Sony VPL FE110

Sony VPL FE110 ... exclusive Sony Digital Reality Creation (DRC) technology. DRC generates video pictures with effectively four times the resolution of that from a conventional video signal. Unlike conventional linear interpolation, which uses filtering techniques, DRC generates a high-resolution signal by referring to memorized waveform patterns. As a result, you can project high-density pictures in which the details of the objects are enhanced.

With its high performance built-in scan converter, the VPL-FE110 is compatible with a variety of input sources: composite, Y/C, component (Y/R-Y/B-Y) and RGB video, as well as computer signals (up to UXGA, 1600 x 1200, fV: 75 Hz) with a horizontal frequency of 15 to 100 kHz and a vertical frequency of 40 to 120 Hz. The multiscan technology employed by the VPL-FE110 performs advanced interpolation and finite impulse response (FIR) filtering independently in both horizontal and vertical directions, depending on the line structure of the input signal. With the progression toward HDTV and DTV, the VPL-FE110 is designed to support a wide variety of HDTV and DTV signals. The light source of the VPL-FE110 incorporates four lamps so that even if one lamp fails, the projector will still continue to function. If a second fails, the projector automatically switches to standby mode. The VPL-FE110, like other Sony large venue projectors, is designed with versatility in mind. The option slots in the rear panel accept a range of Sony IFB Interface Boards that allow multiple sources to be connected to the projection system at the same time. The VPL-FE110 can operate with only two of its four lamps functioning to provide a light output of 2000 ANSI lumens. In this mode, the life expectancy of a set of four lamps is doubled to 4, 000 hours. Power Focus and Power Zoom are easily controlled from the control panel or the supplied remote control unit. The projected image can be shifted up and down using the Picture Shift feature. Rather than limit your installation options, the VPL-FE110 expands them by making it easy to reproduce a wide variety of signals in their original aspects. With available resizing modes, the VPL-FE110 is able to project an entire 5: 4 aspect ratio image within the screen, even if your screen is installed for use with 4: 3 aspect ratio sources. APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) Pixel alignment is automated. Just press the APA key and innovative Sony technology detects the signal and adjusts for optimum image quality. The On-Screen Display for the VPL-FE110 is available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese and Chinese languages. With this projector's new graphical interface, it is very easy to use. The RM-PJ1001 wired/wireless remote control unit is supplied with the VPL-FE110 and controls all projector functions. When the Power Saving mode is activated, the VPL-FE110 automatically enters the power saving mode if no signals have been received for 10 minutes. The projector returns to normal operation as soon as a signal is input. The VPL- FE110 is the first projector from Sony to pack an all new networking function, expanding the possibilities for visual communication. The VPL-FE110 is equipped with a PC Card slot (INPUT C). By inserting a LAN/wireless LAN PC Card, the projector can be connected to a LAN (Local Area Network). The VPL-FE110 incorporates the Sony original application software "Presentation Viewer", which enables to open and project your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation files with the projector. When the VPL-FE110 is connected to a LAN, files shared on the network can be retrieved and opened for projection using the optional RM-PJM610 remote control unit. It is also possible to send your presentation files to the projector from a PC connected to the LAN. Browsing through the Internet is possible as well, using the web browser provided in the projector. Any PC within the same LAN can communicate with the VPL-FE110, through the web browser. Operating your presentation (preparing and running slide shows), controlling the projector's ON/STANDBY or its picture control, or organizing the presentation files can all be done with a PC connected to the LAN. You have full access without any need to install additional software. The VPL-FE110 has a memory storage, which makes it possible for you to save your presentation files in the projector. You can save the presentations prior to an event show, and then project it continuously - all you will need at the site is the VPL-FE110.
