Brilliant colour performance with 1.3x optical zoom lens
The Sony VPL-EX242 adopts a 3LCD projection system incorporating three LCD panels. This system enables each projector to present bright and natural images. By combining an advanced generation of inorganic LCD panels that utilise Sony’s BrightEra™ technology with a 3LCD projection system, the projector offers high picture quality and brightness.
12-bit 3D gamma correction and I/P conversion and film mode
Incorporates 12-bit 3D gamma correction circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma correction, achieving smoother gradations and a richer grey scale. Smooth, high-quality images are reproduced using a high performance processor for I/P conversion. Source signals suitable I/P conversion are processed automatically, and extremely accurate images are reproduced.
Auto power saving functions
The brightness of the lamp’s output is automatically adjusted depending on the brightness of the projected image, to avoid unnecessary power consumption. After 10 seconds of a static signal feed, the lamp dims by approximately 15%, which is hardly noticeable. If one of the EX242 projectors is left powered on while not in use, after a set period of time it will automatically detect no change of signal input and will dim the lamp to as low as approximately 30% of original brightness to significantly reduce energy consumption. The projector can also temporarily disable video signal output.
Long-lasting lamp and energy saving design
By incorporating high-performance lamp and advanced lamp-control technology, the projector offers a recommended lamp replacement time of 7,000 hours (in low mode). The projector offers remarkably low power consumption, allowing users to make significant savings on their electricity expenses. With a single push of the ECO MODE key on either the projector or the supplied Remote Commander™ unit, user can select an energy-saving setting from the ECO Mode menu.
Lamp and filter synchronised maintenance
The expected lamp maintenance time for each model can reach up to 7,000 hours depending on the selected lamp mode, and dust filters require the same maintenance interval. Synchronizing the timing of lamp and filter maintenance enables users to reduce the numbers of “ladder climbs” for maintenance.
Convenient, simple projector adjustment
The projector’s 1.3x flexible standard zoom lens allows the projector to fit wide range of installations, and simplifies replacement of an existing projector.
Multiple inputs and outputs
The VPL-EX242 projector includes a high wattage speaker (16 W) and a variety of interfaces (2xRGB, HDMI, S-Video, RS - 232C, RJ-45, USB Type-A, USB Type-B, and Microphone inputs) that accept a wide variety of inputs signals, greatly expanding system connection possibilities.
Variety of network functions – via LAN cable or wirelessly
When the projectors are installed in a local area network (LAN), their versatile network functions are available to any PC on that network. Installation can be via a LAN cable, and there is no need to install additional software on the PC. Up to four users can project PC images simultaneously; up to eight users (seven for wireless) can connect to one projector. The wireless presentation capability makes it easy to present files from your tablet device or smartphone. You can project jpg, pdf, PowerPoint, and other supporting formats (with a simple software download from Pixelworks), By attaching a USB memory device (not included), the operator can directly project data files stored on the USB memory device.
