Sony original SXRD? 1920 x 1080p Full HD Panels
SXRD is a display technology developed by the legendary television engineers at Sony to meet and exceed the demands of a High Definition image at its full 1080 line resolution. It is a 1920 x 1080p panel characterized by several key benefits -- full HD resolution, smooth film-like image with minimal screen door effects, high response times (2.5ms rise and fall), high contrast ratios and accurate color rendition.
200W Ultra-High-Pressure Lamp
The Sony VPL-HW10 works with 200 wattage lamp. With this high wattage, it projects at a high brightness of 1000lm. The high-wattage Ultra-High-Pressure lamp reproduces color accurately, beautifully, and naturally bottomless white, spectacular reds etc.
Fully Digital Signal Processing by BRAVIA Engine2
Incorporated BRAVIA Engine2 is a fully digital integrated picture enhancement engine, optimally engineered by Sony for front projectors. This is the centerpiece to BRAVIA picture quality. The BRAVIA Engine2 relies on a collection of Sony-unique algorithms such as noise reduction, and color enhancement to produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images.
x.v.Color for an unprecedented range of rich colors
Can display colors beyond the sRGB color space, a new international standard called "xvYCC" was developed to capture a wider range of colors that exist in the real world. It is approximately 1.8 times wider than the color space defined by the sRGB. xvYCC compatible products, when used in combination with each other, can reproduce colors found in nature more faithfully than ever before.
Deep color for finer color shades
The richness of color gradation is determined by how many bits of information the source contains. Conventional broadcast and video signals were created and transmitted at 8 bits. The VPL HW10 support Deep Color(4:2:2) is capable of receiving Deep Color signals from devices such as PS3, allowing for a smoother, finer reproduction of shades and tones.
New ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens
Equipped with an s "ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens*". This lens has extremely high resolution and sharp focus, specially engineered to optimize the high performance of the Full HD SXRD panel. Even when using corner of lens by adjustable lens shift function, the lens can project image with exact resolution, as its name suggests.
1.6 times Zoom Lens
Equipped with a short focal-length lens with 1.6 times zoom. With this short focal lens, users can fill an entire 80-inch screen at a focal length as short as 2.45m. Users can project large-sized images even onto limited space. Better still, the 1.6 times zoom gives the projector much wider flexibility for installation.
Adjustable Lens Shift
Has an adjustable "Lens Shift" function. Picture position (both horizontal and vertical) can be easily adjusted with the adjustable ?Lens shift? function, which expands the projector's placement and installation options without distorting image quality.
Superb Contrast Ratio with Advanced Iris 2
Equipped with "Advanced Iris 2". The Advanced Iris is an automatic "Iris"shutter, a technology that automatically detects and adjusts the picture brightness and contrast to reproduce the brightness of the input signal. This function realizes the HW10's high contrast of up to 30,000:1.
Superb Low Fan Noise 22dB
Runs very quietly with an advanced air discharge system. Through a highly efficient cooling system, fan noise is suppressed to a mere 22dB at lamp mode : low*. With whisper-quiet fan noise, users can concentrate on a movie or game in a quiet environment without distraction.
Two HDMI Inputs
It's configured with two HDMI digital input connectors, each capable of accepting a 1080p digital signal. This enables connection to 1080p output equipment such as Blu-ray Disc player.
24p True Cinema
Movies shot with a film camera have 24 frames per second. With the 24p True Cinema incorporated in the projector, all 24 progressive images are displayed in the same sequence as the original film source. In combination with next-generation video devices like Blu-ray Disc, the same film-like motion normally seen only in a theatre is now available in the comfort of your living room.
BRAVIA Theatre Sync
BRAVIA Theatre Sync simplifies and enhances the home theatre experience. Through the control capabilities of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), the devices sync with one another for intuitive operations such as One Touch Play and System Stand-by. The projector has two different applications as BRAVIA Theatre Sync: 1. One Touch Play -Insert a disc and press Play: the system turns on and the movie starts. 2. System Stand-by -Press the Power/Standby button on the projector remote: all connected A/V products shutdown at once.
Composite Video, S-Video, Component, and PC Input interfaces
The VPL-HW10 has various analog inputs such as Composite Video, S-Video, Component, and D-sub 15pin for PCs. Users can connect to all sorts of equipment.
RS-232C Capability
Includes a RS-232C terminal. This let users remotely control the projector by connecting a personal computer or general control equipment via RS-232C terminal.
RCP (Real Color Processing) Function
Has an "RCP (Real Color Processing)" function to adjust color and hue of each target color of the projected picture independently. With this capability, users can tweak the images to perfection.
Panel Alignment Function
Configured with a function that compensates gaps in character or color management. It is possible to select R(Red) or B(Blue) to make adjustments based on G(Green), and to adjust the horizontal and vertical direction by shifting full image of each color.
Noise Reduction Function
With "Noise Reduction" functions to reduce the roughness, or noise of the picture. In addition to traditional NR function, Mosquito Noise Reduction and Block Noise Reduction functions are newly available.
