Canon U.S.A. Empowers Public Speakers With Its New Handheld Wireless PresenterMELVILLE, N.Y., April 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that the PR500-R Handheld Presenter will be joining the current lineup of easy-to-see Canon laser presenters. The new PR500-R is about two times more visible than a normal red laser1; helping business professionals, educators and public speakers to keep viewers engaged while making their big presentation.
This presenter, like others in the Canon presenter lineup, offers a simple and intuitive key layout designed to give the presenter full control of the slideshow without having to look at the device. The new PR500-R Handheld Presenter is also ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable hold in spite of the length of the presentation. The PR500-R Handheld Presenter provides a battery level indicator when the power is turned on to help speakers maintain focus on the crowd while being alerted to critical battery levels. A green LED light lets speakers know the battery has a high charge. An orange LED light indicates the battery charge is getting low, a red LED light indicates that the charge on the battery is about to run out, and finally there will be no LED light when the PR500-R is out of battery power. Furthermore, the device wirelessly operates with compatible PowerPoint®, Keynote®, Adobe® PDF and macOS® Preview files via USB plug-in receiver2. Requiring no setup, users just plug and connect immediately, allowing them to quickly begin to move freely around a conference room, lecture hall or classroom from up to a 65 foot range3 with the PR500-R Handheld Presenter and to maintain control of presentations without needing to ask for assistance to change slides. "Canon looks to continuously provid new and exciting solutions designed to meet the needs of consumers," said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO of Canon U.S.A., Inc. "This new presenter is an essential tool for public speakers looking to keep their presentations engaging and controlled, and is designed to be stress-free for both themselves and their audience."
