Key Features

3D Brilliance for your Home

With this projector, you can experience
the award-winning combination of
Sony’s explosive 3D imagery and our
new, unique Dynamic Lamp Control
Technology.

Motionflow

Motionflow technology
allows the VPL-HW30ES to display
twice as many images per second. This
algorithm, unique to Sony, creates
completely new images based on the
incoming signal, and inserts them
between the original frames to reproduce
smoother, sharper motion.

SXRD Panel Technology

SXRD panels minimise the gaps between
pixels to 0.2μm for sharper, dot-free
images, making it possible to reproduce
240 frames per second. The opening
and closing of the shutters on the 3D
glasses are synchronised to ensure that
each eye receives the correct image,
thus reducing crosstalk to a minimum.
The result is stunningly detailed, high­definition 3D images that you believe you
can reach out and touch.

Dynamic Lamp Control Technology

When each of the shutters on your 3D
glasses opens, Dynamic Lamp Control
Technology automatically boosts the
brightness (approximately 3x brighter) in
the image to that eye, maximising the
picture’s impact and the lamp’s
efficiency.
lose any brightness and attain the optimal
visual experience from the comfort of your
own home.

Separate 2D and 3D Modes

The VPL-HW30ES allows you to pre-select
separate parameters for 2D and 3D content
under a variety of application modes –
Dynamic, Standard, Game, Living, Cinema
and Presentation – as well as automatically
recognising 2D or 3D input.

Advanced Iris3 Control

This is an automatic Iris control feature that
enhances the contrast in accordance with
the scene. It maximises black and white
levels without diminishing peak brightness.

Extremely Low Fan Noise (22dB)

The VPL-HW30ES runs very quietly with an
advanced air discharge system. Through a
highly efficient cooling system, fan noise is
suppressed to a mere 22dB. With whisper­quiet fan noise, you can concentrate on a
movie or game in a quiet environment
without distraction.

New Remote Commander

The VPL-HW30ES is supplied with a new
remote commander, with backlit buttons for
ease of use in darkened rooms, one-touch
control for many popular adjustments and
easy grip for practical convenience.

Adjustable Lens Shift

The VPL-HW30ES has an adjustable ‘Lens
Shift’ function. Picture position (both
horizontal and vertical) can be easily
adjusted with the motorised adjustable ‘Lens
shift’ function. This expands the projector’s
placement and installation options without
distorting image quality.
Vertical range: Max. +/- 0.65V
Horizontal range: Max.+/- 0.25H

Panel Alignment Function

The VPL-HW30ES is configured with a
function that compensates for gaps in
character or colour management. It is
possible to select R(Red) or B(Blue) to make
adjustments based on G(Green), and to
adjust the horizontal and vertical direction
by shifting the full image or selecting points
of each colour.

RCP (Real Color Processing) Version 2

The VPL-HW30ES offers an “RCP (Real Color
Processing)” function to adjust the colour

and hue of each target colour of the
projected picture independently.
Additionally, version 2 adds the ability to
adjust the brightness at the same time. With
this capability, you can tweak the images to
perfection.

Fully Digital Signal Processing

The incorporated high quality Engine in the
VPL-HW30ES is a fully digital integrated
picture enhancement engine, optimally
engineered by Sony for front projectors. This
high quality Engine relies on a collection of
Sony-unique algorithms such as noise
reduction and colour enhancement to
produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images.

BRAVIA Sync

BRAVIA Sync simplifies and enhances the
home theatre experience. Through the
control capabilities of HDMI (High Definition
Multimedia Interface), the devices sync with
one another for intuitive operations such as
One Touch Play and System Stand-by.
