This new LX-MU800Z Laser DLP Projector can be rotated 360 degrees at any angle on the vertical axis, and can be used to project in portrait applications. The LX-MU800Z projector also offers seven interchangeable lens opt and all lenses can be quickly installed and then removed with the push of a release button. For enhanced installation flexibility, the LX-MU800Z projector also provides motorized lens shift, which makes it possible to adjust the horizontal and vertical positioning of the projected image, as well as motorized zoom and focus, all of which can be easily adjusted by using the included remote. Additionally, the projector lens memory function can be used to store up to eight different custom lens positions, each including zoom, lens shift and focal length.

There are multiple built-in terminals, including HDMI, 3G-SDI, DVI-D, and a built-in HDBaseT receiver, allowing uncompressed HD video, audio and control signals to be transmitted over single LAN cable with a maximum distance up to 328 feet.

The LX-MU800Z projector is compatible with AMX, Crestron and Extron devices enabling control of multiple projectors on a network, and also supports PJLink, which enables users to control and monitor the projector over a network – a feature that is ideal for observing lamp hours, usage and more.

The Canon LX-MU800Z Laser DLP Projector will have an SLP of $28,000, including the LX-IL03ST lens, and available in the starting of July.
