The Sony VPL-SW235 short throw projector has a number of features to present high quality images while keeping low TCO. This includes brightness of 3000 lumen Constant Brightness function extends the brightness of the projector over a long period of time. While energy-efficient technologies extend lamp replacement time to 10000 hours (in Low mode).
The VPL-SW235 also needs only 79cm to display a large 80-inch image on the screen, which fits perfectly in front of a white board leaving plenty of space. With the fuss-free installation and achievement of less glares or shadows during presentation, the short throw projector offers excellent usability.
Short throw distance
The Sony VPL-SW235 offers a 0.46:1 throw ratio that produces a 2.03m (80-inch) diagonal screen size image from only 79cm (31-inch) away from the screen.
High image quality 3LCD natural and vivid colour images
Thanks to the optical system projecting three basic colours constantly each, the projector offers excellent light efficiency, which ensures colourful and bright images. High colour reproducibility is important especially when using colourful content, such as materials used in classrooms. The projector also has an excellent contrast ratio of 3000:1.
High brightness of 3000 lumen in High lamp mode
The VPL-SW235 features three brightness modes for different use – 'High' for naturally white presentations in bright rooms, 'Standard' for everyday use, and 'Low' for video in darkened rooms. The native WXGA (1280 x 800) 16:10 widescreen screen resolution panel is perfect for presentations direct from a laptop or PC.
Constant Brightness function
Constant Brightness is a new lamp technology to keep brightness constant at 60%-70% and bring you fine picture quality for long-terms. Usually the brightness gradually gets down, but Constant Brightness keeps the same level of brightness for about 2000 hours, once it is engaged. After this the function is automatically disabled. The period becomes about 2 years, if you are using the projector as a classroom usage. The overall life of the projector is also extended.
Energy efficient with long-lasting lamp of 10000 hours
The lamp driver optimally controls the wattage of the lamp and achieves a long-lasting lamp time of 10000 hours with the brightness of lamp mode low. The lamp time is extended more than 66%, compared to the previous model.
Advanced energy-saving features
Advanced lamp technology enables robust energy-saving features. For example, greater brightness control in Auto Light Dimming mode saves considerable energy when the projector is left on without being used. During projection, Auto Picture Mode automatically adjusts light output to suit the projected scene. When you need to mute the picture temporarily, light output can be completely deactivated to minimise energy consumption.
Network presentation (LAN/Wireless LAN)
When the projector is installed on a LAN/Wireless LAN, presentations can be projected from any PC and Mac on the network. A tablet or smart phone can be connected at the same time. The wireless presentation capability makes it easy to present files from your tablet device or smart phone. You can project jpg, pdf and other supporting formats. Up to four users can project PC/Mac images simultaneously, while up to eight users can connect to one projector.
