Sony VPL-FHZ80 WUXGA Large Venue Laser Projector
The Sony VPLFHZ80 is the perfect projector for large venue installations. With a high brightness of 6000 lumens, an amazingly long laser life of up to 30,000 hours and flexible installation features it ticks all the boxes. The major benefit of course is the incredible flexibility. With vertical and horizontal lens shift and keystone correction the VPL-FHZ80 is a great fit for off centre installations. A massive 1.6x optical zoom makes it flexible and a great fit for replacing an existing installation. The VPLFHZ80 can also be equipped with 5 optional lenses so can be easily adapted to longer or shorter installations.
Optional Lenses & Throw Distances
Measurements provided may vary slightly between batches.
Even powerful projectors can suffer from washed-out image colours in strongly-lit rooms. Exclusive to Sony, Bright View delivers high-impact images that don’t sacrifice colour. Newly improved Reality Creation ensures images, diagrams and text look clear and sharp, even in bright conditions. Intelligent Settings with Ambiance match projected images with your environment for an enhanced viewing experience: there’s even an ambient light sensor to measure room brightness.
Bright, beautiful colours
Bright View is Sony’s unique processing technology that brightens images while maintaining rich colour – even in brightly-lit business and educational environments.
Enhanced viewing experience
Intelligent Settings with Ambiance uses a built-in light sensor to measure room brightness, automatically adjusting Bright View mode, colour gain and Reality Creation to suit your presentation environment.
Crisp, high-impact images
The use of 4K photos and videos is increasingly common in presentations. While the VPL-FHZ85/80 are WUXGA projectors, they offer a 4K60P input to display images with quality that’s close-to-true 4K resolution. Reality Creation is Sony’s processing technology that’s been improved for displaying 4K content better, ensuring images look crisper with a stronger feeling of depth.
Sophisticated design and superior installation flexibility
The light, compact VPL-FHZ85/80 make an elegant addition to any modern work space. Its understated blend-in design features a flat top surface that minimises visual impact when the projector is ceiling mounted. Installation is simplified with a choice of optional lenses, while a class-leading lens shift capability overcomes challenges like ceiling obstacles and other AV equipment.
Beautifully slim and stylish
The slim, stylish case design features a flat top surface that blends in discreetly when the projector is ceiling mounted.
Generous lens shift range
The class-leading vertical +70% lens shift adjustment range offers more installation freedom. A range of lens options suits virtually any room size and throw requirements: the quick-release bayonet simplifies lens exchange.
4K 60P input capable
The projector’s 4K 60P input capability makes life simpler when you’re using the VPL-FHZ85/80 in multi-screen set ups with other devices like flat panel sub-screens. Just split the same 4K signal to drive all your displays, with no conversion needed.
Brighter for longer
While other projectors can fade over time, the VPL-FHZ85/80 are engineered to maintain consistent image brightness. An exclusive Intelligent Settings feature automatically monitors real-world usage, optimising settings to keep images consistently bright. The sealed laser light source and automated filter cleaning system prevent dust build-up, ensuring cool, efficient operation with uncompromised image brightness.
Designed with intelligence
Intelligent Settings simplifies installation and maximises performance based on usage, image detail, colour richness and fidelity, light output, cooling level and output noise. The Meeting/Classroom function controls laser output to keep brightness as high as possible for a period of actual usage time.
Hassle-free filter cleaning
Focus on great-looking images instead of time-consuming maintenance. The automated filter cleaning system removes dust every 100 hours, ensuring unrestricted clean air intake for optimised cooling.
Keep dust out of the picture
The laser light source is sealed to prevent dust accumulation and eliminating reduced brightness. The dedicated cooling duct structure for the projector’s 3LCD panels is covered with an air filter to prevent dust from entering.
Data Cloning
Settings for one projector can be copied to a second and subsequent projectors using a USB memory drive. This greatly simplifies installation and set-up of multiple projectors.
Auto Input Select
The Auto Input Select feature automatically selects an active signal input, so there’s no need to change input each time a device is connected to the projector.
Auto Power On
Connect the VPL-FHZ85/80 to a switched-on computer, and the projector turns on automatically without having to operate the power button.
