LCOS technology and constant brightness (between T-edge to W-edge at zoom) is unique to Canon meeting users' needs in various situations.

In addition to delivering exceptional brightness and high-resolution performance, the XEED-ST series incorporate a short-throw shift able lens which is capable of projecting a wide vertical range of approximately 75 % to 77 % in addition to a horizontal range of approximately 10 % and that makes possible effortless installation in a variety of medium-range usage environments, including classrooms and lecture halls.

The new series of projectors comes with the price range starting from Rs. 40,750 to Rs. 5,00,000
