IFA2013: Sony delivers a fully immersive home cinema experience with new 4K and Full HD 3D home cinema projectors.
4K VPL-VW500ES
VPL-HW55ES.
Sony announced two market-leading home cinema projectors, the 4K VPL-VW500ES and a Full HD 3D home projector, the VPL-HW55ES.
Both
projectors are designed to bring the high quality images of a big
screen cinema experience into the home via the power of Sony’s cutting
edge technology.
4K VPL-VW500ES home cinema projector
The
VPL-VW500ES home cinema projector has been introduced to expand Sony’s
4K home cinema range. It will sit alongside the VPL-VW1000ES, the
world’s first 4K native home cinema projector, launched in January 2012.
The
VPL-VW500ES offers DCI based 4096 x 2160 resolution, delivering the
very highest quality 4K content. The 4K experience is created using
native 4K SXRD panels that utilise Sony’s 4K expertise from the
professional digital cinema market. In addition, the projector has the
latest HDMI standard, HDMI 2.0, to accommodate 4K/60P* content, which
allows action to appear smoother, without the need for the electronic
enhancement of pixels. Supporting 4K native resolution, the VPL-VW500ES
also features an exclusive Super Resolution 4K upscaler called Reality
Creation. This dramatically enhances high definition 1080p content,
allowing viewers to enjoy 4K images with their existing Blu-ray Discs,
even in 3D.
Furthermore, the VPL-VW500ES has an original 4K up-scaling
algorithm designed for “Mastered in 4K” Blu-ray Discs from Sony Picture
Entertainment, which enable the viewer to enjoy more accurate 4K native
picture quality.
The VPL-VW500ES has 1,700 ANSI-lumen brightness
and a 200,000:1 contrast ratio which delivers a sharper picture quality.
The projector has rich colour reproduction thanks to TRILUMINOS display
technology, an enhanced optical engine design and auto-calibration
features. Its manual colour correction tool allows users to adjust the
hue, saturation and brightness to obtain a picture quality customised to
their tastes. Motionflow picture technology also works to deliver
clearer, less blurry images when watching fast-paced, cinematic action.
The
VPL-VW500ES is compact and has a front air exhaust cooling system. Its
flexibility means it is cable of projecting large distances without
having to alter the projector’s position in the room. The projector uses
a 2.06 zoom powered lens with a wide shift range which removes the
requirement for additional platform extensions in ceiling mounts. A
built-in RF transmitter provides further installation flexibility with a
strong wireless signal for wider coverage.
Full HD 3D VPL-HW55ES projector
The
Full HD 3D VPL-HW55ES projector is the next generation of Sony’s
industry-acclaimed and multiple-award winning VPL-HW50ES, announced at
IFA in 2012.
Enhanced light efficiency and an optimised optical
block, enables the VPL-HW55ES projector to reach 1,700 ANSI lumen
brightness, delivering clearer images in well-lit environments. The
VPL-HW55ES also has an approximately 5,000 hour long lasting lamp due to
its improved lamp cooling system.
An
optical engine upgrade, contrast enhancer technology and Advanced Iris3
technology enable a dynamic contrast ratio of more than 120,000:1. This
increases black and white levels without diminishing peak brightness to
maximise detail during darker scenes. Additional features such as
Sony’s Bright Cinema and Bright TV mode, with SXRD panels, enhances the
3D image even further. The projector also has Sony’s Reality Creation
technology.
The VPL-HW55ES has a built-in 3D IR transmitter. It is
also compatible with an external 3D RF transmitter which provides
further 3D synchronisation stability and coverage.
Both
projectors have wireless HDMI compatibility as optional accessories.
This enables them to receive a video signal from Blu-ray players and
game consoles, allowing the AV environment to remain clutter free.
Commenting
on the 4K VPL-VW500ES home cinema projector and the Full HD 3D
VPL-HW55ES, Tak Nakane, Product Manager at Sony Europe said: “The
VPL-VW500ES brings the cinema experience into the home like never before
and reinforces Sony’s commitment to lead in 4K innovation from lens to
living room. Innovations such as Sony’s 4K SXRD panels provide
unrivalled picture quality at high resolution to make the 4K dream a
more affordable reality. The addition of the VPL-HW55ES provides a
premium 3D home cinema experience and expands the product range our
customers can choose from.”
Both the VPL-VW500ES and the
VPL-HW55ES are available from the end of October. For further
