installation LCOS projector, which proved to be the right choice for

both venues.

“I was skeptical that the Canon REALiS WUX4000 would even work in the

black box theater, since it didn’t even have a projection screen in it,” he

recalled. “What it does have is an almost transparent cyclorama with a

non-reﬂective surface. But when we ﬁred-up the REALiS WUX4000 and saw

how it looked, we were amazed. The pictures were really sharp even though

we intentionally used dark imagery to see what kind of detail we could

get out of the projector. The results were so good that we felt immediately

compelled to purchase one for that theater.”

Impressed with the performance of the Canon REALiS WUX4000, Morales

and his team also tested it in the Soka Performing Arts Center. What they

saw resulted in their decision to purchase not one but three more of the

projectors. Two are stacked in the Center and another was installed in a

large classroom.

“Even from 100 feet away, one Canon REALiS WUX4000 projector can

do the job in the Center with good HD quality with proper brightness and

contrast,” he said. “It’s also quite a cost savings, when you consider that the

projection lamp for the ﬁrst large-venue projector we looked at cost almost

as much as an entire REALiS WUX4000. There are absolutely no grids in the

picture like you see with LCD projectors and the overall quality is fantastic.”

Employing Canon’s fourth-generation proprietary AISYS-enhanced LCOS

optical engine, the REALiS WUX4000 projector delivers crisp, seamless

images with intricate detail, high brightness, high contrast and accurate

color. LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) is a next-generation display

technology utilizing tightly packed pixels providing excellent image quality.

Canon’s proprietary AISYS (Aspectual Illumination System) technology

further increases the display advantages of LCOS by efﬁciently utilizing and

equalizing light from the projector lamp. Featuring an easy-access lamp, air

ﬁlter, and optical ﬁlter, and a choice of three interchangeable Genuine Canon

projection lenses to suit a variety of presentation environments, the REALiS

WUX4000 also provides quiet operation.

“Acoustics are the primary focus of the hall and we found that we can

actually put the Canon REALiS WUX4000 projector right in the middle of

the seats and it doesn’t bother anyone,” Morales stated. Canon projection

lenses chosen for Soka University’s REALiS WUX4000’s include a 1.7x

long-focus zoom for the large classroom and a 1.5x zoom for the black box

theater. Both lenses are used in the Soka Performing Arts Center, depending

on which of its multiple projection screens are being used.

Versatile HD Video Capture

REALiS WUX4000 installation LCOS projectors aren’t the only Canon

professional imaging products being used at Soka University, Morales

revealed. The institution also has ten Canon XF305 Professional HD

Camcorders mounted on custom-made robotic arms in both the

Center and the black box theater. Easily removable from their mounts,

the XF305 Professional HD Camcorders are used for a variety of

production tasks at the University.

“The Canon XF305 is actually designed for hand-held ENG-style

shooting, but we also use them as robotic-style HD cameras,”

Morales explained. “In our custom mounts they can do everything that

traditional robotic HD cameras can, and at a third of the price. They

are fantastic HD cameras for performing arts centers and concert

halls, where discretion is of the outmost importance. A larger HD

camera would be too aesthetically cumbersome for those spaces.”

The Canon XF305 Professional Camcorder records Full HD video

directly to Compact Flash cards. Equipped with three high-sensitivity

Canon native 1920 x 1080 CMOS sensors, the XF305 features a

Genuine Canon 18x HD zoom lens with Instant AF and a Full Manual

Focus mode with mechanical “hard” end stops and distance markers.

Weighing just 6 lbs., the XF305 includes a 4-inch, 1.23-megapixel

LCD monitor (with built-in waveform and vector scope display) that

can be positioned at either the right or left side of the camera body.

The XF305 also includes an industry-standard HD-SDI output, a

genlock input, and SMPTE time code (in/out) terminals for multi-

camera productions. Equipped with Canon’s advanced MPEG-2 4:2:2

50Mbps XF Codec for exceptional image quality, the XF305 employs

the MXF File Wrapper for robust workﬂow and compatibility with all

leading non-linear editing systems.

“These Canon XF305 HD cameras are very versatile,” Morales adds.

“We can take them off of the robotic mounts and use them at different

locations on campus. I keep one in my ofﬁce and have taken it up in

a helicopter to shoot aerial views. We also use them in our recreation

center, where we hold our yearly gala. In the past we hired a crew

with its own cameras. This year they used our Canon XF305 HD

cameras and we saved thousands on rental fees.”

Named after a Japanese word that means “to create value,” Soka

University’s choice of image projection and capture technologies do

much to fulﬁll that goal, according to Morales.
