Sony Enhances Micro-Portable Projector Line
June 03, 2003
Orlando, FL - Sony Electronics has introduced new SuperLite portable micro-projectors, the VPL-EX1 and next generation models: the VPL-CS6 and VPL-CX6. The SuperLite projector series now includes a 1500 ANSI lumen, low-cost, high performance, entry-level XGA display.
The VPL-EX1 SuperLite projector reproduces the standard XGA resolution of the latest laptops, including Sony's VAIO computers.
Refreshing the Sony SuperLite line, the company also unveiled the VPL-CS6 SuperLite projector.
The new 1800 ANSI lumen SVGA projector features a new short throw focal lens for smaller classrooms and conference rooms.
Rounding out the company's new SuperLite offerings is the new top-of-the-line 2000 ANSI lumen VPL-CX6 SuperLite projector, featuring a Memory Stick media card port, which makes it ideal for PC-less presentations.
All three projectors feature 0.7-inch TFT LCD panels with 165 watt UHP lamp for high brightness image display and offer whisper-quiet operation.
The new unit accepts Memory Stick PRO removable media, making it ideal for PC-free presentations. In addition to Memory Stick media, a presenter can also store and run their PowerPoint presentation on a Sony CLIÉ handheld device equipped with Margi's Presenter-To-Go software. Connected by an RGB cable to the VPL-CX6 SuperLite projector, a presenter can run a slide show and advance their slides using their handheld device.
The VPL-CX6 model also includes Projector Station Version 4.2 software for even easier transfer of files or conversions of PowerPoint presentations.
With Projector Station software, users can display their presentation files and MPEG-1 files taken from a digital camera without using a PC.
Sony's SuperLite projectors also feature a wide array of computer and video inputs, remote control capabilities and pre-programmable options.
They accept composite video, S-Video, analog RGB/component, and SYNC/HV input signals and display computer images at up to native SXGA resolution.
The units also include a USB port and offer the ability to advance PowerPoint slides by wireless mouse and remote control; they can display high contrast images (viewable area, measured diagonally, from 40 to 150 inches).
The new projectors weigh approximately 5.15 pounds and measure approximately 11 1/4 (w) x 2 5/8 (h) x 9 (d) inches.
The EX1 is expected to have a suggested list price of less than $2,400 and be available in June; the VPL-CS6 SuperLite projector is expected in August,
with a suggested list price of about $2,300. The VPL-CX6 SuperLite projector is expected to have a suggested list price of less than $3,300, when it becomes available in August.
