Sony is introducing two new "4K" large-venue hd
projectors that offer unprecedented features such
as a 4096 x 2160 pixel resolution and a high contrast ratio.
The new high definition projectors are suitable for an array
of large-venue applications, such as live events, staging,
auditoriums, digital cinema or command-and-control.
One is a 10,000 ANSI lumen model (SRX-R110); the other is
a 5,000 ANSI lumen model (SRX-R105). Both use a Silicon X-tal
Reflective Display (SXRD) imaging device that enables them
to achieve nearly four times the pixel count of current HD
displays. Complementing the projectors' outstanding pixel
resolution is a high contrast ratio, allowing the new models
to produce high-quality images with rich and precise color
tonal reproduction.
Sony first introduced SXRD technology in its QUALIA™
004 projector, a "2K" design targeted toward the
higher-end consumer residential and custom installation markets.
Now, the professional introduction of an SXRD-based design
offers the large venue market an alternative to existing projection
technologies.
"4K projection is important in order to display as much
of the content that was originally captured," said John
Scarcella, president of Sony Electronics' Broadcast and Production
Systems Division. "Another way to think of the differences
between 2K and 4K is to realize that a 2K device is equivalent
to one full high definition image. Our 4K device can literally
hold four 2K images."
With SXRD technology, pixels are set at a pitch of 8.5 micrometers,
from the center of one SXRD pixel to the center of the next,
with an inter-pixel gap of 0.35 micrometers.
"When an image is projected onto a large screen from
a 4K projector, the typical `cross-hatch' pattern just about
disappears," said Tom Mykietyn, director of content creation
for Sony Electronics. "For example, on a 27-foot wide,
16:9 screen, each pixel is only about the size of the letter
`e' in Liberty on a quarter. SXRD technology also enables
a quicker refresh rate to produce much smoother moving images."
The 5,000-lumen model is recommended for screen widths of
up to 25 feet, while the 10,000-lumen model is recommended
for screens of up to 40 feet. Sony is also planning to introduce
a higher brightness model for larger screens.
The high definition projectors from Sony are capable of
simultaneously displaying multiple high-definition images.
In single-screen mode, the full 4096 x 2160 pixel image is
projected. In dual-screen mode, two 1920 x 1080 images are
projected and in quad-screen mode, four 1920 x 1080 images
are projected. This multi-image capability makes the projectors
ideal for applications where multiple, simultaneous high-definition
views are required.
The ability to achieve high-quality image flexibility with
one projector allows facilities to increase their cost-effectiveness
by reducing equipment costs and power consumption by running
fewer pieces of gear.
In addition to their high performance, the new projectors
are designed for ease of installation. Option cards enable
an array of connectivity including analog RGB, SMPTE292M and
SMPTE 372M Dual Link input formats. Optional lenses allow
the new projectors to fill screens up to 70 feet wide or as
small as 15 feet.
