Sony Launches Home Cinema Projectors For That Immersive 4K HDR Viewing Experience

Sony today announced the expansion of its ultra short throw home theatre line-up with the introduction of the VPL-VZ1000ES 4K HDR home theatre projector, designed to integrate easily into people’s homes. Sony’s latest innovative laser light source projector is High Dynamic Range (HDR) compatible with native 4K resolution. It can be positioned as little as six inches away from the wall, yet command the room with a 254cm (100 inch) image, measured diagonally in 16:9.

The VPL-VZ1000ES is approximately 925 x 494 x 219mm in size. Despite its compact size and lower price, the VPL-VZ1000ES generates 2,500 lumens of colour light output. Sony's advanced SXRD panels, coupled with the Z-Phosphor laser light engine, produce high dynamic contrast, enhancing the highlights and lowlights of HDR content.

"Up until now home cinema enthusiasts have needed a dedicated room for watching projected content; this isn't always ideal, since not everyone has the luxury of extra space to accommodate an extra-large screen. The new VPL-VZ1000ES changes this dynamic completely, providing an enchanting home theatre experience up to 120" in your existing living space."

Business & Industrial Solutions Marketing Division, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific ---

The VPL-VZ1000ES ultra short throw 4K HDR home theatre projector is available in Singapore now at a recommended retail price of S$28,000. For more information, visit Sony's Professional Solutions website at pro.sony-asia.com.

As it projects upwards, the VPL-VZ1000ES 4K HDR projector
requires so little space that it fits easily into any compact space...

For those seeking a more immersive experience, Sony also launched its line-up of Home Cinema projectors with three new high-performance models that bring an immersive 4K HDR viewing experience to the home at IFA 2017.

The three new models introduced are:

• The premium laser light source VPL-VW760ES projector in compact design 1 reproduces stunning 4K HDR images.
• The versatile VPL-VW360ES with high dynamic contrast and adjustable function of image quality is suited for various types of viewing contents.
• The affordable VPL-VW260ES delivers immersive and authentic 4K HDR images with great value-to- cost performance.

All three new models deliver high-contrast, detail-packed images thanks to Sony’s cutting-edge native SXRD panel. This is combined with Reality Creation, an impressive resolution processing technology that uses a unique Sony algorithm to perfectly map pixels, for consistently crisp images. in addition to HDR10, which is the standard HDR format for UHD, the new projectors also support HLG for broadcast and online content.

The startling difference between SDR and HDR quality can be seen in the eyes of the marmoset...

The Reality Creation enhances the authenticity of the viewing experience...

The VPL-VW760ES produces stunning images, using a laser light source with 2,000 lumens for spectacular and long-lasting brightness. The technology ensures high-dynamic contrast with new light level control that adjusts to the brightness of the scene in real-time, so bright scenes appear more vivid and darker scenes have more depth. Because of its compact size with 496mm in depth which is 40% smaller than current laser light source model 1 , the projector is easily installed in a shelf or hang on the ceiling.

The versatile VPL-VW360ES allows viewers to experience the beauty of 4K HDR with 1,500 lumens of brightness. The model has additional features to reproduce even more realistic images including an Advanced Iris for 200,000:1 dynamic contrast and picture positioning memory to adjust to the aspect ratio of whatever content is being shown.

The VPL-VW260ES delivers a 4K HDR experience with high cost performance. The 1,500 lumens projector includes many of the features of the other two projectors, including a native 4K SXRD panel, Reality Creation and TRILUMINOS TM , so users get precise and clear images at a cost-effective price point. Both the VPL-VW360ES and the VPL-VW260ES come in black and premium white colours to fit into various customer environment.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV & RX10 II : Imaging Beyond Our Eyes

Sony recently announced two of the most advanced, versatile Cyber-shot™ cameras, the compact RX100 IV and high-zoom RX10 II cameras.

The two new models feature the world’s first 1.0 type stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor with advanced signal processing and an attached DRAM memory chip. The high speed signal processing and DRAM memory chip work together to enable more than five times the readout rate of image data and are responsible for a variety of standout features that have previously only been available in selected professional-level video cameras. These impressive capabilities include 40x super slow motion video capture at up to 960fps, an ultra-fast Anti-Distortion Shutter with a maximum speed of 1/32000 second, high-resolution 4K movie shooting and more. 

