Sony Unveils Professional SXRD Laser Projector

Sony Electronics released its professional projector, the VPL-GTZ380, which enhances the company's lineup of native 4K SXRD models to include its highest brightness, 10,000 lumen model.  The new projector combines contrast, brightness, high dynamic range and resolution with a wide color gamut for any distance and lighting condition for a wide range of corporate, entertainment and simulation applications. The flagship projector incorporates cutting-edge technology into a small form factor that provides installation flexibility and enables quiet operation.

"In a few short years, our SXRD lineup of 4K projectors have become the industry standard with installations at influential customer sites across the world," said Theresa Alesso, pro division president, Sony Electronics.  "The newest addition to the family, the VPL-GTZ380, excels in dark and bright environments and is a direct result of insights we've gathered from key clients in training and simulation, as well as at entertainment venues, corporations, museums and planetariums.  We're proud to have developed a new solution that not only exceeds their requirements but fosters users' creativity allowing them to bring their vision to life with unparalleled image expression."

Through an optional license, the VPL-GTZ380 can also support 4K 120Hz and low transport delay, which are essential for displaying CG images for training simulators and large-screen displays of eSports events.  The model has additional optional 3D and Night Vision Goggle (NVG) functions for use in VR research facilities and for specialized training.

The VPL-GTZ380 is planned to be available in January of 2021.
