Around the world, Canon products are synonymous with optical excellence, advanced image processing, and superb performance. And Canon projectors are no exception.

The family of Canon projectors includes the REALiS line of bright, high resolution, ultra-portable and affordable projectors. REALiS projectors combine the brilliance and sharpness of innovative LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) technology with Canon's proprietary AISYS light engine technology. The result is a unique set of advanced projectors that deliver exceptional image quality.

The SX6 is the top of Canon's REALiS line of projectors. At 3500 ANSI lumens, it is the brightest ultra-portable SXGA+ projector Canon makes. It's ideal for demanding users such as graphic designers, publishers and photographers because the SX6 gives the widest range of Adobe RGB color space of any projector. This exceptional projector features new, advanced AISYS technology - with improved light efficiency, uniformity, and expanded color space for outstanding color reproduction. It also boasts a wide variety of features that make it a versatile and easy-to-use performer. Its 1.7x Ultra-Wide Powered Zoom Lens with Autofocus gives you the widest zoom range of any of Canon's projector lenses. And, its DVI-I terminal lets you project high quality video from satellite and digital cable boxes, as well as DVD players.

Advanced Color Management

Color Modes

With the REALiS SX6, you can select between four Color Modes, each one designed for a different type of projection:

Adobe RGB is a larger color space, enabling the reproduction of more colors -- and is ideal for professional photographic studios, graphic design studios and printers who need to display images with accurate, uniform color. The SX6 gives you the widest range of Adobe RGB color space found in any projector.

Standard mode gives you images closely resembling the original, with an emphasis on white areas

Presentation mode increases contrast between bright and dark areas, making it easier to see detailed diagrams and text

sRGB mode is optimized for sRGB images, which includes those produced by many digital cameras

Movie&Photo mode is for the display of video and digital camera images, clearly defining gradations and improving color reproduction

You can also create custom settings by adjusting 7 different aspects (brightness, contrast, sharpness, gamma, and more) for each of the four image modes. That means 28 different custom image modes in total, and that means a perfect picture, no matter what you're viewing.

Complete Color Control

Your projection screen is your canvas with the SX6's unparalleled color control. An easy-to-use Graphical User Interface lets you adjust your palette of colors to paint the picture you want for your audience.

With Memory/Vivid Color Correction, you can adjust the degree of vividness of each of the primary colors (red, green, blue) and each of the secondary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow). Choose between low, medium, and high to project the image the way you remember it.

Plus, the projector's 6-axis (RGBCMY) Color Adjustment lets you fine-tune the hue and saturation of each of the primary and secondary colors. This high degree of control makes each projected image a masterpiece.
