Sony VPL-HS51 Cineza Projector

The new Sony VPL-HS51 Cineza projector is a high-resolution 3LCD panel projector with up to 6000:1 contrast ratio aimed at home theater use. Picture position (both horizontal and vertical) can be easily adjusted with the lens shift function, which expands the projector's placement and installation options without distorting image quality.





The new Sony Cineza VPL-HS51 projector is equipped with an advanced iris function, enabling the projector to dynamically adjust the video image according to the level of the input signal. This results in high contrast ratio of up to 6000:1, along with reproduction of the most subtle details. The HS51 also incorporates three proprietary 720p LCD panels that provide 2,764,800 pixel resolution (1280x720) optimized for HD video input.

An All Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens and Real Color Processor (RCP) further enhances colors and images. The color of each hue can be adjusted independently for a customized picture. The 1.6x zoom lens allows for a short throw distance, with the option to project on screen sizes of 40- to 200 inches.

An advanced 12-bit panel driver is included for high color graduation. It also has a new HD I/P converter that improves not only NTSC video conversion but high-definition signals as well. Additionally, Sony VPL-HS51 Cineza LCD Video Projector's unique fan design generates a low level of noise for extremely quite operation.

Numerous inputs are also provided, including an HDMI interface that allows copy-protected, high-definition video content to be delivered from a DVI/HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compatible set-top box.

Sony VPL-HS51 Cineza LCD Video Projector is also supplied with Image Director 2 software, enabling gamma adjustment via a PC connector. Image Director 2 works in conjunction with Sony's Real Color Processing (RCP) for precision picture adjustment.

Finally, Sony VPL-HS51 Cineza LCD Video Projector is equipped with an Ethernet connector for complete AV system integration via IP Control Protocol.

Sony VPL-HS51 Cineza LCD Video Projector is available since October for about $3,500.
