Purpose-designed AV equipment This high-quality, compact Sony projector has been created to meet the needs of professionals such as teachers & those involved with education. Hard-wearing & affordable, it will be an asset to your presentation or lesson. High-resolution projections Sony Bright Era 3LCD technology delivers enhanced quality, brightness, contrast, colour & panel reliability. Enjoy clearer projections with a consistent brightness range from 2700 lumens & an impressive 3000:1 contrast ratio. Choose between XGA or WXGA resolution according to your needs. The projector can correct keystone distortion by +/- 30% for perfect installation adjustment to the screen, & Digital Zoom lets you enlarge selected areas of computer-sourced images by up to four times. Adaptable display Choose from six picture modes including Dynamic, Standard, Game, Blackboard, Cinema & Presentation to achieve the optimum picture quality for your particular setting. Three brightness modes combine with these for the best picture/brightness mode according to source & environment. The E Series V-PLEX-226 also features Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment), so that Phase, Pitch & Shift are automatically optimised for connected computer image sources, which can be manually adjusted. Impressive projector connections Feel the awesome connective benefits of two RGB connectors, an HDMI port, USB (Universal Serial Bus), S-Video, video-in, LAN/RJ45, RS232, monitor out & microphone in jacks. Hight quality mono audio is output via an integrated 16 W speaker, & the Sony VPLEX226 also offers Auto Input Search, which detects the input with an incoming signal, automatically switching to it. Your setup procedure will be so much quicker & simpler with this feature. Flexible functions for smoother presentations The VP-LE-X226 Projector offers a Picture Muting/ Audio Muting function which is ideal if you need to black out the image or switch off the audio. This one-touch remote control operation mutes video & audio simultaneously, & a separate 'mute audio' button allows audio-only muting. Use the Audio Switcher Facility to overcome the need for a separate audio switcher. The projector can select between two audio sources, routing them to the amplification system in a room via a variable audio output. If you need to look at other material on your PC screen midway through your presentation, just use the Picture Freeze Function for quick & discreet control, using your PC independently of the projector's display. Economical runner The VPL-EX22-6 Series Projector offers 7000 hours of lamp life augmented by three brightness modes, auto lamp dimming, auto picture dimming & an ECO gauge that ensures it runs in the most cost-effective way possible. Turn the projector off immediately, bypassing the 'power down' cycle, by using the Direct Power On/ Off mode, which eliminates the need to go through ' Standby' mode when turning the projector on. A new ECO Picture Mute cuts power consumption down to 30%, saving cost & lamp life. Use it as an instant off/instant on between sessions, saving time & power consumption. Enjoy 7000 hours lamp life with a new driving scheme that reduces gap expansion (which minimises brightness gradation). Bulb temperature remains uniform with a new cooling system, preventing the glass from clouding. The Filter Cleaning Cycle means a filter only needs to be changed when a new lamp is inserted, reducing disruption due to maintenance. The projector also houses security measures including password protection & physical anti-theft anchor points. Save on power consumption & running hassles without sacrificing image quality when you use the Sony VPL-EX226 PC Projector.
