VPL-FH500L
7,000 Lumens Colour Light Output WUXGA projector for high end display applications
Ultra high brightness and low maintenance - great
performance for any environment
The VPL-FH500L’s outstanding portfolio of features allows it to offer class-leading projection performance
even in the most challenging of environments. Its
7,000 Lumens Colour Light Output brightness, its
zoom and its wide lens shift range, allow it to deliver
the clearest image where other projectors would
struggle - even in high ambient light.
Once installed, the VPL-FH500L has excellent image
capabilities and a long lifespan that delivers low Total
Cost of Ownership. Sony’s BrightEra technology improves and maintains colour purity throughout the life
of the system by protecting the LCD panels against
harmful ultra violet light. Clever features such as dual
auto-switching lamps, and synchronised lamp and filter replacement cycles, reduce maintenance costs and
downtime.
Featuring the usual wide range of inputs, an external
monitor connection for the presenter’s convenience,
and advanced projection capabilities such as side-byside image projection and DICOM medical training,
the VPL-FH500L is the projector of choice for venues
that demand the highest quality in the most practical,
flexible form.

Dual Lamp Capacity, Auto-Switched, Giving Effective 6,000-8,000 Hours’ (High/Std) Lamp Life
When a lamp reaches the end of its life, there’s no
downtime: the projector automatically switches to a
second lamp, already in place, doubling the effective
lamp life and halving the number of maintenance visits required, yielding lower Total Cost of Ownership.
This product comes with PrimeSupport – fast, hasslefree repairs and a helpline offering expert technical
advice. Which gives you the peace of mind that Sony
is looking after your equipment, and your business.
Lamp/Filter Replacement Cycles Synchronised
Synchronised lamp and filter replacement effectively

same time, making the projector ideal for applications
like video conferencing and DICOM medical training.
DICOM GSDF Simulation
The VPL-FH500L offers DICOM GSDF Simulation
(HDMI with computer signals), which conforms to
GSDF (Grayscale Standard Display Function) of medical standards for DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine).
Wide Range of Image Adjustments
This wide range of image adjustments allows the projector to be installed in almost any location. Where
equipment is being upgraded, installers are more
likely to be able to use existing mounts. In new installations, they are more likely to be able to work
around existing obstructions.
