Installation Flexibility, Eco-Friendly, and Good TCO with a Stylish Design

The VPL-C200 Series delivers installation flexibility, eco-friendly features, and a low total cost ownership in a stylish design that blends into any decor. The image correction features and lens shift/zoom capability easily allows users to fit any image onto the screen, even from an offset projection angle. Additionally, these projectors are economically designed for optimum energy efficiency, thanks to their auto power saving function, picture muting function with lamp control technology, long-lasting lamp, and low power consumption. The VPL-CW275 offers

5,100 lumens* brightness and the VPL-CW255 4,500 lumens*, and both models support wide screen projection with WXGA resolution. The VPL-CX275 offers 5,200 lumens* brightness and the VPL-CX235 4,100 lumens*, and both provide high image quality with XGA resolution.

With all the features and functionality that you expect from Sony, particularly those for installation, projection, usability, and maintenance, the VPL-C200 Series projectors are thoughtfully designed projectors for environments ranging from middle- and large-sized classrooms to conference rooms and beyond.

FEATURES

Installation Advantages

Vertical/Horizontal Keystone Distortion

With these projectors, keystone distortion of vertically up to

+/- 30 degrees and horizontally up to +/- 20 degrees can be digitally corrected via the on-screen operation menu and/or the Remote Commander™ unit. This enables detailed images to be projected with their correct geometry, even when installation space is limited.

Convenient, Simple Projector Replacement

The standard 1.5x zoom lens enables installation flexibility when replacing an existing projector with the VPL-C200 Series projectors – there’s no need to change ceiling mount positions.

Good TCO, Energy Efficient Design

Long-lasting Lamp

By incorporating a high-performance lamp and advanced lamp-control technology, the VPL-C200 Series projectors deliver an extremely long lamp replacement time of up to 5,000 hours.*

* Approximate recommended period, in low mode.

Energy Saving Design

The VPL-C200 Series projectors offer remarkably low power consumption, allowing users to help save on their electricity expenses.

Advanced Geometric Correction

Each corner and side can be grabbed and fit squarely to the desired position. This feature is useful when an offset projection is necessary.

Fine Lens Shift

The lens shift function allows image position to be easily fine-tuned vertically or horizontally.

Lamp and Filter Synchronized Maintenance

The expected lamp maintenance time for each model can reach up to 5,000 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.

* VPL-CW255 and VPL-CX235

Auto Mode (Auto Brightness Adjustment Function)

The brightness of the lamp’s output is automatically adjusted depending on the brightness of the projected image, to avoid unnecessary power consumption.

When showing darker images that don’t require high brightness, lamp output decreases.

ECO MODE Key

With a single push of the ECO MODE key on either the projector or the supplied Remote Commander unit, users can select an energy-saving setting from the ECO Mode menu.

Lamp Dimming Function

The VPL-C200 Series projectors are equipped with a lamp dimming function. After 10 seconds of a static signal feed, the lamp dims by approximate 15% which is hardly 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 significantly reduce energy consumption.

Picture Muting

The VPL-C200 Series projectors can temporarily disable video signal output. This function can be easily operated with just the touch of a button on the supplied Remote Commander unit. In addition, this function allows blank image projection with low power consumption using lamp control technology.

High Resolution Lens

The VPL-C200 Series projectors incorporate a high-resolution lens known as the Advanced Crisp Focus (ACF) lens. Its large diameter and fine pitch ensure crisp pictures.

12-bit 3D Gamma Correction

The VPL-C200 Series projectors incorporate 12-bit 3D gamma correction circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma correction, achieving smoother gradations and a richer gray scale.

Dynamic Detail Enhancer

This technology generates optimized images depending on the type of input signal through the interlace-to-progressive conversion processer.

HDMI Interface

The VPL-C200 Series projectors are equipped with a High-

Definition Multimedia Interface™ (HDMI), which is the latest standard for digitally connecting to high-definition (HD) devices.
