DICOM Simulation Mode is specialized imaging, using standardized grayscale to reproduce medical images, such as x-rays, for medical training and education. There is also six-axis color adjustment, which allows users to customize colors by adjusting hue, saturation, and brightness of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Also included are four new test patterns to make setup easier.

Also included in the features of the PowerLite Pro G series are split screen and multi-PC projection, allowing up to four computers to simultaneously project via the network with a four-way split screen. The new projectors are also compatible with Crestron RoomView to control and manage the units over a network.

The projectors offer the same features as their predecessors, including 3LCD, optional wireless, HDMI connectivity, Quick Corner image positioning technology, and five optional lenses, including a rear-projection lens.
