Home Cinema Projector

Key Features

1080 Full HD SXRD Panel technology

With three of Sony’s 1920 x 1080 SXRD panels at the heart of the BRAVIA

SXRD Home Cinema Projectors, a consistently superior image is produced across the entire screen.

The unique combination of three separate panels of 1920 x 1080 resolution (one each for red, green and blue) means that SXRD can deliver over 6.2 million pixels, more than twice as many as the 2.8 million pixels you get with other 720p HD ready projectors. SXRD provides film-quality smoothness by minimizing the space between pixels (0.35µm) for smooth and dot-less pictures.

High Contrast Ratio –

60,000:1 with Advanced

Iris 3 ™ technology

The Advanced Iris 3 contrast enhancement works like the human eye, responding dynamically to the level of light in each scene, always selecting the optimum contrast. With a very high range of 60,000:1,

Advanced Iris 3 can bring out the detail in darker sequences and prevent bright scenes from looking washed out.

The BRAVIA VPL-HW15 projector delivers the excitement and immediacy of HD to a new audience. It brings technologies capable of convincingly reproducing the cinematic experience within the reach of first time buyers of home cinema solutions. Featuring a stylish design, triple-panel SXRD and 8-stage image processing by the renowned BRAVIA ENGINE 2 ™ , the VPL-HW15 is fully loaded with the features you need to introduce a true HD cinematic viewing experience into your living room.

Digital Picture Processing

– BRAVIA ENGINE 2

The unique BRAVIA ENGINE 2 delivers vibrant colours and exceptional image quality. It consists of eight separate stages of image enhancement – carried out in real time – each has a specialised function. Together they generate a picture that is optimised in every way, from the accuracy of the contrast to the precision of the colour reproduction.

Panel alignment function

The panel alignment function allows users to select R (Red) or B (Blue) to make adjustments based on G

(Green), and to adjust the horizontal and vertical direction by shifting a full image of each colour, achieving the perfect colour registration of the projected images.
