As such, nearly all features are shared, including a 1.2x zoom lens, a whiteboard mode that optimizes images for the glossy dry-erase board, and a screen color correction mode that allows users to account for display surfaces of different colors. Connections include a DVI-I port with HDCP support for both protected and unprotected HD signals as high as 1080i and 720p. Connecting to networks is done via an Ethernet port.
Five modes in the flexible image settings include Standard, Presentaion, Cinema, Video and sRGB settings for quick changes to the displayed images look. Aspect ratios can also be changed from this menu. An Auto-Keystone Correction feature will correct for any tilt in the projector, squarely throwing up the image on a screen. Closed captioning can be turned for the hearing impaired or when the built-in 7W speaker is not loud enough.
A carrying handle is built into each LV unit, which have individual weights of about 7.3lbs. For more efficient energy use, Canon has integrated a timer that turns off the projector after a pre-set amount of time, which users can change. Another auto detection feature switches the power on whenever a computer or notebook are connected.
All three projectors will ship mid-March, with the LV-8300 priced at $1,399, the LV-7375 at $1,799 and the LV-7370 at $1,299.
