Key Features
Full HD 1080p with 3 High Frame Rate SXRD™ 1920x1080 Panels :   Three high frame rate SXRD™ 1920x1080p micro-display panels support Full HD 1080p resolution for an impressive combination of vivid color, film-like image quality, and high-definition brilliance. Enjoy images with outstanding cinematic quality and image smoothness.
Motionflow™ w/ Dark Frame Insertion :   Motionflow 120Hz with Dark Frame Insertion technology doubles the frame rate in video sources to reduce judder and deliver a smoother, sharper picture for a more fluid, natural viewing experience.
400W Xenon Lamp :   A Pure Xenon Lamp (400W) helps deliver natural and accurate color reproduction by providing equal brightness output levels for all three primary colors -- red, green, and blue -- used to create the billions of colors that can be produced.
BRAVIA Engine™ 2 PRO :   BRAVIA Engine 2 PRO fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique Sony® algorithms to significantly reduce noise, enhance overall image detail, and optimize contrast so every scene produces sharp, vibrant, life-like images.
Advanced Iris 2 :   Advanced Iris 2 Function provides up to 35,000:1 contrast ratio2 by optimizing both dark and bright scenes to produce deep black levels with stunning details.
24p True Cinema™ :   24p True Cinema technology provides a direct connection to 24p video sources so you can avoid conversions and enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second).
x.v.Color™ :   x.v.Color technology3 takes HD color expression to new levels. When connected to x.v.Color capable video sources, such as select Sony® camcorders, the VPL-VW200 can display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors as the existing RGB color standard, resulting in more natural, life-like images.
Deep Color :   By combining a 10-bit processor with 10-bit SXRD™ panels, the VPL-VW200 can create and display 64 times the level of color expression of 8-bit projectors, resulting in smoother color gradations and helping to avoid a “paint-by-numbers” look.
Noise reduction functions :   The VPL-VW200 features noise reduction functions that analyze scenes in real time to identify various types of noise and reduce unwanted artifacts, such as mosquito noise and block noise, without compromising the video signal.
Panel Alignment function :   A Panel Alignment function enables pixel alignment to within 1/10th of a pixel6, making it possible to shift the entire picture or specific zones to adjust for color gaps and produce a brighter, clearer, and more detailed picture.
Anamorphic Zoom Mode :   Anamorphic Zoom Mode works with an optional anamorphic lens1 to take full advantage of panel resolution and screen size for a true cinema experience.
1.8x Zoom Lens :   A 1.8x zoom lens provides a short focus distance and takes full advantage of Sony® SXRD™ technology to provide superior resolution and focus.
Motorized Lens Shift :   Motorized Lens Shift provides vertical and horizontal adjustments that allow the projector to be placed in different locations, expanding the projector's placement and installation options without distorting image quality.
Ultra Low Fan Noise 22dB :   Exclusive Sony®-designed fan delivers efficient cooling and whisper-quiet operation (22dB).
HDMI™ Inputs x 2 :   The VPL-VW200 BRAVIA® SXRD™ 1080p Home Cinema Projector offers two HDMI inputs (up to 1080/60p capable) that deliver uncompressed digital video and multi-channel audio over one cable (cable sold separately).
Various Analog Inputs :   The VPL-VW200 features various analog inputs including YPbPr Component, S-Video, Composite video, and a PC input (D-sub 15-pin) for easy connection to a wide variety of video sources.
RS-232C connectivity :   RS-232C connectivity enables operation of the projector using a home theater automation controller.
BRAVIA Theatre Sync :   BRAVIA Theatre Sync technology3 provides one-touch access and control functionality over other HDMI™-CEC enabled components with BRAVIA Theatre Sync capability from the VPL-VW200 remote.
RCP (Real Color Processing) function :   RCP (Real Color Processing) function allows adjustment of specific colors on the picture without changing the overall image's color and hue.
Image Director 3.0 :   Fine-tune your image clarity with Image Director 3.0. This software application, available on CD-ROM with the VPL-VW200, allows you to adjust the projector’s gamma curve via PC. An easy-to-use zooming function lets you focus on a portion of the image to inspect close-up detail while you make adjustments.
Blanking and Overscan functions :   The Blanking function places an adjustable black frame around the edges of the image area to mask unwanted visual information while the Overscan function lets you adjust content within the image frame to eliminate visual noise.
Functional Cosmetic Design for Home Theater :   The VPL-VW200 was designed to be both classy and functional, with rounded edges; a compact, sloped casing; and appealing two-tone color scheme in metallic gray and black. The attractive, modern cabinet works well with most home theatre décor.
