Features

• Consistently bright, beautiful colours
  Even powerful projectors can suffer from washed-out image colours in strongly- lit rooms. Unique to Sony, Bright View processing technology brightens images while maintaining rich colours when you’re presenting in well-lit business and educational environments.

• Clearer images and text
  Reality Creation uses powerful algorithms that boost image resolution closer to 4K-like quality. Reality Text improves visibility of characters: great for conference rooms, university seminar rooms and large classrooms.

• Enhanced viewing experience
  Intelligent Settings with Ambiance uses the projector’s built-in light sensor to measure room brightness, automatically adjusting Bright View mode, colour gain and Reality Creation to suit your presentation environment.

• Enjoy optimum pictures while saving energy
  The VPL-PHZ61 makes sound business sense, helping you reduce running costs in corporate and educational environments. A new Auto Light Output feature works in conjunction with Ambiance, optimising image quality and maintaining high visibility while reducing power consumption.

• 4K 60P input support
  Support for 4K 60P input signals makes life simpler when you’re using the VPL-PHZ61 in multi-screen set-ups with flat panel sub-screens. Just split the same 4K signal to drive all your display devices with no conversion needed. There’s also a high-performance image scaler that effortlessly converts 4K input signals to WUXGA resolution while achieving close to 4K image quality. Now optimised for 4K 60P signals, Reality Creation is Sony’s unique picture enhancement feature that gives projected images even greater crispness and depth. There’s also support for devices with content protection such as 4K UHD players.

• Stylish, installation friendly design
  The projector’s slim, stylish body blends discreetly into any space when the VPL-PHZ61 is ceiling mounted. A wide +55% vertical lens shift range makes perfectly proportioned pictures easy without long pole mounts or keystone correction. The wide throw ratio range simplifies replacement of a previous projector without repositioning existing ceiling mounts.

  Intelligent Settings simplifies installation and maximises performance based on usage, image detail, colour richness and fidelity, light output, cooling level and output noise. There’s also a Meeting/Classroom function that controls laser output to keep brightness as high as possible for years of real-world use.

• Avoid dust build-up
  The projector’s laser light source is sealed to prevent dust accumulation and eliminate reduced brightness. The dedicated cooling duct structure for the projector’s 3LCD panels is covered with an air filter to prevent dust from entering.

• Simple, hassle-free filter care
  Focus on great-looking images instead of time-consuming maintenance. The new dust filtration system makes changing filters a thing of the past for general use in classrooms and meeting rooms*. For heavier use in dusty environments there’s a new clogging sensor to advise when filter cleaning is needed.

• When dust density < 0.03mg/m3 and operating time < 10,500 hours. (1,500 hours/year over 7 years.)

• Data Cloning
  Settings for one projector can be copied to further projectors using a USB memory drive. This greatly simplifies installation and set-up of multiple projectors.
