VPL-AW15

With an astounding screen size of up to 200" (measured diagonally), this high-end projector presents you with a truly theater-like atmosphere. Sit back and enjoy the bright scenes that the Advanced Iris Function delivers, while also providing you with three auto modes and sensitivity settings for additional adjustments. Even more impressive is an achieved 12,000:1 contrast ratio, which produces deeper, more robust black levels and vibrant, clear colors. Capable of being mounted on a table or the ceiling, this projector offers maximum versatility to transform almost any room into a cinema. And for 24p sources such as Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD, 24p True Cinema technology faithfully preserves the integrity of the original film, avoiding conventional processing that can introduce unwanted motion artifacts. You'll experience movies with natural, cinematic motion, the way they are seen at the theater. Although this projector has a native resolution of 720p, it will conveniently accept 1080p/24 and 1080p/60 signals as well. (1080p video is internally converted and displayed at 720p).

24p True Cinema

Many films are shot at 24 images per second. Because of the limitations of conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels), these 24 images can’t be faithfully reproduced. The sequence of the 24 images gets altered in order to display the content on television. The result is a unnatural, jerky movement that the movie creators did not intend. With 24p True Cinema, the 24 progressive images are displayed as they should be, in the same sequence as the original film source. In combination with next-generation video devices like Blu-ray® Disc, the same film-like motion that you could only enjoy in the theaters in now available in the comfort of your living room.

Advanced Iris2 Function

This function reproduces bright images in bright scenes and deep blacks in dark scenes by dynamically changing the opening according to the level of input signals. Two “Auto” modes offer the user some flexibility depending on content. And each mode has three sensitivity settings- Recommended, Fast and Slow to allow additional adjustments. Working in combination with the High Contrast Plate, an awesome contrast ratio of up to 12,000:1 can now be achieved.

High Contrast Plate

The High Contrast Plate adjusts diagonal light to reduce light leakage that can take place between the ON/OFF status of liquid crystal elements. Working with the Advanced Iris Function, the High Contrast Plate controls light emission from each LCD panel to deepen black levels and offer a high contrast ratio.

Lens Shift Function

This function adjusts the picture position both vertically and horizontally to allow for off center positioning and very flexible installation options.

ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens

The All Range Crisp Focus Lens delivers a crisp focused picture across the screen.

RCP (Real Color Processing)

Real Color Processing allows the user to target specific colors on the picture and fine adjust their color and hue without changing the overall picture’s color and hue.

Full Digital Processing

Sony’s Full Digital Video Processing circuits include a number of processes designed to optimize picture performance of any input source, the 12- Bit Panel Driver achieves excellent gradation reproduction and a high level of detail.
