Users get all advantages of laser technologies, including lack of need of replacement of lamps, quick start and long term of service without loss of brightness.
Functions:
VPL-FHZ120L/VPL-FHZ90L model
- Advanced system of shift of a lens (max. in vertical direction: ±107%, in horizontal direction: ±60%) and a wide number of optional optics under individual tasks of the customer;
- Up to 6 preset lens positions, depending on the size, a position and permission (16:9, 4:3) to save users from long setup before each presentation;
- Display of HTML-content that allows to project such images as a corporate logo, news or advertisements through network or USB port.
"We faced the growing demand for projection of big images of high brightness as advantages of the laser became widely known and estimated in the market. The Sony company was always the world expert in technologies on the basis of laser and phosphorus light sources therefore models will allow us to hold the leading positions in this segment. After success of models predecessors (FHZ57, FHZ60 and FHZ65) it became obvious that our clients want to optimize the equipment under the content and need such solution which as much as possible will save them from failures and long setup. Models offer our users brightness and additional function of automatic color adjustment that they could enjoy further practicality of our products".

Projectors 4K HDR: VPL-VW760ES/VPL-VW360ES/PL-VW260ES
On September 4, 2017 the Sony company provided three projectors 4K HDR within the line of products of Sony for home theaters. They are developed for exacting judges of cinema.
Projectors are equipped with LCD matrixes of Sony SXRD with the resolution of Cinema of 4K (4096 x 2160). Projectors are characterized by high contrast and saturation of the image. The Reality Creation technology is used, it increases permission and visual detailing of HD movies by method of pixel interpolation on an algorithm of Sony.
The provided products
- VPL-VW760ES is a projector of a premium class 4K HDR with laser source of light and high contrast.
- VPL-VW360ES is a projector 4K HDR with electronic control by a diaphragm for increase in dynamic contrast.
- VPL-VW260ES is a projector 4K HDR, on characteristics similar to other models of a line.
To watch HDR video from any sources projectors of Sony support different HDR formats: HDR10 standard for movies Ultra HD, HLG.
These models are developed on the basis of the basic principle of Sony: we should inform of original realism of the image the audience. During viewing the fighter or a sports match the audience will feel completely submerged in the events. Hadzhime Nakamura, the head of department of a projection equipment in the CIS |
VPL-VW760ES projects the image on the screen, using laser source of light of the increased brightness — 2000 lumens. The technology of management of illumination provides high dynamic contrast. Brightness of a source is continuously adjusted according to the nature of the image.
Thanks to Triluminos technology, the VPL-VW760ES color space is expanded in comparison with normal house projectors; the palette of precisely reproduced colors and textures is increased. The Motionflow technology analyzes dynamic scenes of the movie and increases picture frequency, smoothing breakthroughs and increasing smoothness of the fast movement on the screen.
VPL-VW760ES became more compact than the previous model of Sony with laser source of light: depth decreased by 40%. The laser source of light simplifies operation of a projector as it is not necessary to change a lamp periodically. Account component parts do not require replacement during 20 thousand working hours.
The universal projector of VPL-VW360ES supports format 4K HDR at the brightness of 1500 lumens. VPL-VW360ES is created for replacement of the VPL-VW320ES model. The device is equipped with the system of electronic control by Advanced Iris diaphragm, it increases dynamic contrast up to 200,000:1, memory of settings of a lens guarantees the correct proportions of the image for movies with the different frame formats.
At VPL-VW260ES projector brightness same, as at VPL-VW360ES — 1500 lumens. On many characteristics this projector does not differ from the senior models. In it matrixes of SXRD of the Cinema format 4K (4096 x 2160), Reality Creation and Triluminos technologies are used.
VPL-VW360ES and VPL-VW260ES appeared in shops of Europe. VPL-VW760ES will go on sale in November, 2017.

VPL-PHZ10 and VPL-PWZ10 models represent economically right decision for small premises, such as educational audiences and meeting rooms, using at the same time all advantages of laser Sony Z-Phosphor technology.
Operating time of these projectors reaches 20,000 hours without maintenance. Such functions as Auto Dimming and Auto Brightness, automatically regulate image brightness and help to cut down considerably operating costs, in comparison with traditional lamp models. Now the lineup of Sony includes 8 laser projectors with a brightness from 4100 lm to 7000 lm, apart from laser models for the home theater.
Projectors are equipped with 3LCD BrightEra technology creating the bright image of high resolution with a natural color rendition without distortions. The Reality Creation system analyzes an image source frame by frame, using the powerful database for optimization of each pixel for obtaining the sharp, blank and high-quality image. One more feature of technology is the Contrast Enhancer function using the principles of work of the systems of home theaters for processing of dark and light zones of the image in real time, – it allows to focus attention on light places, emphasizing them with deep dark colors.
Possibilities of laser projectors - inclusion/switching off, a possibility of any arrangement in space and the increased vertical/horizontal shift of a lens, do models of Sony by functional solutions in the spirit of the mission of the company which consists in creation of the innovation products advancing requirements of the market.
Fourth generation of laser projectors of Sony includes design with the lowered level of acoustic noises that allows to set a projector practically in any space. The HDBaseT interface accelerates data transmission and reduces the total costs of a system design, using a uniform cable for video transmission, audio, IP and control signals on distance to 100 m.
VPL-PHZ10 and VPL-PWZ10 models have the long term of work without service in comparison with lamp projectors that reduces the total costs of operation.
"We are very glad to implementation of our innovative laser technologies in more budget segment of the business and educational market. The Sony company surely follows double strategy for laser and lamp projectors as the last category still remains important for many organizations. At the same time, other clients prefer a laser projection. Two new 3LCD of model allow us to provide the high quality image at the same price, as traditional lamp models".
