LCD Data Projector

VPL-CS1

Ultra-compact and extremely lightweight

Thanks to newly developed 0.7-inch LCD panels and
a unique design, the VPL-CS1 is ultra-compact and
weighs approx. 2.9 kg (6.4 lbs.). What’s more, this
projector comes with a carrying case and has an
easy-to-grip handle and detachable strap that allow
you to take it anywhere.

600 ANSI lumens brightness

Despite its compact dimensions, the VPL-CS1
incorporates advanced Sony technologies that provide
an impressive 600 ANSI lumens of
brightness. A new 120 W UHP lamp
and brighter lens, together with
Sony’s unique 0.7-inch SVGA LCD
panels and optical unit produce
industry-leading levels of image clarity.

Quiet operation

Thanks to its new cooling structure, the VPL-CS1
operates with a low noise level. The use of sapphire
glass on the polarizer dramatically reduces heat
buildup, making only two internal fans necessary.

Exquisite form, handy function

The sleek front hood not only protects the lens from
damage but also serves as the projector’s front
stand when flipped open. The rear stand extends
simultaneously when the front hood is opened.

Computer friendly

With a hot plug-and-play USB hub and Sony
“PROJECTOR STATION” software*, the VPL-CS1
makes for professional presentations. The projector is
fully controllable from a computer, and presentation
files registered in the software can be opened by
pressing the function keys on the supplied RM-PJM1
remote control unit.
