High Picture Quality in WUXGA Projection
Delivering an Outstanding Brightness of 4,300 Lumens
Packing the most advanced projector technologies into
a low-profile design, the VPL-FH30 is an excellent choice,
delivering an outstanding brightness of 4,300 lumens* and
ultra high-quality images with WUXGA resolution.
It also delivers amazing installation flexibility and hassle-free
maintenance in a stylish design that blends into any decor.
This projector is equipped with an excellent lens shift function
and a standard 1.6x zoom lens, making image adjustment
easy. It is also compatible with the optional lenses designed
for Sony’s VPL-F40 Series, extending the range of installation
choices. The maintenance cycles of the lamp and cleaning
filters are synchronized and exceptionally long, which cuts
maintenance time and cost.
Overall, the VPL-FH30 delivers a low total cost of ownership, and additionally includes eco-friendly features such
as a long-lasting lamp and low power consumption.

Brilliant Color Performance
By combining an optical system that uses Sony’s BrightEra with
Long Lasting Optics™ technology* and a 3LCD projection
system, the VPL-FH30 offers a high brightness of 4,300 lumens.
* BrightEra with Long Lasting Optics is the Sony brand name for this optical
system, which uses a more advanced version of Sony's original BrightEra
technology. In addition to adopting LCD panels that have pixels with large
aperture ratios and inorganic alignment layers, BrightEra with Long Lasting
Optics technology also uses an inorganic layer for polarization plates to
greatly enhance reliability.
3LCD Projection Offers Brilliant Color Performance
The VPL-FH30 adopts a 3LCD projection system incorporating
three LCD panels. This
system enables the projector
to present bright and natural
images.

Installation Advantages
Lens Shift Function
The VPL-FH30 has a Lens Shift function which is controlled
from the projector control panel or the supplied Remote
Commander® unit. Using this function, the position of the
projected image can be moved vertically by up to 60% and
horizontally from -32% through to +32%. Images can be easily
adjusted to the desired settings during installation.
Convenient, Simple Projector Replacement
The standard 1.6x zoom lens enables installation flexibility
when replacing an existing projector with the VPL-FH30 –
there’s no need to change ceiling mount positions. For
applications where more than a standard lens is needed,
the VPL-FH30 is compatible with the optional VPLL-Z1024 and
VPLL-Z1032 accessory lenses designed for Sony’s current
VPL-F40 Series.
"Blend-in" Design
The VPL-FH30 showcases a newly designed low-profile chassis,
so the projector appears to blend into the ceiling or wall on
which it is mounted. The connector panel is located on the
front of the unit so its cables cannot be seen by the audience.
Good TCO and ECO-friendly Design
Long-lasting Lamp
By incorporating a newly developed high-performance lamp
and advanced lamp-control technology, the VPL-FH30 offers a
recommended lamp replacement time of approximately 4000
1
hours.*

Lamp and Filter Synchronized Maintenance
When the air filter must be cleaned, a timely message is
displayed on screen. The lamp and the filter are accessible
from the same side, so their maintenance can be performed
without uninstalling the projector. With typical usage, the
filters have an approximate
15000-hour cleaning
cycle. This is achieved by
a Quad Filter system which
means the filters only need
to be cleaned when the
lamp is changed, even in
harsh conditions, saving
maintenance time and
cost.

With this feature, users
can project two different
images at the same
time, greatly expanding
creative possibilities and
enabling exciting new
applications.
DICOM GSDF Simulation*
The VPL-FH30 is equipped with a new gamma mode, called
DICOM GSDF Simulation. This is ideal for viewing digital
medical imagery for non-diagnostic applications.
* Follows GSDF (Grayscale
Standard Display
Function) medical
standards for DICOM
(Digital Imaging and
Communications in
Medicine).
* This function is for training
and reference only, and
cannot be used for
medical diagnosis.

Screen Aspect
When screen and image aspect ratios do not match*, this
function fits the projected image to the screen. So, even when
images are switched between different aspect signals, the
projected image can always fit the screen.
* Using the same aspect ratio between screen and projector is ideal.
