Utilize Interactive Function to Deliver Powerful Presentations with an Ultra
Short Throw Projector
Sony’s VPL-S500 Series data projectors are ideal for education, training, corporate applications, and a range of other commercial
uses. The VPL-S500 Series projectors achieve large-screen projection from very short distances thanks to an ultra-powerful short
1
throw lens. The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SW525 offer WXGA projection with powerful 3000 lumens*
and 2500 lumens*1 respectively,
and the VPL-SX535 offers XGA 3000 lumens*1. Auto lamp dimming, max 6,000h expected lamp replacement timing, vertical
4% / horizontal 2% optical lens shift (V : 4% / H : 3% for VPL-SX535) and supplied wall mount bracket helps reduce total cost of
ownership. Packed with advanced projector technologies into a stylish design, the VPL-S500 Series projectors are an excellent
choice.
Create Interactive Collaboration Space with VPL-SW535C and VPL-SW525C
For the needs to create interactive teaching or collaboration space, the VPL-SW535C and VPL-SW525C offer built-in interactivity
in addition to powerful VPL-S500 series features. The two projectors transform most of a flat surface into an interactive screen,
eliminating the need to install expensive interactive whiteboards. Rich interactive capabilities include simultaneous dual-touch
annotation, mouse function to operate many third party curriculum software products*
training and presentation. Both models offer WXGA projection with the VPL-SW535C having 3000 lumens*

FEATURES
Ultra-short Projection Distance
The VPL-S500 Series projectors come equipped with an ultrashort focal length lens, which makes it possible to project
images from a very short distance.

Low Power Consumption
The VPL-S500 Series projectors offer remarkably low power
consumption, helping users to save on their electricity
expenses.
Lamp Dimming Function
The VPL-S500 Series projectors are equipped with a lamp
dimming function. After 10 seconds of a static signal feed, the
lamp dims by approximately 15% which is minimally noticeable.
If one of these projectors is left powered on while not in
use, after a set period of time it will automatically detect no
change of signal input and will dim the lamp to as low as
approximate 30% of original brightness to reduce energy
consumption.

A short projection distance has two key benefits. The presenter
will not be distracted by the projected image, and it’s easier
for the audience to see the projected image because screen
shadow is minimized.

Cost-efficient, Energy-efficient Design
Long-lasting Lamp
By incorporating a high-performance lamp and advanced
lamp-control technology, the VPL-S500 Series projectors deliver
an extremely long lamp replacement time of up to 6,000 hours.*
* Approximate recommended period, in low mode.
Lamp and Filter Synchronized Maintenance
The expected lamp maintenance interval time for each
model can reach up to 6,000 hours depending on the
selected lamp mode, and dust filters require the same
maintenance interval. Synchronizing the timing of lamp and
filter maintenance enables users to reduce the numbers of
“ladder climbs” for maintenance.

Superb Picture Quality
Brilliant Color Performance
The VPL-S500 Series projectors adopt a 3LCD projection system
incorporating three LCD panels. This system enables each
projector to present bright and natural images.
By combining an advanced generation of inorganic LCD
panels that utilize Sony’s BrightEra
projection system, the VPL-S500 Series projectors offer high
picture quality and brightness.
12-bit 3D Gamma Correction
The VPL-S500 Series projectors incorporate 12-bit 3D gamma
correction circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma
correction, achieving smoother gradations and a richer gray
scale.
