Sony VPL-SW535C User Manual

VPL-SW535 and VPL-SW535C*
Projectors

WXGA resolution ultra short throw
projectors with 3000 lumens brightness

Designed for education, the VPL-SW535 and VPL-SW535C projectors are the perfect teaching
tools for glare-less projection in changing light conditions. The VPL-SW535C comes with dual
pen (teacher – student) interactivity and multiple media connectivity to make them more
appealing to teachers wishing to engage with their students.

Both projectors deliver a 0.27 - 0.29:1 throw ratio that produces a 2.03M (80”) diagonal
screen size image from only 0.47 - 0.49 metres (approx. 1.54 - 1.61 feet) away from the
screen creating a shadow-less image. They have been designed to be easy to operate and
to deliver a low total cost of ownership. They are the ideal choice for ultra close projection
applications in educational markets.

Furthermore, in common with all Sony projectors, the VPL-SW535 and VPL-SW535C both
feature the Sony BrightEra 3LCD inorganic panel technology that delivers higher picture
quality, substantially brighter images, higher efficiency, better contrast, consistent colour
stability and longer durability and usability.

* VPL-SW535C - Dual pen interactivity

Maximum 3000 lumens brightness with
High, Standard and Low modes

Both models feature three brightness modes for
different uses – High for naturally white presentations
in bright rooms (3000 Lumens), Standard for
everyday use (2400 Lumens) and Low for video in
darkened rooms (2000 Lumens).

Lens Shift Function

The projectors are equipped with horizontal and
vertical lens shift functions for greater installation
flexibility. Using this function, the position of the
projected image can be moved vertically
+/- 4% and horizontally +/- 2%.

0.27 - 0.29:1 Throw Ratio

These projectors offer a 0.27 - 0.29:1 throw ratio
that produces a 2.03M (80”) diagonal screen size
image from only 0.47 - 0.49 metres (approx. 1.54

- 1.61 feet) away from the screen.

ECO Mode Key

Users can easily select power-saving ECO
Modes. The most energy-efficient mode is
accessible though a single button-push, with
further adjustments available through an easily
understood menu system.

Filter replaced at the same time as Lamp

The filter only needs to be cleaned when a
new lamp is fitted, potentially halving disruption
due to maintenance.

Key Features

Dual Pen Interactivity

Provided interactive software and dual
pens allow teachers and students to
create, present, interact, playback and
save work with most presentation files
and 3rd party interactive software.

ECO Lamp Dimming

These projectors (if this function is
selected) can reduce power
consumption and brightness by 10-15%.
After a user pre-set time, the brightness
and power consumption will reduce to
30% power usage, with instant 100%
brightness returning as soon as a new
signal input is detected.

ECO Picture Mute - (Instant Off/Instant On)

The new ECO Picture Mute feature
reduces power consumption down to
30%, saving cost and lamp hours. This
feature can be used in the classroom as
instant off/instant on in-between class
changes. There is no need to power
completely off and turn back on, which
is time consuming.

Other Features

6000 Hours Lamp Life

A new driving scheme reduces gap
expansion which minimises brightness
gradation. A new cooling system allows
uniformity in the temperature of the
glass bulb which prevents the glass
from clouding.

Vertical Keystone Adjustment

The projectors can correct keystone distortion
by +/- 5% for perfect installation adjustment
to the smart board or screen. (Note that
since this is an electronic correction, it will
reduce the picture quality slightly.)

Digital Zoom

With Digital Zoom, users can enlarge a
selected area of a computer-sourced
image on the screen up to four times.

Six Picture Modes

The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SW535C have six
available picture modes for correct picture
quality; Dynamic, Standard, Game, Living,
Cinema and Presentation. With six picture
modes and 3 brightness modes
combined, users can select the most
suitable picture/brightness mode according
to the picture source and environment for
the perfect image.

3LCD BrightEra Technology

The Sony 0.75 inch BrightEra inorganic TFT
3LCD panels deliver improved panel light
resistance, higher resolution, high brightness
and increased panel reliability.

Digital / HD Ready

With the HDMI input, the projectors can
accept digital signals from a PC or video
source.

Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment)

When a computer is used as a picture
source, APA automatically optimises Phase,
Pitch and Shift values. These can also be
adjusted manually.

Auto Input Search

Auto Input Search detects which input has
an incoming signal and automatically
switches to it. This makes it easier for users to
set up the projector prior to making a
presentation.

Picture Muting / Audio Muting

If there is a need to blackout the image or
turn off the audio from the projector, all it
takes is a single button-press on the remote
control. One button will mute audio and
image at the same time. There is also a
separate “mute audio” button for audio­only muting.

Audio Switcher Facility

To avoid the need for a separate audio
switcher, the projector can be used to
select between two audio sources, routing
them via a variable audio output to the
room amplification system.

Picture Freeze Function

Picture Freeze is useful during presentations
where users need to look at other material
on their PC’s screen without the viewing
audience being aware. Freeze the current
image and users can use their PC
independently of the display from the
projector.

Off and Go

At the end of a presentation, users can turn
off the power supply to the projector
immediately, instead of going through a
‘power down’ cycle.

Direct Power On/Off

With this function, there is no need to go
through ‘Standby’ mode when powering up
the projector. The projector can be set to
activate as soon as power is supplied.

Built-in Security Measures

The projectors have a package of security
measures, including password protection
and physical anti-theft anchor points.

Web Control and Monitoring / E-mail Report

Built-in Web Browser IE allows the user or AV
manager to check a projector status
remotely. Power ON/STANDBY, input/output,
lamp usage (hours) can be controlled. An
E-mail address can also be set to notify
lamp exchange/replacement or any
unexpected problems.
