VPL-F Series Solid Installation Projector V PL- F X37 VPL- FX35 VPL- FX30
2 Installation Flexibility and Hassle-free Maintenance with a Stylish Unobtrusive Design The VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 offer amazing installation flexibility and hassle-free maintenance, along with a stylish yet inconspicuous design that blend into any decor. These projectors are equipped with an excellent lens shift function and a standard 1.6x zoom lens, making image adjustment easy. They are also compatible with the optional lenses designed for Sony’s VPL-F40 Series, extending the range of installation choices. The maintenance cycles of the lamp and cleaning filters are synchronized and exceptionally long, which cuts maintenance time and cost. In addition, VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 are designed to deliver a low total cost of ownership, and include energy-efficient features, thanks to its long-lasting lamp and low power consumption. Packing the most advanced projector technologies into a low-profile design, the VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 are an excellent choice, delivering a dramatic brightness and high-quality images with XGA resolution. FEATURES “Blend-in” Design The VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 showcases a newly designed low-profile chassis, so the projector appears to blend into the ceiling or wall on which it is mounted. The connector panel is located on the front of the unit so its cables cannot be seen by the audience. High Picture Quality Brilliant Color Performance The VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35, and VPL-FX30 combine a new-generation optical system, which uses Sony BrightEra with Long Lasting Optics™ technology*, and a 3LCD projection system to achieve high picture quality in XGA (1024 x 768) resolution and high brightness (6,000, 5,000, and 4,200 lumens, respectively). * BrightEra with Long Lasting Optics is the Sony brand name for a new generation of optical system, which uses a more advanced version of Sony’s original BrightEra technology. In addition to adopting LCD panels that have pixels with large aperture ratios and inorganic alignment layers, BrightEra with Long Lasting Optics technology also uses an inorganic layer for polarization plates to greatly enhance reliability. 3LCD Projection Offers Brilliant Color Performance The VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 adopt a 3LCD projection system incorporating three LCD panels. This system enables the projector to present bright and natural images. High Resolution Lens The VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 incorporate a high- resolution lens known as the All Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens. Its large diameter and fine pitch ensure crisp pictures. 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction The VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 incorporate 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma correction, achieving smoother gradations and richer gray scale. I/P Conversion and Film Mode The video signal processing technology that Sony has incorporated in the VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 offer I/P conversion and 2-3 pull-down to generate high-quality images with outstanding clarity.

3 Cost-efficient, Energy-efficient Design Long-lasting Lamp By incorporating a newly developed high-performance lamp and advanced lamp-control technology, the VPL-FX30 offers a recommended lamp replacement time of approximately 5,000 hours.* *Based on lowest wattage setting. Values are approximate and may vary due to environmental conditions and usage. Low Power Consumption The VPL-FX30 offers remarkably low power consumption, which can help users save on their electricity expenses. ECO MODE Key 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. Convenient, Simple Projector Replacement The standard 1.6x zoom lens enables installation flexibility when replacing an existing projector with the VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 – there’s no need to change ceiling mount positions. For applications where more than a standard lens is needed, the VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 are compatible with the optional VPLL-Z1024 and VPLL-Z1032 accessory lenses designed for Sony’s current VPL-FX40 Series. Centered Lens Design The centered lens provides symmetry for a balanced installation, and makes setup very simple. Conventional 1 Shorter throw ratioVPL-FX37 VPL-FX35 VPL-FX30Conventional 2 Longer throw ratio ECO MODE key Installation Advantages Lens Shift Function The VPL-FX37, VPL-FX35 and VPL-FX30 have Lens Shift function which is controlled from the projector control panel or the supplied Remote Commander unit. Using this function, the position of the projected image can be moved vertically by up to 51% and horizontally from -33% through to +33%. Images can be easily adjusted to the desired settings during installation.

The lamp and the filter are accessible from the same side, so their maintenance can be performed without uninstalling the projector. With typical usage, the filters have an approximate 15000-hour cleaning cycle. This is achieved by a Quad Filter system which means the filters only need to be cleaned when the lamp is changed, even in harsh conditions, saving maintenance time and cost.
