Sony expands installation laser projector range with VPL-FHZ75 and VPL-FHZ70 models

Sony has unveiled two new laser projectors at ISE 2019, expanding its range of installation models. The VPL-FHZ75 and VPL-FHZ70 have been launched to cater for the increased market demand for large image, high brightness projection in education, corporate and public applications.

Both offer WUXGA resolution, with a colour light output of 6500lm and 5500lm respectively. The pair use a newly-developed 0.76-inch LCD panel with incorporated optical compensator to deliver bright and vibrant images with ‘infinite’ contrast. Both also utilise Sony’s ‘Reality Creation’ image processing.

An ‘intelligent setting’ feature promises to simplify the installation process by automatically selecting the best configuration based on the environment the projectors are used in; there’s a choice of four pre-set modes including classrooms, museums, entertainment venues and multi-screen.

“The demand for reliable and versatile laser projectors has grown significantly in recent years,” explained Robert Meakin, European Product Manager at Sony Professional Solutions Europe. “At Sony, we work very closely with our partners and customers to create solutions together that meet their needs, no matter what sector they operate in. The introduction of our new projectors, with their advanced ‘intelligent setting’ feature, their crisp image quality and overall versatility, is no exception to this rule.”

The new models will be available May 2019. Sony offers a wide range of installation models, from the flagship VPL-FHZ120L with its 12,000lm output, to the compact VPL-PHZ10.