“Utilising Sony's decades of expertise in digital imaging, we’ve made it possible for everyday customers to enjoy a professional imaging experience with the new RX100 IV and RX10 II cameras. These new cameras bring the excitement and creativity of high frame rate shooting, 4K recording and a variety of other pro-quality features to a whole new audience into a compact, portable body.”

The RX100 IV...

“The new RX100 IV and RX10 II break through all existing boundaries of compact cameras, and will allow professionals, hobbyists and enthusiasts to capture images and videos that they never before thought were possible.”

~ Dai Tanaka, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific ~

Really?

This is what happened during the on-site demo...

Preparation before the demo - In this demo, the model (in red) will be holding up a water balloon. The lady in black will be using a wand with a needle to prick the water balloon...

This is what happened - Unbelievable speed and clarity from a compact camera...

A first for Sony consumer cameras, the new RX100 IV and RX10 II both have the ability to record super slow-motion videos of up to 40x slower than the standard rate, allowing you to capture and replay fleeting moments of action with incredible detail, resolution and clarity. Prior to shooting, you can choose among 960/1000fps, 480/500fps and 240/250fps frame rates and among 60p/50p, 30p/25p and 24p playback formats to optimise the recording to fit the speed of the moving subject.

This was a landscape shot taken on-site. On zooming, the resolution appears to be a little grainy under low light conditions...

Another demo to illustrate the End Trigger function with a second balloon is pricked 

- This is an amazing function to capture the decisive moment only after it has occurred...

The End Trigger function for video recording allows you to press on the trigger button only AFTER the action has concluded. This mode begins shooting two to four seconds before the movie button is pressed, enabling you to capture the decisive moment with much more consistency and accuracy.

The new Cyber-shot™ cameras from Sony will be available at all Sony Stores, Sony Centres, and selected Sony authorised dealers at the dates and recommended retail prices stated below:

Sony A7S - Extraordinary Light Sensitivity For Low Light Perfection

Merlion City

June 2014

With the recent launch of its A7S, Sony's family of the world’s smallest full-frame interchangeable lens cameras is complete. The new A7S model puts extraordinary sensitivity, low noise and spectacular 4K video quality into the hands of professional photographers and videographers. 



The innovative A7S camera features a newly developed, 12.2 effective megapixel 35mm full frame Exmor CMOS sensor paired with a powerful BIONZ X image processor, allowing it to shoot at a sensitivity range of ISO 50 – 409,600  with unprecedented dynamic range and low noise.



The new model is also the world’s first camera to utilise the entire width of a full-frame image sensor in 4K video acquisition, and does this without cropping or line skipping as it can read and process data from every one of the sensor’s pixels. This allows 4K video shooters to utilise all of the artistic and creative benefits provided by the unique sensor.

An insightful session with Den Lennie, who illustrated out the professional video capabilities of the Sony A7S camera with live Singapore scenes that he took over the past few days...

The A7S showcase with stunning visual and audio quality...

A thoughtful memento during the World Cup season...

Wide ISO Sensitivity (ISO 50-409,600) and Impressive Dynamic Range

Sony, the world’s largest manufacturer of image sensors , has developed a unique 12.2 MP sensor with extraordinary sensitivity that allows the  7S camera to collect dramatically more light than traditional cameras and to produce beautifully detailed, low-noise images in even the darkest environments. 

Extreme versatility with the flexibility to change different lens and the option to add a flash unit...

The camera also features a newly developed on-sensor technology that allows it to optimise the dynamic range throughout the entirety of the ISO 50-409,600 sensitivity range. And this on-sensor technology also broadens the range of tonal gradation in bright environments while also minimising noise in dark scenes, allowing the camera to deliver impressive results in these extreme conditions where other cameras (and image sensors) typically struggle.

Lightweight in the palm your hand...









Low-light Shooting Advantages

The high ISO sensitivity range of the  7S camera is extremely effective for still image shooting, especially in low-light conditions, where the camera can shoot at high shutter speeds while keeping noise as low as possible. This is particularly useful for shooting indoor or in dimly lit sporting events.

Amazingly clear low-light visuals taken at ISO 51,200...
