Description
The VPL-VW790ES uses an ultra-pure and reliable Z-Phosphor™ laser light source. This Sony developed light source offers bright images for up to 20,000 hours of uninterrupted operation…no lamp replacement, and virtually zero maintenance.
Richer, Deeper Blacks
Featured in Sony’s commercial, digital cinema projectors, the 790ES employs SXRD panels to produce rich, inky blacks. Improvements to the panel’s reflective silicon layer now mean even better light control, for precisely reproduced shadows and gradations. Clear, cinematic motion and image smoothness are also characteristics of this patented technology.
IMAX® Enhanced
All of Sony’s 4K Home Cinema Projectors support IMAX® Enhanced content. They meet the most stringent performance standards set by IMAX, DTS and Hollywood’s leading technical specialists.
Advanced Iris Control
In addition to the dynamically-controlled laser light output, an Advanced Iris is also incorporated. Both the iris control and laser can be adjusted independently, and dynamically, to optimise light output for both dark and bright well-lit scenes. The result is again, deeper blacks. Bright, vibrant color is also a product of this technology. Infinite, dynamic contrast makes every scene spring to life with detail and realism.
Super-resolution Reality Creation
Exclusive Reality Creation technology analyses images right down to the pixel level. It uses powerful pattern-matching algorithms developed over years of movie production to enhance image crispness without increasing digital picture noise. It also upscales existing full HD Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD movies to near 4K quality.
TRILUMINOS™ Color Technology
The VPL-VW760ES incorporates TRILUMINOS color, reproducing more tones and textures than standard projectors. Hard-to-reproduce crimson reds, aqua blues, and emerald greens are displayed beautifully so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid. Skin tones are more accurate too.
Ultimate HDR Compatibility
High Dynamic Range considerations are paramount in high-end cinema design and installation. HDR video offers an expanded brightness range that delivers more realistic, high-contrast images and brilliant colours. Compatible with both HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) formats, Sony’s home cinema projectors reproduce colour and contrast that’s faithful to the creator’s intention.
HDMI 18 Gbps
With an ever increasing flow of 4K HDR 60P content by major film producers, 18Gbps HDMI capability is essential. The VPL-VW790ES is fully compliant and displays the smoother expressions of color gradation that this technology offers.
X1™ for projector
The X1™ for projector technology takes the acclaimed BRAVIA TV video processing technology and optimises it for projection. The processor combines innovative technologies for high-precision frame analysis, with features like Dynamic HDR Enhancer and Super Resolution for high-quality images.
2,000 Lumens Light Output
At 2000 Lumens, the 790ES can be considered for open-plan living spaces along with its staple placement in dedicated cinema/media rooms.
Digital Focus Optimiser
Each pixel of each image is analysed using our own advanced algorithm to perform optimum image quality correction so that image focus is better than ever, even in the corners.
Picture Position Memory
This brilliant feature stores lens, zoom, and shift settings for up to five screen formats. Picture Position Memory remembers key settings so you can quickly watch movies in the ideal format. Match aspect ratios, including 16:9 and Cinemascope, and store these settings for easy recall. And nine calibrated picture modes including two theatre film modes, cinema digital, reference, TV, photo, game, bright cinema, and bright TV, allow on-the-fly adjustments to basic image parameters such as color saturation and hue, to better match the content.
