User Manual
It is ideal for:
• Auditoriums and auditorium-style classrooms and
conference rooms in higher education, business, houses of
worship, and elsewhere.
It is also good for:
• Displays, signs, sports bars, simulations, and training
applications.
• Medical-related applications and education using the
$6,399 (MSRP) WUX6500 D, an essentially identical model
with DICOM Simulation added for medical-related imaging.

Physical Attributes:
With the projector on a table, all ports are on
the right side panel as viewed from behind. The
power connector is near the back of the right
side, a little closer to the bottom than the top,
with the Kensington lock slot just below it. The
security bar is at the bottom of the left side. The
speaker is on the front panel, next to the intake
vent. The exhaust vent is on the back panel.

Center Lumens: 6500
Resolution: 1920x1200
A
t its MSRP of $5,879 plus the cost of a lens,
the Canon REALiS WUX6500 Pro AV LCOS
Projector is a solid value based strictly on its
high res 1920x1200 image and its high brightness
at 6500 ANSI Lumens with standard lens
(brightness will vary based on the lens you
select). Adding in its other features – and the fact
that street price is usually lower than list price –
makes it that much more impressive a value in
today’s market.
Going beyond auditoriums and auditorium-
style rooms in higher-education, business and
houses of worship, the WUX6500 is also
designed for applications ranging from signs and
displays in retail stores and museums to training
and simulation applications that require multiple
projectors. For any of those applications – as well
as others like sports bars – it offers a high res,
bright image with vibrant color for graphics,
nicely saturated color for photos, lm, and video,
and a six-axis color adjustment for ne tuning
color.
The choice of lenses, with throw ratios from
0.80:1 to 6.94:1 offer tremendous exibility for
how far you can position the projector from the
screen, while the H+V lens shift add exibility for
positioning it up, down, left, or right. Even better,
the motorized zoom, lens shift, and focus
working together with lens memory let you easily
adjust image size and position for material in
different aspect ratios for a constant image
height setup.
For signs, displays, and simulation and
training applications, the ability to mount the
WUX6500 facing straight up or down adds still
more exibility for placement. The built-in edge
blending adds support for large images using
multiple projectors. And the almost non-existent
18 ms input lag means excellent response for real
time training applications like ight simulations.
Taken together, the Canon WUX6500’s high
brightness, high resolution, top tier image quality,
setup exibility, and choice of lenses will make it
the ideal pick in many cases, from auditorium-
size rooms to sports bars to museum displays to
simulations. That is more than enough to make it
a solid value, earning our Road Test Certied
award.
