp life of up to 4000 hours, the LV-X6 is also Canon’s most economical projector.

 

The LV-X6 features:

  • High resolution, true XGA projection
  • 1500 lumens brightness
  • 25dBA operation in Quiet Mode
  • Wide angle 1.6x Canon lens for flexible projector placement
  • Automatic Vertical Keystone correction
  • Screen Colour Correction for natural colours when projecting on blackboards or other coloured surfaces

The LV-X6 is an entry-level projector designed especially for educational use, and is the successor to the LV-X5.

Projection at approved levels

The LV-X6 utilises a newly designed 0.6 inch display panel, with native XGA resolution. This high-resolution panel produces crystal clear images, and via advanced image compression, the projector can display up to UXGA resolution (1600 x 1200 pixels). Meeting approved BECTA [1] guidelines, the LV-X6 projects at 1500 lumens, making images easy on the eyes of students, and also protects teachers’ eyes, should they find themselves standing in the light path of the projector when facing their class. With a contrast ratio of 500:1, projected images have purer colours – blacks are deeper, and colours far more vivid.

Ideal classroom companion

When operating in Quiet Mode, the LV-X6 is virtually silent. At just 25dBA the projector creates no distracting noise in the classroom, and is one of the quietest projectors available. The wide-angle 1.6x lens with genuine Canon optics can project a 100” image from just 2.9 metres away. The short throwing distance gives large image projection even in small classrooms, and ensures flexible projector placement.

Easy, convenient set-up

The LV-X6 can be operated without distortion even when not placed perpendicular to the screen. Automatic Vertical Keystone correction senses a tilt of up to +/- 30 degrees, and ensures that the edges of the image remain straight – making the projector remarkably easy to set up. Screen Colour Correction allows for situations where there is no white screen available.  When projecting onto a coloured wall or blackboard, the projector compensates for the background colour and ensures images are optimised.

The highly portable LV-X6 is compact and lightweight – at just 2.9kg it can be easily transported between classrooms. With short start-up and cool down times the device is ready to begin projecting in only 9 seconds.

Economical

The efficient 150W lamp has an excellent lifespan, yielding up to 4000 hours, when used in Quiet Mode. Even in the standard Mode, the lamp still lasts an economical 3000 hours. Priced for the budget conscious, the LV-X6 continues to economise, even after purchase.
