Sony VPL-HW10 BRAVIA SXRD Home Theater Projector
Upgrade your movie viewing experience with the VPL-HW10 BRAVIA SXRD 1080p home theater front projector. Featuring three SXRD micro-display panels that provide Full 1080p resolution, the VPL-HW10 makes it easy to recreate the theater experience at home without breaking the bank. The VPL-HW10 entry-level front projector is brimming with features including BRAVIA Engine 2 digital video processor and an ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) lens, which take full advantage of the full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution of the SXRD panel. The VPL-HW10 is also equipped with a 200W lamp and Advanced Iris 2 technology, which delivers high contrast of up to 30,000:1 by automatically optimizing picture brightness on a scene-by-scene basis.
Big Screen, Cinematic Features, Small Budget
The BRAVIA VPL-HW10 projector is set to deliver the excitement and immediacy of HD to a new audience with a
screen size up to 300"/7.6m. It brings technologies capable
of convincingly reproducing the cinematic experience
within the reach of the non-specialist buyer tempted by
the idea of HD Home Cinema. Featuring a new and stylish
design, triple-panel Sony SXRD and 8-stage image
processing by the renowned BRAVIA ENGINE 2, the
VPL-HW10 is fully loaded with the features you need to
do justice to Full HD.
Sony Original SXRD Panels
Achieving the detail, clarity and naturalistic smooth motion
of cinema is a challenge met by the triple-panel Sony
SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) technology at the
heart of the projector.
Digital Picture Processing - BRAVIA ENGINE 2
The unique BRAVIA ENGINE 2 delivers vibrant colors
and exceptional image quality. Its eight separate stages
of image enhancement - carried out in real time - each
has a specialized function. Together they generate a picture
that is optimized in every way, from the accuracy of
the contrast to the precision of the color reproduction.
Superb Contrast Ratio with Advanced Iris 2
The Advanced Iris 2 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 30,000:1 (the difference between
dead black and pure white), Advanced Iris 2 can bring out
the detail in darker sequences and prevent bright scenes
from looking washed out.
High Resolution All Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F)
Lens
The VPL-HW10 is equipped with the All Range Crisp Focus
(ARC-F) lens which has the necessary superior resolution
and focus characteristics. The lens offers a 1.6x
manual zoom and both vertical (65%) and horizontal
(25%) Lens Shift adjustment, making it easy to set the
projector up and achieve a good picture in a variety of
environments.
Advanced Colour Enhancement Features
Something else that brings the VPL-HW10 closer to the
capabilities of the human eye is its support for x.v.Color.
x.v.Color is based on xvYCC, a new international standard
for video that defines a colour space nearly two times
wider than the existing sRGB standard, making x.v.Color
literally more lifelike. Deep Color boosts the number of
colours available within the xvYCC color space from millions to billions, further future-proofing the projector
against developments in color handling technology.
In the event that you do need to adjust screen colors,
the perfect tool for the job is provided by Real Color Processing. This allows you to adjust the hue of a specific
colour without changing the whole image. So if something
like skin tone needs tweaking, you can do it without altering the color of the sky or the background of the scene.
Great Connectivity - 24p True Cinema
The inclusion of twin connectors with HDMI technology
opens up another dimension for the VPL-HW10. It makes
it possible to connect to video sources like Blu-ray Disc
players which offer exact, 24 frame-per-second replication
of the cinematic original. As the projector has the ’24p
True Cinema’ function, it can display films exactly as they
were first recorded. HDMI CEC technology also allows
control of multiple devices from a single remote in a process called BRAVIA Theatre Sync. One Touch Play lets
you insert a disc and press Play, at which point the whole Home Theatre system, including the projector, powers up
automatically and the film starts.
What Is It & Why You Need It:
Micro-display panels support Full HD 1080p for vivid color and film-like image quality
24p True Cinema functionality showcases movies just as they were first recorded
ARC-F Lens produces incredible visuals in a variety of environments and settings
Widescreen format provides full spectrum of visuals with high brilliance
For over 50 years, Sony has been developing
world-class products and services that add excitement and creativity to your life. Sony is committed
to applying that same ongoing innovation to build a sustainable future.
Engineered
to pioneer
Thinner, lighter VAIO® notebooks require less energy and reduce consumption and depletion of
materials. The majority of VAIO computer models are ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant and have
received either EPEAT Gold or Silver rankings. This means they use less power, affecting energy
bills, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
More picture quality, less energy wasted
Sony® BRAVIA® TVs and LCDs are developed with the environment in mind. This includes reduced costs
throughout the product lifecycle -- from buying to maintaining to running your Sony TVs and LCD
displays. Most of the BRAVIA® HDTVs are designed to exceed ENERGY STAR® 3.0 Specifications, saving
you money on energy costs while still delivering stunning images. The BRAVIA® VE5 LCD HDTV 52"
version, for example, exceeds ENERGY STAR® 3.0 Specifications by 65.5%*. The ECO-Panel, on a
selection of our newest models reduces power consumption while in use, and the new Eco-Switch on
selected models enables zero power consumption when the display is off.
Sony BRAVIA® HDTVs also feature innovative technology that self adjusts backlight to save power.
Light sensors automatically adjust the brightness of the screen to maximize viewing quality and
minimize energy usage. And on the BRAVIA® KDL-VE5, a Presence Detector sets the television into
standby mode when no motion is detected within a preset amount of time. All to support the
conservation of valuable resources and limit green house gas emissions.
