Our opinion on the Canon XEED SX7 Projector
High-end surroundings require superior projection. With 4000 lumens and SXGA+ resolution, the XEED SX7 provides exemplary imaging for boardrooms, conference centres and professional installations.
One of the most important qualities of any high-resolution projector is the sharpness and clarity of the image. The Canon SX7 is sharp as a razor with native 1400x1050 content, which is to be expected
Product Description for the Canon XEED SX7 ProjectorSeamless, high resolution images
The XEED SX7 uses LCOS panels with virtually no gaps between pixels, to project perfect, seamless images. Native SXGA+ resolution (1400 x 1050 pixels) ensures the faithful reproduction of source text, graphics and moving images.
Astonishing brightness
With ultra-bright 4000 lumens, the XEED SX7 ensures that images are projected clearly even in large venues or when Ambient Light levels are high. The new AC lamp offers improved efficiency and longer life.
Stunning contrast
Free from the contrast limitations of traditional LCOS projectors, the AISYS optical system yields a high 1000:1 Contrast Ratio for rich, deep colour tones and true blacks in dark areas.
Near-silent operation
The XEED SX7 is whisper quiet when operating in Quiet Mode, with fan noise reduced to just 31dBA. Meetings and presentations are free from background whir. Progressive scan display is supported, for flicker-free moving images.
Powerful Optics
The motorised 1.7x Canon zoom lens provides flexible projector placement, while its wide angle allows large images to be projected from a short distance. Operable from the control panel or the remote control handset, the lens has a unique coating to prevent ghosting and flare.
Automatic and easy
Set-up is quick and hassle-free. With Auto Focus the projector detects its distance from the screen and focuses accordingly. Auto Screen Colour Correction optimises settings for viewing on coloured walls. Auto Vertical Keystone Correction prevents trapezium distortion of the image. Auto Input Selection detects the active input port.
HD Ready
The XEED SX7 is HD Ready, and can faithfully reproduce High Definition images. HD display is enhanced by a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) port, providing the best possible image quality. The XEED SX7 supports the HDCP standard, allowing playback of encrypted digital content. The projector even can be controlled over an Ethernet network via the optional Network Adapter.
Colour accuracy
The XEED SX7 supports the Adobe RGB colour space and also has a new bright sRGB Mode, for accurate colour reproduction from compliant image sources.
Ideal for installation
With its compact dimensions and weight of just 4.7kg, the XEED SX7 offers performance comparable to some installation projectors. This makes it ideal for use in professional AV installations.
