Sony VPL-VW200 BRAVIA SXRD 1080p Home Theater Projector
Product Description

This is it. The flagship of Sony's home theater lineup. This projector combines the advanced features and technology associated with the legendary QUALIA 004 and the sleek form factor made popular by the VPL-VW100 projector. Three newly developed high frame rate (120fps) SXRD 1080P chips work together with Sony's Motionflow technology and black frame insertion modes for smoother, more detailed pictures in fast motion video. The Panel Alignment function allows the precise alignment of R/G/B images with zone specific adjustment to deliver a sharper, crisper picture. An exclusive Carl Zeiss multi-element glass lens optimizes SXRD chip performance. The Anamorphic Zoom Mode works with an optional external anamorphic lens to allow 2.35:1 aspect ratio viewing. A high output Xenon cinematic lamp maintains ideal color temperature characteristics for natural and accurate color reproduction. Additional color features include RCP (Real Color Processing) and x.v.Color technology for further color refinement. The significantly improved native contrast characteristics of the three SXRD chips are dynamically enhanced by the Advanced Auto Iris 2 function for up to a 35,000:1 contrast ratio. Add 24p True Cinema connectivity, RS-232C capability and two HDMI inputs and the VPL-VW200 is destined to be the ultimate choice among videophiles everywhere.

SXRD 1920 x 1080 high frame rate (120fps) SXRD chips (0.61")
SXRD is a new display technology developed by the legendary television engineers at Sony to meet and exceed the demands of a High Definition image at its full 1080 line resolution. It is a 1920 x 1080p panel characterized by several key benefits -- full HD resolution, smooth film-like image with minimal screen door effects, high response times (5ms rise and fall), high contrast ratios and accurate color rendition.

Motionflow 120Hz High Frame Rate Technology
Taking motion performance to the next level requires innovation and expertise. Enter Sony's Motionflow High Frame Rate technology. Motionflow detects the incoming video signal and applies the appropriate processing for optimum motion reproduction. Taking full advantage of film sourced 24fps encoded content available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, Motionflow eliminates the need for 3:2 pulldown and delivers smooth, judder free video, faithfully preserving the integrity of the original film. When 60fps content is detected, Motionflow doubles the amount of frames and uses real-time calculation to create a new level of natural motion reproduction. You'll experience movies and sports with a greater sense of realism than ever before.

BRAVIA Engine PRO Video Processing System
The VPL-VW200 BRAVIA Home Cinema Projector uses Sony's BRAVIA Engine PRO which builds upon the BRAVIA Engine system's outstanding video processing functions making it Sony's most advanced video processing system. It is the culmination of our legendary picture quality expertise, featuring the latest generation of proprietary video processing technology: Digital Reality Creation - Multi Function (DRC-MFv2.5). This technology creates a high-density video signal that traditional interpolation video processing cannot achieve. This latest generation of DRC-MF features increased processing power and provides a sharp, crystal clear image with both 480i and 480p standard definition and all high definition sources (except 1080p). It also features "1080p Direct Creation" which minimizes loss in interlace-to-progressive (IP) conversion by performing Digital Reality Creation and IP Creation algorithms simultaneously.

Advanced Iris 2
The latest evolution of Sony’s own Advanced Iris function uses algorithms designed to analyze the histogram of each picture along with nonlinear amplification to dynamically adjust the iris for its optimum opening. The result is a stunningly high contrast ratio of up to 35,000:1. Images in bright scenes are crisp and clear and black levels in dark scenes are deep and detailed. A manual adjustment option is also available to fix the iris opening for specific image conditions.

24p True Cinema technology
All motion pictures are filmed at 24 frames per second (fps) and many prime time TV programs are video taped at 24p. Seizing on an opportunity, some studios are taking a purist approach and encoding high definition video content such as Blu-ray Disc in 24p. Sony’s BDP-S1 wisely takes advantage of this by including 24p output capability. It makes sense that select 2007 BRAVIA TVs will include 24p input capability. The benefit— Images are now displayed in their native 24p format without the judder associated with frame rate conversion. They are smooth and natural looking. Once you experience 24p video it will be hard to view video without it. (Found on select Sony front projectors.)

Anamorphic Zoom Mode
The VPL-VW200 has an “Anamorphic zoom” mode in the wide modes to enjoy wider aspect ratio. With this mode, it is possible to create a full 2.35:1 image just like a movie theater when using commercially available anamorphic lens.4

400W Pure Xenon Lamp
A special 400W pure Xenon lamp provides equal brightness output levels for all three primary colors - red, green and blue, used to create the trillions of colors that can be delivered. Natural and accurate color is reproduced with bottomless whites and spectacular reds.

Panel Alignment Function
The VPL-VW200 is configured with a function that compensates gaps in character or color 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 full image of each color.2, 3

x.v.Color Technology
BRAVIA Front Projector’s performance have now advanced to the point that the color range can be defined by limitations in the original video source, rather than the TV. Thanks to the adoption of a newly approved international color standard called xvYCC, the color space has been greatly expanded. 1.8 times as many natural colors as existing HDTV signals will now be faithfully reproduced. x.v.Color is the name Sony has chosen to promote video products that include xvYCC capability. x.v.Color enabled products such as select Sony Handycam camcorders. (Found on select Sony BRAVIA Front Projectors.)

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.

ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens
A specially developed crisp focus lens was developed to take full advantage of the full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution that the SXRD panel device offers. It offers superior resolution and focus.

Ultra Quiet Fan
An exclusive Sony-designed fan efficiently removes heat at a barely noticeable noise spec of 22dB. Obtrusive fan noise is virtually eliminated to allow for flexibility in room placement.
