Home cinema enthusiasts will be blown away by Sony’s flagship VPL-VW1000ES which employs an entirely new SXRD 4K panel, producing outstanding device contrast and 2,000 ANSI-lumens of brightness. When combined with Sony’s Iris3 technology, the projector can achieve an incredible 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast. With cinema quality picture reproduction levels, it can produce screen sizes of up to 300-inches (diagonally) for cinematic viewing in the comfort of the home.

“Coming off the technological advancement of our industry-leading Sony Digital Cinema 4K projectors, which has garnered critical acclaim in cinemas around the world with over 10,000 units installed, our new VPL-VW1000ES 4K home cinema projector has been created to not just meet but exceed the needs of the most discerning and demanding home entertainment enthusiasts. It will enable total immersion in the viewing experience whether it be movies, gaming or sports with unprecedented realism, delivered through colours and details unlike anything seen before in home entertainment,” says Sony Australia/New Zealand product manager for presentation display, professional solutions division Alex Lofts.

In addition to supporting 4K native resolution, the VPL-VW1000ES projector also features Sony’s exclusive Super Resolution 4K upscaler “Reality Creation” that enhances all content – SD or HD, 2D or 3D – to higher definition true 4K (DCI Format: 4096 x 2160p) picture signals.

“Sony continues to push the boundaries of high resolution entertainment; from the lens to the living room,” adds Alex.

“Reality Creation algorithms, utilising over 10 years of professional image capture development, dramatically improve still and motion picture clarity to deliver a picture far beyond what you would be accustomed to seeing at home”.

For greater versatility, it has a built-in IR transmitter for Full 4K 3D which drives the projector’s TDG-PJ1 USB-chargeable active shutter 3D glasses; picture position memory which memorises the position of the zoom lens; and it also supports 2D and 3D anamorphic films.

Since 2003, Sony has continued to improve and develop its proprietary SXRD panels resulting in pixels being reduced from 7μm to 4μm, as well as the reduction of the space between each pixel, for even distribution and accurate light reflection.

The VPL-VW1000ES offers a variety of installation options, including dual triggers, a 2.1 motorised zoom, expanded throw distances, an RS232 interface, control over IP and compatibility with virtually every home automation integrators’ devices.
