2 The New VPL-C Series at a Glance The new Sony VPL-C Series is composed of six projectors, each specifically designed to match your requirements for powerful presentations in both the classroom and conference room. The VPL-CW125 boasts WXGA resolution, which is ideal for presentations from a wide-screen source such as a WXGA PC or a 16:9 aspect- ratio video. The rest of the VPL-C Series of projectors has native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution for projecting high-quality images. The brightness range of these projectors is 2700 to 3500 lumens depending on the model, enabling bright presentations even in ambient light conditions. Furthermore, a newly developed lens provides crisp and clear images with minimal aberration. Designed with installation flexibility and easy maintenance in mind, the new Sony VPL-C Series is a delight for system integrators and maintenance staff. These projectors have multiple video and audio interfaces, enabling them to be configured with a variety of equipment. They are also designed for easy lamp replacement and filter cleaning. The VPL-CW125, VPL-CX155, and VPL-CX125 each have a network interface that enables presentations and maintenance over IP networks. A number of other useful features includes vertical and horizontal keystone* 1 correction, smart APA, and direct power on/off. For classroom settings, security features such as a control panel key lock, password authentication system, and a security bar can prove indispensable. The attractive, bright, and flexible VPL-C Series of projectors is ideal for use in medium-sized corporate conference rooms, school classrooms, and several other environments. *1Horizontal keystone correction is available on the VPL-CW125, VPL-CX155, and VPL-CX125 only.

3 FEATURES High Picture Quality and Bright Images The VPL-CW125 incorporates three high- aperture 0.74-inch LCD panels with WXGA resolution so that images from WXGA sources are projected with the correct aspect ratio. This highly efficient projector achieves a brightness of 3000 lumens from a 200 W lamp. The rest of the projectors in the new VPL-C Series lineup provide native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution with a brightness of 3500, 3000, or 2700 lumens depending on the model. In addition, all of these projectors incorporate a newly designed ACF (Advanced Crisp Focus) glass lens for projecting crisp and beautiful images right to the very corners of the screen (Fig. 1). Choose the right projector to match the environment. VPL-C Series Conventional Projectors Fig. 1 ACF Lens vs. Conventional Lens (simulated images) 3LCD Projection System Because the new VPL-C Series uses a 3LCD projection system, projected images are bright and natural. 3LCD is a projection system using three LCD panels, which is also known as HTPS (High-Temperature Polysilicon). This system provides high light transmission and excellent color reproduction. It also provides smooth gradients in dark areas, and even helps prevent color breakup. Installation Flexibility and Easy Maintenance Multiple Interfaces for Flexible Configurations The VPL-C Series of projectors accepts a wide variety of input signals, including component and composite video, S-Video (Y/C), and computer signals up to SXGA+ (fV: 60 Hz) – providing multiple source options. They also have a monitor output and audio inputs and outputs, providing flexibility for classroom installations. The VPL-CW125, VPL-CX155, and VPL-CX125 models each have a network interface for even more flexibility, enabling presentations and control via a network. Easy Lamp Replacement and Filter Cleaning (Minimal Maintenance) (Fig. 2) When a lamp needs to be replaced in any of the VPL-C Series projectors, a message will appear on the screen to inform the user. Filter cleaning is recommended at the same time as lamp replacement to greatly reduce the number of maintenance events compared to conventional projectors. The lamp is easily accessible from inside the rear cover, while the filter can be reached from the front of the projector. This means that lamp replacement and filter cleaning can be performed without uninstalling the projector. Fig. 2 Easy Lamp Replacement and Filter Cleaning SONY53157_VPLC 6/27/07 9:38 AM Page 3
High Security (Control Panel Key Lock, Password Authentication System, Security Bar, and Kensington Lock) Both a control panel key lock and a password authentication system are available to help prevent unauthorized use of the VPL-C Series projectors. A built-in security bar or Kensington TM lock can also be used to help prevent theft. Useful Remote Commander Units Multi-Function Remote (Fig. 3) The supplied Remote Commander unit for the VPL-CW125, VPL-CX155, and VPL-CX125 is useful for both setting up the projector during installation and changing settings for a presentation. This unit has buttons for direct input selection, so users do not have to toggle through the entire range of inputs to select the desired one. With the projector ID function, each projector in a multiple-projector installation can be controlled independently from a single remote. Compact Card-Type Remote (Fig. 4) For simple operation, the VPL-CX150, VPL-CX120, and VPL-CX100 are supplied with a card-type Remote Commander unit that can be used to adjust projector settings such as digital zoom and audio volume or to activate APA, picture muting, and picture freeze functions. ID Function for Multi-Projector Installation With a built-in ID function, the VPL-C Series of projectors can be controlled independently using a single Remote Commander unit. For multi-projector installations in a single room, this feature is indispensable during both installation and operation. Vertical and Horizontal Digital Keystone Correction Both vertical digital keystone correction and the Side Shot *3(horizontal keystone correction) functions are available on the VPL-C Series of projectors. These allow images to be projected with their correct geometry when space is limited or when the projector is placed off-axis from the center of the screen. *3The Side Shot function is available on the VPL-CW125, VPL-CX155, and VPL-CX125 only. Maintenance via Network A number of functions on the VPL-CW125, VPL-CX155, and VPL-CX125 can be performed remotely via a web browser. *4For example, the projector’s current status can be verified and simple controls can be performed, such as powering the unit on or off. Also, the system can be set up to send automatic e-mail reports to designated recipients for scheduled maintenance, including projected lamp life and error reports. *4Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher is required. Quiet and Efficient Operation Thanks to a new and unique Sony cooling system, the VPL-C Series operates with a very low fan noise, allowing audiences to concentrate on the speaker during presentations. The efficient cooling system minimizes cabinet/exhaust air temperatures and dust ingress, which ultimately improves reliability.

Network Presentations When the VPL-CW125, VPL-CX155, or the VPL-CX125 projectors are installed on a LAN, presentations can be projected from any networked PC *5– whether connected via a LAN cable or wirelessly. Switching from presenter to presenter is as easy as clicking a mouse – there’s no fussing with cables. *5Requires supplied application software to be installed on the PC. High-speed Image Transfer over IP Networks Because these projectors employ efficient compression and transmission techniques, they can receive and project images via IP networks for effective presentations from any networked PC. In fact, they can even handle animated Microsoft ®PowerPoint®presentations. Network Presentations Using up To Five Projectors Up to five projectors can be connected to a network, and the image from a single PC can be projected by each of them. This feature is ideal for both large venues and multiple rooms in which images have to be projected from various locations. Network Presentations Almost Anywhere By manually registering a PC’s IP address to these projectors, images can be projected not only across the country, but across the globe. This is ideal for applications such as distance learning and long-distance corporate communication.
