Minimal Maintenance, and Flexible Installation

Because no two organizations are alike, Sony aims to meet diverse installation and budget requirements with its range

of professional laser and lamp projectors. There are models to suit every commercial, academic, large-scale, and

entertainment application. The VPL-FHZ65/FHZ60/FHZ57/FWZ65/FWZ60 laser projectors are ideal for a wide range of

business and education applications. Their powerful Z-Phosphor

3LCD projection engine to deliver extremely bright, rich, and stable colors. For applications better-suited to lamp-

based projection, the VPL-FHZ65/FHZ60/FHZ57/FWZ65/FWZ60 projectors offer cost-effective options that nevertheless

deliver high-quality performance. You can choose brightness of 6,000 lumens (VPL-FHZ65/FH65), 5,000 lumens (VPL-

FHZ60/FH60) or 4,100 lumens (VPL-FHZ57) with WUXGA resolution images, and each model uses BrightEra panel

technology to reproduce natural and vivid color. All of these projectors are designed to deliver enhanced picture

quality with advanced features such as Reality Creation and Contrast Enhancer- both of these technologies are already

used by Sony’s home theater projection systems for high-end consumer entertainment. The Reality Creation engine

analyzes and processes every input signal to refine detail, clarity, and sharpness for naturally up-scaled image. The

Contrast Enhancer feature expands the perceived dynamic range of the signal in real-time. Both features contribute

to enhancing the visual experience wherever these projectors are installed. The laser projectors (VPL-FHZ65/FHZ60/

FHZ57/FWZ65/FWZ60) pack all the benefits of laser technology into a blend-in design. A laser light source means

avoiding lamp-related problems: lamps need to slowly warm up and cool down, they limit the tilt angle, and typically

they force a compromise between high brightness and high resolution. The VPL-FHZ65/FHZ60/FHZ57/FWZ65/FWZ60

deliver instant on/off. Turn the projector on and you have immediate full brightness. Turn it off and you’re done. You’re

not even limited in the number or duration of on/off cycles. It’s the total convenience that today’s users expect. All

four models have a built-in, HDBaseT

using single category cable which runs all the video, audio, control, and IP signals up to 328 ft’ (100 m). These

projectors also have a new integrated terminal cover design which allows installation without any visible cable runs

from any angle. The integrated cover also helps you to manage cables without attaching any external cable cover

boxes (avoiding a bulky installation). In addition, these projectors have a wide powered lens shift, which allows

their installation in challenging environments. And each can be combined with wide variety of optional lenses to

suit specific installation requirements. Available optional lenses include 0.33:1 ultra short throw and tele-zoom with

a throw range of up to 4.84:1, with a bayonet lens mounting system for easier, quicker lens interchange. Offering a

stylish blend-in design, tidy cable management, and low fan noise, these five projectors can fit smoothly into almost

any environment – from entertainment venues to academic institutions to corporate spaces.

Very High Image Quality with 3LCD Projection System and Z-Phosphor Laser Light Source

Combining a Z-Phosphor laser light source with a 3LCD optical system, the ground-breaking VPL-FHZ65, VPL-FHZ60 and VPL-FHZ57 projectors generate a powerful 6,000 lumens, 5,000 lumens and 4,100 lumens respectively of color light output at WUXGA resolution (FWZ65/FWZ60 at WXGA resolution). Each projector’s light engine uses blue laser as its light source, which excites a phosphorous material that in turn creates white light. The white light is delivered to the 3LCD optical system, which generates constant, vibrant RGB color through a color-splitting process. This produces brightness sufficient for a broad range of commercial, academic, and entertainment applications.

Crisp, Detail-packed WUXGA Resolution Images

These projectors deliver an amazing WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200), which exceeds Full-HD resolution (1920 x 1080). It also allows projection in a wider display range. More information can be displayed on screen, so you can see the whole page without scrolling. Extremely clear and detailed high-quality images are projected, even on a large screen, and native Full-HD images can be projected full screen. These ground-breaking projectors are the ultimate tool for projecting images in a range of applications requiring exceptional detail.

Advanced Picture Refinement Technologies

• See Extreme Clarity in Every Pixel

Developed for Sony’s home theater projectors, the Reality Creation function has now been adapted for the VPL-FHZ65, VPL-FHZ60, VPL-FHZ57,VPL-FH65 and VPL-FH60. It reproduces the texture and color of the original WUXGA (VPL-FWZ65, VPL-FWZ60, VPL-FW65, VPL-FW60 at WXGA) signal by restoring missing information lost during packaging of the original contents to disk and broadcast transmission.

Energy-efficient Functions

• Auto Dimming Mode

The laser projectors are equipped with a light source dimming function. After 10 seconds of a static signal feed, the light source dims by approximately 15% which is barely noticeable. If the VPL-FHZ65/FHZ60/FHZ57/ FWZ65/FWZ60 are left powered on while not in use, after a set period of time the unit will automatically detect no change of signal input and will dim the light source to as low as approximately 5% of original brightness to significantly reduce energy consumption.

• Auto Light Source Control for Energy Saving

The brightness of the light source’s output is automatically adjusted depending on the brightness of the projected image, to avoid unnecessary power consumption. When showing darker images that don’t require high brightness, the light source output decreases.
