Bring out the fascination of a movie theater
Imagine how it feels like to watch a movie in a movie theater —— 
the large screen, the velvety quality of the film, the natural and 
vivid color.
Sony’s goal in designing this projector is to reproduce the 
“emotional space” of a movie theater.
Sony achieved this by rethinking all steps of projector design 
from the bottom up, and developed the technology that is fully 
assimilated to re-create superb picture quality and naturally rich 
color gradation....

Capturing the velvety texture of films
— Full HD SXRD panel
Delicate image rendition without 
the “Screen Door Effect”
One of the most difficult image factors to 
reproduce is smoothness. Most projectors 
provide video images that look as though 
they were shown through a screen door.  
This is called the “Screen Door Effect” — an 
effect caused by the fact that the image is an 
artifact of pixel construction.
When fixed-pixel projection devices display 
an extended picture, you notice the grainy...

Perfect rendition of natural colors
Reproducing bottomless whites, spectacular reds 
— Pure xenon lamp
Reproducing the brightness of clear whites and reds was a 
difficult matter for projectors because of the UHP lamp 
system (ultra high pressure mercury lamp), a standard light 
source built into conventional LCD projectors. Each RGB 
brightness level that a UHP lamp provides is different, as 
indicated by the gray line on the following diagram. The red (R) 
level is very much lower than that of...

Lens diagram
Uses ED glass-forming materials.
The Carl Zeiss lens on the projector delivers 
exact resolution and projection of pictures 
with pixels of 9 µm. The lens, consisting of 
15 elements in 13 groups embedded in a 
machined aluminum cam, is made of glass 
covered with a full multi-AR (Anti-Reflection) 
coating. These lenses have enormously high 
transmission capabilities. ED (Extra-low 
Dispersion)...

Enjoy the silence 
This projector ventilates the heat of the 
power supply and lamp as shown in the 
diagram above. The flow of air is designed 
for low resistance to let the intense heat of 
the pure xenon lamp dissipate quickly and 
deaden the noise from the fans.
The intake air from ventilation holes cools 
down the power supply circuit first, then is 
blown onto the lamp. 
To ensure virtual silence, this projector uses 
closed air ducts from the fans to the lamp, 
giving full consideration to...
