							Low Fan Noise
VPL-HS20’s fan noise 28dB is the lowest level in the Sony projector lineup. It is barely noticeable, which is critical for
home applications.
Micro Lens Array and WV Film
By incorporating these two technolgies, the VPL-HS20 achieves superb Hig\
h Contrast.. The “Contrast Ratio” of LCD
projectors is the difference between the On/Off status of the liquid crystal elements, which are in between the two
polarizers. As the light passes through the panels the liquid crystal is “On”; which means the light \
should be shut
out. To improve the contrast we implemented 3 main measures. First, we added Micro Lens Array (MLA) to the LCD
panel to increase brightness. Then we add Wide View film (WV) to shift brightness (increased by MLA) for deeper
blacks. Third, we modify the optical unit to reduce the light leak more than usual.
Cinema Black Pro
Allows for Lamp (low, high) and Iris (on, off) control for better contrast and brightness. This menu driven feature
turns the Iris shutter Off (open) for high brightness and standard contrast or On (closed) for low brightness and
higher contrast. The contrast ratio is 1300:1.
Optical Engine Power (OEP)
This projectors optical unit has a maximum of 1400 ANSI lumen that is optimized\
 for video content. When com-
pared to a data grade projector showing the same video content, the HS20 has a higher brightness\
 rating.
12 Bit Panel Drive with New I/P Converter
Full digital chassis by reducing the A/D and D/A conversions  this new panel driver achieves four\
 times more color
gradation compared to the previous 10 bit panel drive (VPL-HS10). The new interlace to progressive converter
processes both interlace and progressive HD for a more detailed and smooth images.
HDMI-HDTV Interface (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
Has been added for the latest generation in high definition television c\
onnectivity. A single wire delivers a full digital
uncompressed HD signal that can be received from any HDMI compatible set top boxes.
