Canon Projectors: A legacy of Optical Technologies for Museums and more

Since the commercialization of projectors for public and private use, Canon has been among the most respected names in the audiovisual industry. With a legacy rooted in delivering cutting-edge optical products, Canon projectors have consistently garnered admiration and trust from users worldwide, thanks to their Japanese origin and global brand awareness.

Over the years, Canon projectors have played a significant role in various applications, ranging from educational institutions and corporate boardrooms to theaters and museums. One particularly eye-catching example is the Mediamuseum Beeld and Geluid in the Netherlands, which chose to adopt Canon projectors, proving the enduring quality and capability of their products. The museum’s decision to select Canon projectors speaks volumes about their reputation for providing a striking and immersive visual experience that enhances the exploration of Dutch media history.

As the Mediamuseum Beeld en Geluid showcases the nation’s rich audiovisual heritage, the utilization of Canon projectors adds a touch of nostalgia to the visitors’ journey, evoking memories of the iconic moments in Dutch media captured on film and broadcasted through television over the decades. 

As the audiovisual landscape evolves, the torch is passed to more innovative manufacturers like GeoBox, whose pure hardware-based framework was chosen to ensure the seamless blending and warping of images from the multiple Canon projectors at Mediamuseum Beeld en Geluid. This technological partnership between Canon projectors and GeoBox showcases the integration of legacy and innovation, honoring the past while embracing the future.
