Cost effective laser projection with excellent picture quality, easy installation and low running costs

The VPL-PHZ10 laser projector is a versatile, affordable choice for installation in a wide range of education, business and entertainment environments.

The powerful Z-Phosphor laser light source is teamed with Sony's advanced BrightEra 3LCD projection engine to deliver extremely bright, detail-packed WUXGA resolution images with generous 5000 lumens brightness and rich, stable colours. This laser light source allows up to 20,000 hours* of virtually zero maintenance operation without the worry of sudden lamp failures. An automated filter system cuts the hassle of regular dust cleaning. Near-zero maintenance needs are complemented by a range of energy-saving features, significantly driving down total lifetime ownership costs. Constant Bright maintains consistent light output levels throughout the laser's 20,000 hours (at light output mode "Middle") recommended lifespan.

Offering a stylish blend-in design and low fan noise, the VPL-PHZ10 fits smoothly into almost any environment – from academic institutions to corporate environments. Mount the projector at any angle, even on its side or upside down. Set-up's easier than ever with a friendly new installation menu.

High Image Quality

Very High Image Quality with 3LCD Projection System and Z-Phosphor Laser Light Source
Combining a Z-Phosphor laser light source with a 3LCD optical system, the ground-breaking VPL-PHZ10 and VPL-PWZ10 projectors generate a powerful 5,000 lumens respectively of color light output at WUXGA resolution (VPL-PWZ10 at WXGA resolution). Each projector’s light engine uses blue laser as its light source, which excites a phosphorous material that in turn creates white light. The white light is delivered to the 3LCD optical system, which generates constant, vibrant RGB color through a color-splitting process. This produces brightness sufficient for a broad range of commercial, academic, and entertainment applications.

Crisp, Detail-packed WUXGA Resolution Images
These projectors deliver an amazing WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200), which exceeds Full-HD resolution (1920 x 1080). It also allows projection in a wider display range. More information can be displayed on screen, so you can see the whole page without scrolling. Extremely clear and detailed high-quality images are projected, even on a large screen, and native Full-HD images can be projected full screen. These ground-breaking projectors are the ultimate tool for projecting images in a range of applications requiring exceptional detail.

Advanced Picture Refinement Technologies

• See Extreme Clarity in Every Pixel
Sony’s Reality Creation function has now been adapted for the VPL-PHZ10 and VPL-PWZ10. It reproduces the texture and color of the original WUXGA (VPL-PWZ10 at WXGA) signal by restoring missing information lost during packaging of the original contents to disk and broadcast transmission.

• Dynamic Image with High Contrast
The Contrast Enhancer function automatically adjusts the contrast for optimum viewing. It compensates for dark and bright parts of an image by analyzing the signal component of each scene in real time to enhance contrast.

Energy Efficient & Low Total Cost of Ownership

Up to 20,000 Hours* of Virtually Zero Maintenance Operation
Thanks to its Z-Phosphor laser light source with control technology, long-life LCD panel, and advanced filter system, the laser projectors (VPL-PHZ10/PWZ10) offer up to 20,000 hours* of operation without maintenance or replacement. Virtually zero maintenance requirements and a range of energy-saving features reduce total lifetime ownership costs compared with conventional projectors.
* Actual hours may vary depending on usage environment.

Hassle-free Automatic Filter Cleaning
Now you can focus on great-looking images instead of arduous maintenance tasks. A new automated filter cleaning system removes dust every 100 hours*.

Energy-efficient Functions • Auto Dimming Mode The laser projectors are equipped with a light source dimming function. After 10 seconds of a static signal feed, the light source dims by approximately 15% which is barely noticeable. If the VPL-PHZ10/PWZ10 are left powered on while not in use, after a set period of time the unit will automatically detect no change of signal input and will dim the light source to as low as approximately 5% of original brightness to significantly reduce energy consumption.

• Blank (Picture Muting) The projectors can temporarily disable video signal output. This function can be easily operated with just the touch of a button on the supplied Remote Commander unit. In addition, this function allows blank image projection with low power consumption using light source control technology.

• Auto Light Source Control for Energy Saving
The brightness of the light source’s output is automatically adjusted depending on the brightness of the projected image, to avoid unnecessary power consumption. When showing darker images that don’t require high brightness, the light source output decreases.

Installation Advantages

Easy Lens Shift Operation
With the isolated vertical and horizontal lens shift tab, it is easy to adjust the position of projected images.

Tilt Angle-free
Enjoy greater installation flexibility by positioning the projector freely at any angle – on its side or even upside down.

Advanced Geometric Correction
Each corner and side can be grabbed and fit squarely to the desired position. This feature is useful when an offset projection is necessary.

 

Simple Installation with HDBaseT
HDBaseT is a multi-signal transmission system via a single cable, which simplifies the installation task. It cuts total system cost by reducing not just cabling requirements but also the number of required signal extenders and receiver boxes.
One Cat5e/6 cable can run up to 100 meters, reducing the number of cable runs and eliminating the need for signal extenders. And fewer signal extenders and receiver boxes mean fewer potential points of failure. In addition, Cat5e/6 cables are much easier to terminate than cables such as HDMI, and therefore can be simply and quickly terminated even onsite during the installation process.

 

Professional Calibration
The projectors offer a professional calibration function to adjust the hue, saturation and brightness of each target color to get exactly the picture you want. With this capability, you can tweak the images to perfection.

In addition, the projectors adjust the color space for red, green and blue, tweaking the images according to the installation condition.

Super Quiet Operation Noise
High fan noise is typical in virtually any condition. But the VPL-PHZ10 and VPL-PWZ10 offer Sony’s blend-in design which combines a compact, slim design with the industry’s lowest fan noise in this class of laser- phosphor 3LCD projector. This ensures discreet, unobtrusive operation in quiet environments, from classrooms to meeting rooms.

User Advantages Save Time with Every Presentation The laser projectors deliver instant on/off. Turn the unit on and you have immediate full brightness. Turn it off and you’re done. You’re not even limited in the number or duration of on/off cycles. It’s the total convenience that today’s users expect. Picture Mode New modes ensure great-looking pictures in any presentation conditions. Select Standard, Dynamic, Brightness Priority, or Multi-screen Picture mode for optimized image quality, with any source, in any room.

Built-in Auto Calibration
After extended periods, color can be automatically calibrated to the original factory condition. There’s no need for extra calibration equipment or cameras; a built-in color sensor stores all the necessary information.