Blu-ray
Disc™ Players go green
In 2008, the unit features 21 percent less power consumption in playback mode and 43 percent reduced
power consumption in stand-by mode.
More than just talking the talk
Sony Ericsson is proud to deliver the most efficient chargers from a standby power point of view,
with all new models after 2005 meeting the requirements for ENERGY STAR®. Sony Ericsson also makes
continuous efforts to reduce energy consumption from all activities. At the Sony Ericsson
manufacturing site, the electricity per manufactured unit was significantly reduced by 24% in 2007
compared to 2005. The goal is to reduce the carbon footprint from Sony Ericsson's own activities by
15% per produced unit by 2009 and 20% by 2011 based on the 2007 figures.
A
Sony innovation, 10 years in the making
Every once in a while, a new technology emerges that changes everything. At just 3mm thin, Sony has
developed an unbelievably thin TV - while advancing image quality to levels that no other TV can
match. This technology is called OLED.
Organic Light Emitting Diode, or OLED, is a technology that uses carbon-based organic material in a
process that converts electric energy into light. This light is used to illuminate the screen and
produce the most astounding results ever seen on a television. OLED emits light and does not require
a backlight-realizing a new TV form of approximately 3mm at its thinnest point. And when these
elements are in their "off" state, they consume no power. The result? OLED TVs use less energy than
LCDs. The OLED display consumes less electricity compared to conventional displays because OLED's
light-emitting structure does not require a separate light source and can be powered using very low
voltages.
Sony Innovative Materials Saves
Participation
in EPEAT™ Program
As a committed participant in the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT™ )
program, various VAIO® notebooks have been registered for their environmentally conscious design and
the overall eco-conscious efforts of Sony. EPEAT is a tool designed to help you compare and select
products based on their environmental attributes. The majority of VAIO notebooks and desktops are
either registered as Gold or Silver.
Meeting the RoHS Directive
All Sony VAIO computers have PVC-free exterior product casings and packaging. They are also EU
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive compliant. The RoHS directive restricts the
amount of certain materials such as lead and mercury, used in electronic products. By limiting the
use of hazardous substances, RoHS aims not only to help prevent harmful materials from leaching into
our ecosystems but also helps minimize potential exposure to these substances and promotes easier
recycling at the end of a product's lifecycle.
Sony adopted the use of recycled and reused materials in
several models of our LCDs, and all are EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
compliant, helping prevent harmful materials, such as lead, from leaching into our ecosystem when
improperly disposed while also helping increase recycling and reduce potential chemical exposure
from the manufacturing process. And further keeping green in mind, suppliers for products are
certified as green partners based on Sony's stringent standard for chemical substances used in
products.
All Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ Player parts, and all other Sony products, are lead and cadmium-free, based
on EU RoHS directive restrictions, and major plastic parts of the Blu-ray Disc Player are free of
brominated flame retardants.
Sony Ericsson is the first company to remove brominated flame
retardants from its
mobile
phones and the first to manufacture a full range of products, including accessories, which are also
brominated flame retardant free.
They were also the first in ensuring that every device in their range was fully compliant with the
EU Directive on the restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS). Sony Ericsson phones are PVC free,
and we are currently working to phase out antimony, beryllium and phthalates from our products.
Sony Packaging Is More Than Just Style
Cutting Down on Package Size
Sony is looking at minimizing its impact of its computers on our environment, by reducing the size
of our packaging. VAIO® products utilize 30-95 percent post-consumer recycled content (actual
percentage depends on manufacturing). They also use non-VOC vegetable oil-based ink in all Japanese
made units. On the inside of the box, all Sony-created documentation uses 85% post-consumer recycled
content.
Creating Manuals from Recycled Materials
On the BRAVIA® Series, the product information and packaging, including instruction manuals,
Quick Set-Up Guides and box packaging are made from recyclable materials. Inside the box, the
styrofoam packing cushions are made from reprocessed EPS that's been taken from original parts
packaging, shredded, compacted and recycled into Television packaging cushions. This process
resulted in saving 28 metric tons of polystyred plastic from landfills.
Cutting
Down on Emissions from Shipping
Compared to Sony’s previous BDP-S300 Blu-ray Disc™ model, the new BDP-S350 model reduced the overall
unit size by 55 percent, reduced packing material by 52 percent and reduced the unit’s total weight
by 38 percent. The compact size of the finished package allows Sony to reduce the C02 emissions
related to shipping by approximately 43 percent.
Reduce unnecessary power use with a TV
that switches to standby mode when no motion is detected.
Use less power than traditional
technologies with the exclusive Sony® HCFL backlight.
Turn off the power completely with a
flip of the switch and eliminate standby energy consumption.
With a screen that’s as thin as three credit cards, Sony’s XEL-1 changes television. It also breaks
new ground with a 1 million to 1 contrast ratio, outstanding brightness, accurate color
reproduction, and an exceptionally rapid response time. Coming Soon!
Enjoy the latest in HDTV performance with the BRAVIA Z-Series and W-Series televisions, featuring
Motionflow™ 240Hz technology. Incorporating advanced power saving features such as Light Sensor®
technology and Dynamic Backlight Control, these HDTVs exceed Energy Star® 3.0 guidelines for energy
efficiency by over 15% in Home mode.
BRAVIA S-Series HDTVs put Full HD 1080p and stunning contrast in reach, offering advanced image
processing features and a variety of HD input options at a great value. Energy Star 3.0 qualified.
