Sony India launches world’s first 3D capable 4K home theatre projector

  

Sony India on Thursday launched 4K home theatre projector systems with 3D capabilities and said it plans to sell at least 100 units during the year.

"Our new VPL-VW1000ES 4K home theatre projector will allow viewers to be totally immersed in the experience with the action unfolding before their eyes in a new level of realism," Sony India's DGM Professional Solution Division, Munetaka Satoru said.

The product employs an entirely new SXRD 4K panel, producing outstanding device contrast and 2,000 ANSI lumens of brightness. When combined with Sony's Iris 3 technology of 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast, it can produce screen sizes of up to 200 inches diagonally for cinematic viewing in the comforts of a home, an official statement said.

A separate workstation which will enable projection of content shot in 4K will be launched and sold separately.

The Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K home theater projector has the ability to memorize the zoom lens position through the in-built picture position memory and even supports 2D and 3D anamorphic films. There is a plethora of installation options for potential buyers to avail of. These include 2.1 motorized zoom, an RS232 interface, dual triggers and expanded throw distances. At the event, the company showcased the 4K home theater projector by playing a few movie clips.

Price: The Sony VPL-VW1000ES price in India reads at Rs. 13,99,900 and it is apparently aimed at cinema theater owners, directors, actors, doctors and other similar consumer niches in the country.
