 VPL-CH375/CH355
VPL-CH300 Series data projectors deliver an outstanding brightness of up\
 to 5000 lumens and ultra high-quality 
images with WUXGA resolution. 
Sonys 3LCD BrightEra™ panel technology provides higher picture quali\
ty, substantially brighter images, higher 
efciency, consistent color stability, and longer durability. 
In addition, this series delivers installation exibility, environmen\
t-friendly features, and a low total cost of 
ownership, in a stylish design that blends into any decor. The ne le\
ns shift/zoom capability and the image 
correction features easily allow users to t any image onto the scree\
n, even from an offset projection angle.
These projectors allow simple connectivity using an HDBaseT™* digital\
 interface multi-signal transmission system. 
This provides a single-cable, cost-effective, long-distance, and high-qu\
ality digital transmission solution. 
Additionally, these projectors are economically designed for optimum ene\
rgy efciency, thanks to energy saving 
features, and have all the capabilities and functionality that you would\
 expect from Sony, particularly in terms of 
installation, projection, usability, and maintenance.

High-resolution WUXGA Image
The VPL-CH300 Series delivers an amazing resolution of WUXGA (1920 x 1200), which exceeds Full-HD resolution 
(1920 x 1080). It also allows projection in a wider display range. More information can be displayed on screen, so 
the user can see the whole page without scrolling.
Extremely clear and detailed high-quality images are projected, even on a large screen, and native Full-HD 
images can be projected full screen. The ground-breaking VPL-CH300 Series offers the ultimate solution for 
projecting images in a range of applications requiring exceptional detail.

3LCD BrightEra™ Optical System Create WUXGA 5,000 lm* High Brightness
and Vivid Color Images
Thanks to the optical system continuously projecting three basic colors, each projector offers excellent light 
efficiency and this, ensures colorful and bright images. Sony’s BrightEra™ panels deliver improved panel light 
resistance, higher resolution, high brightness, and increased panel reliability. High color reproducibility is important 
especially when projecting colorful content, such as materials typically used in classrooms.

High-resolution Lens
The VPL-CH300 Series incorporates a high-resolution lens 
known as the Advanced Crisp Focus (ACF) lens. Its large 
diameter and fine pitch ensure crisp pictures.

Simple Installation by HDBaseT*
HDBaseT is a multi-signal transmission system via a 
single cable, which simplifies the installation task. It 
cuts total system cost by reducing not just cabling 
requirements but also the number of signal extenders 
and receiver boxes.
One Cat5e/6 cable can run up to 100 meters, 
reducing the number of cable runs and eliminating 
the need for signal extenders. And fewer signal 
extenders and receiver boxes mean fewer potential 
points of failure. In addition, Cat5e/6 cables are much 
easier to terminate than cables such as HDMI, and 
therefore can be simply and quickly terminated even 
onsite during the installation process.

Vertical/Horizontal Keystone Distortion
With these projectors, keystone distortion of vertically 
up to +/- 30 degrees and horizontally up to +/- 20 
degrees can be digitally corrected via the on-screen 
operation menu and/or the Remote Commander™ 
unit. This enables detailed images to be projected with 
their correct geometry, even when installation space is 
limited.
Advanced Geometric Correction
Each corner can be grabbed and fitted squarely to 
the desired position. This feature is useful when offset 
projection is necessary.

Blend-in Design
VPL-CH300 Series projectors come in white, and have a 
simple, stylish design that fits any modern environment. 
A flat top surface enables unobtrusive ceiling 
mounting.

Installation Advantages     
						

							5
Energy Efficient with Long-lasting Lamp
By incorporating a high-performance lamp and 
advanced lamp-control technology, Sony’s projectors 
deliver an extremely long lamp replacement time.
Synchronized Maintenance
The lamp and dust filters require the same 
maintenance interval. Synchronizing the timing of lamp 
and filter maintenance enables users to reduce the 
numbers of maintenance ‘ladder climbs’.
Auto Power Saving Function
•	Auto	Mode* (Auto Brightness Adjustment Function)
The brightness of the lamp’s output is automatically 
adjusted depending on the brightness of the 
projected image, to avoid unnecessary power 
consumption. When showing darker images that do 
not require high brightness, lamp output decreases.

•	Blank
VPL-CH300 Series projectors can temporarily disable 
video signal output. This function is easily operated 
with just the touch of a button on the supplied Remote 
Commander™ unit. In addition, this function allows 
blank image projection with low power consumption 
using lamp control technology.

•Lamp	Dimming	Function
These projectors are equipped with a lamp dimming 
function. After 10 seconds of a static signal feed, the 
lamp dims by approximately 15% which is hardly 
noticeable. If one of these projectors is left powered 
on when not in use, after a set period of time, it 
automatically detects no change of signal input and 
will dim the lamp to as low as approximately 30% 
of original brightness to significantly reduce energy 
consumption.
