Canon has launched a new high-end projector for medical (educational) use, the REALiS WUX4000 D Installation LCOS Projector. It features a DICOM Simulation mode that simulates the results of DICOM-compliant monitors for display of grayscale images on the big screen. The simulation mode offers 21 different levels of grayscale gradation (preset gamma adjustments). Other than that it has a Liquid Crystal on Silicon optical system, can be used with three different high-resolution interchangeable lenses for different throw distances and projection screen sizes, has a widescreen WUXGA-resolution (1920 x 1200), 4000 lumens and includes a built-in Canon Color-Correction integrated circuit. Inputs are fairly standard, with HDMI, DVI, VGA and audio inputs and additionally a network port for remote control. One final remark: despite the DICOM simulation mode, it is not approved for medical diagnosis. It will be available in March 2011, for a measly 9,999 dollars (plus tax, where applicable).
