The REALiS 4K500ST brings true-to-life 4K resolution to the top of Canon\
’s LCOS 
projector line. It combines Canon’s LCOS Technology with AISYS-enhanc\
ement, 
and advanced Genuine Canon optics, to set a new standard in detail and c\
larity 
within a compact and lightweight design. 
•  4K Resolution (4096 x 2400): Higher than 4K Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) 
4096 x 2160, and Quad Full High Definition (QFHD) 3840 x 2160 resoluti\
ons.
•  5000 Lumens*  with up to 2500:1 Contrast Ratio: Deep black levels and bright 
whites create content with outstanding depth and dimension.
•  Genuine Canon Optics: Specialized 4K short focus wide zoom lens produces 
virtually distortion-free 4K resolution projection with consistent brigh\
tness 
maintained at virtually every distance.
•  Compact and Lightweight Size: Offers unique installation opportunities and flexibility.
•  Powerful Dual Video Engines: Uncompressed 4K 60 fps video playback, and optimal 
image upscaling to help maximize the quality of non-native 4K resolution content.
CANON 4K PROJECTION.  
A NEW DIMENSION IN DETAIL.
Native 4K Resolution (4096 x 2400) 
Eye-opening 4K resolution produces 
incredibly detailed, high-impact images 
that are much sharper and more true to life 
than lower resolutions. 
At 4096 x 2400, Canon’s 4K resolution 
generates a bigger, richer picture made up 
of more than 9.8 million pixels – higher than 
the Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) standard 
for 4K cinema (4096 x 2160) and more 
than QFHD (3840 x 2160), the resolution 
standard for 4K TV. When compared to 
popular Full HD (1920 x 1080), the 4K500ST 
produces more than four times the detail. 
This high resolution can help military, 
flight and other simulators produce highly 
accurate video and images with a wide 
depth-of-field to get as close as possible 
to a real life experience. 
Canon 4K Brings True Detail and Realism to Audiences   
All in a Compact Size
  
Ultra-high 4K resolution and cutting-edge Canon optical technology make 
the REALiS 4K500ST LCOS projector an ideal choice for a variety of 
applications that demand highly detailed, precise images. From simulatio\
n 
and training to museums and galleries, it provides images and video that 
closely replicate real world experiences.
SIMULATION & TRAINING
Immersive video, reduced motion blur and a fast response rate provide 
highly realistic scenarios for effective simulation and training. A compact 
size helps to ensure a suitable fit in a variety of spaces.

Enhanced Image Processing Technologies 
Canon’s advanced, powerful dual image processing engines produce exceptional video playback. 
The engines also incorporate a variety of features available to help enhance the quality of still and 
motion images, making them more realistic and impactful. 
•  Video Playback (4K 60p, 4K 30p): Smoothly reproduces uncompressed 4K video at 60 or 30 frames 
per second for a natural, fluid feel and highly detailed, true-to-life content. 
•  Upscaling: Non-4K content can be displayed by  
utilizing two scaling functions of BiCubic and Canon’s 
Shape Trace – which can detect contours of an image   
in a diagonal direction and performs interpolation, 
resulting in a stunningly smooth image. 
•   Dynamic Gamma: When applied, this feature analyzes 
individual areas of the image for specific, independent 
contrast adjustment so light and dark areas do not appear over or under exposed. 
•  Memory Color Correction: This Canon technology can be used to enhance skin tones and other 
color features for rich, vivid results that look striking to the human eye.
Motion Blur Reduction Function
Advanced image adjustments include Canon’s latest Motion Blur 
Reduction feature** for improved visibility when movement is 
fast. By inserting extra frames to video content, motion blur is 
reduced and the clarity of graphics and text on fast-moving 
objects is preserved. Three different modes (Strong, Low and Off) 
are included for flexibility, with each depending on the level of 
movement and type of video content.
Low Frame Delay
Effective simulation and training depends on realistic video with ‘low latency’ – images that refresh 
as quickly as possible with minimal lag time. A relatively small frame delay helps to create an 
immersive, life-like experience. Response times are fast, so if a trainee pilot activates a cockpit 
control, for example, the corresponding video picture will respond quickly for a real-life look and feel.
Genuine Canon Optics
Drawing on Canon’s advanced optical expertise, the specialized 4K short focus wide zoom lens projects 
virtually distortion-free 4096 x 2400 resolution images. A throw ratio of 1.0 –1.3:1 means a 10 foot wide 
image can be projected from an approximate distance of only 10 feet away.
The design includes the same bold red ring around the lens barrel as Can\
on’s renowned L-series EF 
camera lenses, which are highly regarded among professional photographer\
s as many of the industry’s 
finest. The lens itself features a multitude of sophisticated Canon technologies, such as dual-si\
ded 
aspherical lens elements as well as Ultra Low Dispersion (UD) lens elements. These elements 
significantly reduce chromatic aberration, curvilinear distortion, ghosting and flare to create sharp 
and clear images in a compact size.
A deep depth of focus at F2.6 as well as a new Marginal Focus 
feature allow images to be rendered highly accurately onto 
a variety of curved surfaces. Where other projectors may 
distort or bow at the edges, Canon’s optical technology 
keeps the image periphery extremely straight with a 
significantly low TV distortion. This results in 
beautiful images with smooth edges.
Brightness remains virtually consistent at 5000 
lumens throughout the 1.3x zoom range, resulting in 
images that remain clear, strong and color-true whatever 
the projection distance. 
Next Generation LCOS Technology  
with  AISYS-enhancement
Canon’s advanced AISYS Optical Engine 
(Aspectual Illumination System) maximizes the 
light source and performance of the LCOS 
(Liquid Crystal On Silicon) panels to produce high 
resolution, high brightness and high contrast. Where high-level detail and clarity 
is vital, 5000 lumens of brightness and a contrast ratio of up to 2500:1 help 
provide a high-quality image. In addition, three 0.76-inch LCOS panels create 
smooth, natural video and images with a fast response time when compared to 
other projection technologies. The result is an immersive 4K resolution picture 
with crisp detail and true-to-life color.
REALISTIC  “LIFE-LIKE”  IMAGES, 
ALIVE WITH DETAIL
MUSEUMS & GALLERIES
Large, dramatic displays and 
panoramas can be created   
using the built-in Edge Blending 
function of multiple projectors. 
Accurate color reproduction 
and professional adjustment 
options help to amplify the 
impact by providing faithful 
images that can suit specific 
imaging needs.
Consistent Brightness  Virtually no light is lost when changing 
lens position, meaning brightness is consistent throughout the zoom 
range and images remain sharp, clear and highly realistic.
Seamless video with virtually no  grid lines
