3LCD BrightEra Technology
Sony's 0.59 inch BrightEra inorganic TFT 3-LCD panels deliver improved panel light
resistance, higher resolution, high brightness and increased panel reliability.
7000 hours long-lasting lamp
New driving scheme reduces gap expansion that reduces brightness gradation and
a new cooling system allows uniformity in the temperature of the glass bulb which
prevents the glass from clouding.
ECO Mode Key
Users can easily select power-saving ECO Modes. The most energy-efficient mode
is accessible through a single button-push and further adjustments are available
through an easily understood menu system.
Lamp Dimming
Reduce power consumption without user detection or after a user pre-set time,
reduce brightness and power consumption up to 30% power usage for ultimate
power savings.
Auto Mode (Auto Brightness Adjustment Function)
Adjust brightness depending on picture, The darker the picture, the less energy
used by the lamp. (Max 70% Lamp power reduction based on image).
Picture Mute - (Instant off / Instant On)
New Picture Mute reduces power consumption down to 30% power usage, saving
cost and lamp hours. No need to power complete off and turn back on that does
increase power consumption and time consuming.
ECO Gauge
At time of projector shut down an ECO achievement indication (gauge) appears to
show the user how well they have used their projector. The more ECO features
used, the better the ECO green leaf mark. (Calculated by use of ECO Functions and
actual lamp wattage)
Vertical Keystone Adjustment
The projector can correct keystone distortion by +/- 30% for perfect installation
adjustment to the smart board or screen. (Note that since this is an electronic
correction, it will reduce the picture quality slightly).
Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment)
When a computer is used as a picture source, APA automatically optimises Phase,
Pitch and Shift values. These can also be adjusted manually.
Digital Zoom
With Digital Zoom, if you are displaying a computer-sourced image, you can
enlarge a selected area of the screen image up to four times.
Off and Go
At the end of a presentation, you can turn off the power supply to the projector
immediately, instead of going through a ‘power down’ cycle.
Direct Power On/Off
With this function, there is no need to go through ‘Standby’ mode when powering
up the projector. The projector can be set to activate as soon as power is applied.
Filter replaced at the same time as lamp
The filter only needs to be changed when a new lamp is fitted, potentially halving
disruption due to maintenance.

Cinema and Presentation) that can be selected to suite the nature of the source
material.
