Sony Projector Vpl Hw10 Specifications

							x.v.Colour – more lifelike 
colours and natural tones
All models provide full support for 
the xvYCC colour space, the new 
industry standard encompassing 
a range nearly two times wider 
than the existing sRGB standard. 
Like all Sony products with this 
capability, it bears the x.v.Colour 
sub-brand, indicating to 
customers that it is ready for a 
future where the phrase ‘lifelike 
colour’ will take on a new depth 
of meaning.Deep Colour™ – trillions of colours 
instead of mere millions 
In addition, the BRAVIA VPL-HW10, 
VPL-VW80 and VPL-VW200 also 
offer Deep Colour, which 
increases the number of colours 
available within the boundaries 
defi ned by x.v.Colour from millions 
to trillions. Again, like x.v.Colour, 
this readies the projector for 
exciting developments in the 
way in which colour is captured 
and reproduced. Right now, 
the best way to appreciate the 
effects of Deep Colour is with 
PLAYSTATION
® 3 – new games will 
use it to push the boundaries of 
realism to even higher levels.
Panel alignment 
To ensure the best possible results, 
all models feature electronic panel 
alignment, allowing users to 
achieve an exact alignment of the 
red and blue elements within each 
pixel. Adjustments can be made 
by as little as 0.1 pixels to achieve 
optimum clarity.

Carl Zeiss lens
Nothing has a greater impact on 
picture quality than lenses. So it’s no 
wonder cinematographers insist on 
the legendary optics of Carl Zeiss. The 
professional-grade Vario-Tessar lens 
is composed of many separate glass 
elements bringing world renowned 
precision to the BRAVIA VPL-VW200 
home cinema projector. Pure Xenon Lamp
Sunlight
UHP Lamp
Pure Xenon Lamp
This Pure Xenon Lamp has
extraordinary spectral 
characteristics so it can produce 
a light spectrum similar to that 
of sunlight. This spectral profi le 
allows the Pure Xenon Lamp 
to generate staggering reds 
for richer, more natural colours overall, especially when paired 
with a High Defi nition video 
source. The capacity of the 
400 wattage lamp makes it 
exclusive to the VPL-VW200, 
with the exception of the 
professional screening rooms 
at major motion picture studios.Without a Pure Xenon Lamp, 
reds and whites are  at.With a Pure Xenon Lamp, 
reds and whites come alive.

™ CEC

							24p True Cinema  Movies shot with a fi lm camera have 24 frames per second. 
  With the 24p True Cinema incorporated in these projectors, all 
  24 progressive images are displayed in the same sequences as 
the original fi lm source. In combination with next generation video devices 
like the Blu-ray Disc, the same fi lm-like motion normally seen only in a 
cinema is now available in the comfort of your living room.Advanced Iris 2   The latest evolution of Sony’s own Advanced Iris function uses 
algorithms designed to analyse the histogram of each picture along 
with nonlinear amplifi cation to dynamically adjust the aperture for its 
optimum opening. The result is a stunningly high contrast ratio 
(VPL-VW80 60,000:1). Images in bright scenes are crisp and clear and 
black levels in dark scenes are deep and detailed. A manual 
adjustment option is also available to fi x the aperture opening for 
specifi c image conditions.
All Range Crisp Focus Lens (ARC-F)A specially developed crisp focus lens to take full advantage of the full 
1920 x 1080 HD resolution that the SXRD panel device offers. It delivers 
superior resolution and focus.Anamorphic Zoom ModeThe anamorphic zoom mode allows the projectors to compress the image 
vertically so that the attached anamorphic lens can widen it horizontally 
– allowing you to view fi lms in the impressive 2,35:1 aspect ratio seen in 
actual cinemas. BRAVIABest Resolution Audio Video Integrated ArchitechureImage Director 3 Gamma Adjustment Application Software. The VPL-VW80 and VPL-VW200 
work with Image Director 3 via the RS232C terminal. Image Director 3 
comes on a CD-ROM. This application software is suitable for fi ne gamma 
adjustments. With Image Director 3 on your PC, it is possible to adjust the 
gamma curve more easily and accurately thanks to the new zooming 
function, and you can choose a mode from Fine or Coarse to suit 
your taste.
Lens ShiftThe projected image position (both horizontal and vertical) can be easily 
adjusted with the Lens Shift function, which expands the projector’s 
placement and installation options without distorting the image quality. 
The VPL-HW10 lens can be manually adjusted: 65% vertically and 25% 
horizontally. The VPL-VW80 can be electronically adjusted using its 
motorised lens: 65% vertically and 25% horizontally. The VPL-VW200 can be
