Sony today expanded the S-Series line up with the  launch of nine new 3LCD Short Throw and Ultra-Short Throw projectors, enhancing  its Education offering and bringing high quality, economical projection  to the classroom. The S-Series offers a longer lasting lamp time of 10000 hours  (Short Throw) and 8000 hours (Ultra Short Throw) and achieves outstanding picture  quality through 2600 - 3200 lumens colour brightness.
The line-up comprises four new Short Throw models – the VPL-SW235, VPL-SW225, VPL-SX235 and VPL-SX225 – and five Ultra-Short Throw projectors –  the VPL-SW630, VPL-SW620, VPL-SX630, VPL-SW630C and VPL-SW620C.   
Perfect for smaller classrooms and meeting rooms, Sony’s Short Throw  and Ultra-Short Throw projectors can throw high-resolution images up to approximately 2m diagonal across onto a whiteboard, wall, or any white surface –  from distances around 44cm (XGA Ultra Short Throw) and 75cm (XGA Short Throw).

   Sony’s 3LCD Short Throw projectors provide excellent picture quality  with 2600 - 3200 lumens class colour brightness for natural and vivid image  colour. As well as the extended lamp replacement time, the projectors come with  additional features that make them environment-friendly and reduce the total cost of  ownership. ECO mode automatically turns off the lamp after 10 minutes without an  input signal, while Auto Dimming reduces brightness to save energy and extend  lamp hours.
The VPL-SW630C and VPL-SW620C models come with enhanced  interactivity, including dual pen and auto calibration, as well as additional  rich education tools, making it easier for students and teachers to collaborate  effectively in the classroom.  All S-Series  models can be connected wirelessly via a PC (Windows or Mac) or tablet (iOS or  Android).
Robert Meakin, Business and Education Product Manager, Sony  Professional Solutions Europe, said: “Sony is continuing to enhance its projector  line up to meet the needs of the Education market. We now have a very strong,  unified line up, that meets the needs of Secondary Schools, with the recently  enhanced E Series range for replacement business and now the Short Throw and  Ultra-Short Throw S-Series.  In  developing the S-Series it was all about understanding how projectors are used  in the classroom and how we could make them the most efficient and green as  possible. We have standardised our entire Education line up to meet the needs  of teachers and enhance connectivity and collaboration in the classroom.
