 Bright, Beautiful Images With Low Running Costs,
Minimal Maintenance, And Flexible Installation
Sony’s growing line of Z-PhosphorTM laser light source projectors, the VPL-PHZ11 (WUXGA) and VPL-PWZ11 (WXGA) in
5,000 lm, are extremely easy to install. They offer improvements in lens shift range and function over conventional
lamp projectors, making them ideal for business and academic use. This class of projector is truly groundbreaking in a
market currently dominated by lamp projectors – simplified installation and easy lens shift operation represent a great
opportunity to try laser projectors for the first time!

 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-PHZ11 and
VPL-PWZ11 projectors generate a powerful 5,000 lumens respectively of color light output at WUXGA resolution
(VPL-PWZ11 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
Developed for Sony’s home theater projectors, the Reality Creation function has now been adapted for the VPL-
PHZ11 and VPL-PWZ11. It reproduces the texture and color of the original WUXGA (VPL-PWZ11 at WXGA) signal by
restoring missing information lost during packaging of the original contents to disk and broadcast transmission.

 Good TCO & Energy Efficient
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-PHZ11/PWZ11) 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

 • 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.

Constant Brightness Mode for Stable Projection

Constant brightness mode allows you to maintain brightness throughout the expected 20,000* hour life
by driving each laser projector at reduced light output. This is useful for applications including museums,
conference rooms, or even classrooms where you want to maintain a consistent visual experience for the
audience.
* Actual hours may vary depending on usage environment.

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 to that, the projectors adjust the color space for red, green and blue, tweak the images according to

Super Quiet Operation Noise

High fan noise is typical in compact projectors. But the VPL-PHZ11 and VPL-PWZ11 offer Sony’s blend-in design
which combines a compact, slim design with the industry’s lowest*1 fan noise in this class of laser-phosphor
3LCD projector. This ensures discreet, unobtrusive operation in quiet environments, from classrooms to
meeting rooms.
