Home Theater Video Projector
Cinema Black Pro (with Advanced Iris Function and Lamp
Control)
Advanced Iris Function and Lamp Control
High Contrast Ratio of up to 10,000:1 (Advanced Iris Auto Mode
ON)
All Range Crisp Focus Lens (ARC-F Lens)
Quiet operation with low fan noise of 23dB
Advanced Iris Function
This function reproduces bright images in bright scenes and deeper blacks in dark
scenes by dynamically changing the opening according to the level of input signal. Working with the Micro Lens
Array and WB (Wide View) film a 4.5 times improvement in contrast ratio can now be realized over previous models.
In the "Auto" mode an awesome contrast ratio of up to 6,000:1 can now be achieved.
Lens Shift Function
This function adjusts the picture position both vertically (total shift of 2 picture heights
maximum up to maximum down) and horizontally (total shift of 1 picture height maximum left to maximum right)
to allow for off center positioning and very flexible installation options. The projector can be mounted above the
top of the screen, or below the bottom of the screen, by up to
½ screen height. And it uses the full panel to maintain
the best possible resolution and highest possible picture quality.
ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens
The All Range Crisp Focus Lens delivers an 8% improvement in focus to the
center of the screen and a 20% improvement in focus to the corner of the screen.
RCP (Real Color Processing)
Real Color Processing allows the user to target specific colors on the picture and
fine adjust their color and hue without changing the overall picture's color and hue. For instance, the color of a
strawberry can be fine adjusted without impacting the skin tones. Or the blue in a sky can be adjusted without
affecting the color of water. And green grass can be adjusted without influencing the other colors in the picture.
Full Digital Processing
Sony's Full Digital Processing circuits include a number of processes designed to
optimize picture performance of any input source. The 12-Bit Panel Driver achieves excellent gradation
reproduction and a high level of detail. The I/P Converter attains a sharp image and superior diagonal line
reproduction. It can also process HD I/P conversion resulting in a precise and high density image. A significant
improvement in signal to noise ratio is also realized.
ImageDirector2 (Gamma Control Software)
ImageDirector2 enables gamma adjustments to the VPL-HS51 via
connection to a PC. Adjustments can be seen in real time and personal preferences can be stored in the PC for future
use. ImageDirector2 also works in conjunction with the Real Color Processing (RCP) function for precise picture
adjustment.
