Deliver Powerful Presentations Even in the Most
Limited Spaces with an Ultra-short-throw Projector
Ultra-short Projection Distance
The VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors come equipped
with an ultra-short focal length lens, which makes it possible to
project images from a very short distance.
Sony’s VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM data projectors are ideal for education, training, corporate
applications, and a range of other uses. Designed to add flexibility to classroom and business
presentations, they achieve large-screen projection from very short distances, thanks to an
ultra-powerful short-throw lens. This solves typical problems such as the presenter being distracted
by the projected light, or blocking it during his or her presentation.
These powerful projectors also deliver installation flexibility with an optical zoom and lens shift
capability. This greatly reduces the time and hassle of fine-tuning the image position without having
to physically move the projector or sacrifice image quality. In addition, these projectors include
Sony’s original wall mount (PSS-640) which allows adjustment of projector pitch, roll, and yaw.
VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors are economically designed for optimum energy efficiency,
thanks to their auto power-saving function, picture muting function with lamp control technology,
long-lasting lamp, and low power consumption.
Additionally a variety of network functions such as Web Control and Network Presentation are
available, with rich inputs and outputs to suit a broad range of applications.
Packing the most advanced projector technologies into a stylish design,VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM
projectors are an excellent choice, delivering a high brightness of up to 2,500 lumens*1and
high-quality images with WXGA resolution.

FEATURES
A short projection distance has two key benefits. The presenter
will not be distracted by the projected image, and it’s easier
for the audience to see the projected image because screen
shadow is minimized.

•Blank (Picture Muting)
The VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors
can temporarily disable video signal output.
This function can be easily operated with just
the touch of a button on the supplied Remote
Commander™ unit. In addition, this function
allows blank image projection with low power
consumption using lamp control technology.
File control by interactive pen Dual-pen
Installation Advantages
The VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors are equipped with an
optical zoom and lens shift capability. Using this function, the
position of the projected image can be easily adjusted to the
desired settings during installation. This greatly reduces the time
and hassle of fine-tuning the image position without having
to physically move the projector or sacrifice image quality. In
addition, these projectors ship with an original wall mount from
Sony which allows adjustment of projector pitch, roll, and yaw.
“Blend-in” Design
The VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors showcase a new
low-profile chassis, so these projectors appear to blend into
the ceiling or wall on which they are mounted.

Interactive Function
The Interactive function of the VPL-SW526M allows presentation
files to be controlled using an interactive pen. In addition, two
users can draw concurrently on the projection surface using
dual interactive pens.
The values are approximate.
•Lamp Dimming Function
The projectors are equipped with a lamp dimming function.
After 10 seconds of a static signal feed, the lamp dims by
approximate 15% which is hardly noticeable.
If one of these projectors is left powered on while not in
use, after a set period of time it will automatically detect
no change of signal input and will dim the lamp to as low
as approximate 30% of original brightness to significantly
reduce energy consumption.

Energy Saving Design
The VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors offer remarkably
low power consumption, allowing users to make significant
savings on their electricity expenses.
ECO MODE Key
With a single push of the ECO MODE key on either the
projector or the supplied Remote Commander unit, users can
select an energy-saving setting from the ECO Mode menu.
Long-lasting Lamp
By incorporating a high-performance lamp and advanced
lamp-control technology, the VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM
projectors deliver an extremely long lamp replacement time
of 6,000 hours.*

Auto Power Saving Function
•Auto Mode (Auto Brightness Adjustment Function)
The brightness of the lamp’s output is automatically
adjusted depending on the brightness of the projected
image, to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
When showing darker images that don’t require high
brightness, lamp output decreases.

Superb Picture Quality
Brilliant Color Performance
The VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors adopt a 3LCD
projection system incorporating three LCD panels. This system
enables each projector to present bright and natural images.
By combining an advanced generation of inorganic LCD
panels that utilize Sony’s BrightEra™ technology with a 3LCD
projection system, the VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors
offer high picture quality and brightness.
12-bit 3D Gamma Correction
The VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors incorporate 12-bit
3D gamma correction circuitry to perform highly accurate
gamma correction, achieving smoother gradations and a
richer gray scale.
Film mode
Smooth, high-quality images are reproduced using a high-
performance processor for I/P conversion.
Source signals suitable I/P conversion are processed
automatically, and extremely accurate images are
reproduced.
Other Features
Multiple Inputs & Outputs
VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors include a high
wattage speaker (16 W) and a variety of interfaces (2xRGB,
HDMI, S-Video, RS-232C, RJ-45, USB Type-A, USB Type-B, and
Microphone inputs) that accept a wide variety of inputs
signals, greatly expanding system connection possibilities.

Installation can be via a LAN cable, and there is no need to
install additional software on the PC.
Network Presentation
When VPL-SW526M/VPL-SW526CM projectors are installed on
a LAN, presentations can be projected from any PC on the
network – whether connected via a LAN cable or wirelessly.*1
*1 The optional IFU-WLM3 is required.
Up to four users can project PC images simultaneously;
up to eight users*2can connect to one projector.
*2 Up to seven users for wireless.
Lamp and Filter Synchronized Maintenance
The expected lamp maintenance time for each model can
reach up to 6,000 hours depending on the selected lamp
mode, and dust filters require the same maintenance interval.
Synchronizing the timing of lamp and filter maintenance
enables users to reduce the numbers of “ladder climbs” for
maintenance.
