Sony Electronics today announced the VPL-PX11 portable SuperBright projector, which can be integrated easily with other A/V equipment for use in a variety of environments including, corporate meeting rooms, classrooms and houses of worship. By adding optional lens adaptors, the projector can accommodate shorter or longer throw distances beyond the standard lens.

The portable VPL-PX11 LCD projector is the latest addition to Sony's line of "P" series solutions, which also includes VPL-PX15 and VPL-FX50 networkable projectors.

The VPL-PX11 LCD projector offers 2000 ANSI* lumens, features 1024 x 768 XGA resolution, and projects images as large as 300 inches (viewable area measured diagonally).

To address the needs of integrators, a "monitor out" connector allows the projector to automatically switch between two RGB input connectors. It also features audio follow capability, which allows the variable audio output to switch automatically with a change between the video or RGB inputs, as well as composite and YC video signals and the RS-232 industry standard interface used within popular industry control systems. During operation, the projector outputs just 34dB of noise, making it virtually imperceptible to the audience.

Image Enhancements

The VPL-PX11lcd projector features Sony's three-panel LCD technology, which provides linear color saturation over the entire gray scale area. Unlike color wheel systems, the projector can re-create red, green and blue signals at all times, reproducing brilliant video images. Even when reproducing the brightest scenes, colors stay vivid and well defined.

Sony's 3D Gamma Correction technology enables the VPL-PX11 projector to produce uniform images and natural color. This feature allows for the adjustment of multiple individual points on the image, across various levels of luminance gray scale, enabling consistent and uniform color reproduction from the darkest to the brightest images.

Multiscan™ technology allows the projector to receive and reproduce images with a horizontal frequency of 15 to 91kHz and 43 to 85Hz vertical refresh frequency, making it compatible with a broad range of computer and video source equipment. A special button is on the remote and the chassis to allow one step adjustment of horizontal size, dot phase, and scan frequency thanks to a feature called Auto Pixel Alignment.

Also, Sony's RGB enhancement circuitry actually makes it possible to adjust the sharpness of RGB source material ensuring that spreadsheets and other images with fine detail can always be adjusted to look their best.

User-Friendly Features

Simplicity is another high point on this projector. A laser pointer remote control, digital zoom, picture freeze and digital keystone adjustment makes life easier for presenters. The picture freeze function allows presenters to switch between a presentation and the display of a document or other program. The last displayed image will be retained on the screen until the presenter releases the freeze function.

Designed for Flexible Room Integration or Portable Use

The projector's chassis features rounded edges and sculptured lines. It features a three-point landing design, which can be adjusted for height and tilt. In addition to floor or rear-screen installation, for added installation flexibility, the projector can be mounted to a ceiling with a bracket. Weighing about 11 pounds, the projector also has a sturdy handle for transportation from room to room.

Warranty and Technical Support Program

Sony offers a two-year parts and labor warranty, including one year of the company's On-Time Support program. This program provides users with 24-hour, seven-day a week, technical support, in addition to providing advance shipment of lamps, expedited 48-hour turnaround time for service and emergency loaner equipment.

The Sony VPL-PX11 portable LCD projectors is now available for a suggested list price of $5,200. For more information visit www.sony.com/projectors or call 1-800-686-7669.
