Sony today announced at CEDIA (USA) its  latest home theatre front projector for the custom install market. The VPL-VW1100ES 4K front projector joins the  4K VPL-VW500ES and VPL-HW55ES Full HD 3D home projectors announced  at IFA 2013 as the leading SXRD-based, large-format displays for the home. Like  its VPL-VW1100ES predecessor, this new projector is designed to bring the high  quality, immersive images of a big screen cinema experience into the home.
Tak  Nakane, Product Manager at Sony Europe, commented: “Our 4K projector line-up continues  to raise the bar on what the most discerning home entertainment enthusiast  expects from Sony, whether they want to enjoy the best picture quality or unrivaled  sound, we have the right solution for every environment.”

Two years ago, Sony introduced its  EISA-award-winning home theatre front projector capable of displaying stunning  4K images. That 4K projector has been updated and is now debuting as the VPL-VW1100ES 4K home theatre projector, designed specifically to support the  evolving 4K Ultra HD standards such as HDMI Specification Version 2.0 to  accommodate 4K/60p content.
Designed to meet the needs of custom  installers, and exceed the expectations of home entertainment enthusiasts, the  immersive visual experience of this latest projector delivers more than four  times the resolution of HDTV. With 2,000 ANSI-lumens of brightness, the VPL-VW1100ES projector is suitable for screen sizes up to 300 inches. It has outstanding  black levels due to Sony's Advanced Iris3 technology and can achieve an  incredible 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast. This projector offers a variety of  installation options and includes dual triggers, a 2.1x motorised zoom,  expanded lens shift, an RS232 interface, control over IP and compatibility with  leading home automation systems.

The VPL-VW1100ES projector also uses Sony’s  Reality Creation picture engine to dramatically enhance all video content  regardless of source, however it also integrates the latest HDMI standard to  support 4K/60p playback for smoother images when watching fast moving action  content. Furthermore, the VPL-VW1100ES has an exclusive upscaling algorithm  designed for “Mastered in 4K” Blu-ray Discs from Sony Picture Entertainment,  which enable the viewer to enjoy more accurate 4K picture quality from HD  content delivered on Blu-ray discs. For greater versatility, it can also  display Full HD 3D movies, as well as 2D and 3D anamorphic films.
The VPL-VW1100ES is available in Europe from November. For further  information, please visit www.sony.co.uk/pro/products/projectors-homecinema.
