Packing the most advanced projector technologies into a
uniquely designed round chassis, the VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L
Data Projectors deliver extremely high-quality images of 2K x 1K
and WXGA resolution, respectively.
These projectors also offer an incredibly high brightness of 6000
(VPL-FH300L) or 7000 (VPL-FW300L) lumens, thanks to the newly
developed BrightEra™ LCD panel and a dual-lamp system.
The VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L adopt a bayonet mount that
allows a lens to be easily attached and detached, and a variety
of lens options are available to meet a range of installation
needs.
System integrators will appreciate the projectors' design, which
includes features for easy installation, such as a centered lens,
simple cabling, and auto-flip image, as well as power zoom,
focus, and shift, while maintenance personnel can easily
replace lamps and filters at the same time, thanks to their easy
access.
Furthermore, the VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L consume less than
820 W of power, which is the lowest level for projectors that
provide the same level of brightness with a dual-lamp system.
With all of these features and functionality, which are only
available from Sony, the VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L projectors
are the best choice for a range of applications, from business
conferences and seminars to education, simulations, and rental
and staging, in locations such as boardrooms, large conference
rooms, university classrooms, and art museums.

■Features ■
High-quality Images
✜Extremely High Resolution (2K x 1K or WXGA)
in Widescreen
With a 2K x 1K LCD panel incorporated, the VPL-FH300L
projects extremely clear and detailed high-quality
images with a 2K X 1K (2048 x 1080)* resolution, even on
a large widescreen. While the VPL-FW300L offers WXGA
(1366 x 800) resolution for high-quality widescreen
images.
*2K X 1K (2048 x 1080) signals supplied to the VPL-FH300L are converted
to 2046 x 1080 signals by removing one vertical line from each side, and
then processed and displayed as a 2K x 1K image.
✜Outstanding Brightness (6000 or 7000 Lumens)
From BrightEra LCD Panel and Dual-lamp
System
The VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L Data Projectors
achieve an outstanding brightness of 6000 and 7000
lumens, respectively. This allows for dynamic,
large-screen presentations even in high ambient lighting
environments. By combining a new generation of
inorganic LCD panels that utilize Sony's BrightEra
technology with a powerful dual-lamp system, these
projectors offer both brilliant pictures and stable
operations.
BrightEra Technology
BrightEra is a brand name for the category of next-generation
LCD panels that have pixels with large aperture ratios and that
adopt inorganic alignment films. Sony is the first manufacturer
to succeed in developing this technology for a High-
Temperature Polysilicon (HTPS) TFT LCD panel.

Dual-lamp System
The VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L adopt a unique lamp system
that uses two lamps for reliable, flexible, and efficient use of
light sources. In dual-lamp mode, the VPL-FH300L and
VPL-FW300L offer a maximum brightness of 6000 and 7000
lumens, respectively. In single-lamp mode, users can select
either of the two lamps manually, or the projector can
automatically select a lamp based on each lamp's operating
time.
In addition, the dual-lamp system enables virtually
fail-safe operations. In dual-lamp mode, if one bulb burns out,
the other can keep projecting images. In single-lamp plus
auto-lamp-select mode, if one bulb burns out, the other
automatically lights up to keep projecting images.
✜3LCD Projection System
Because the VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L adopt a
3LCD projection system, projected images are bright
and natural. 3LCD is a projection system using three
LCD panels. This system provides high light transmission
and excellent color reproduction. It also provides
smooth gradients in dark areas, and even helps
prevent color breakup.
✜Dynamic Detail Enhancer (DDE) for
High-quality Video Images
This unique video-enhancing technology from Sony
that is incorporated in the VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L
generates high-quality images of outstanding clarity.
For interlaced video sources, I/P (Interlace/Progressive)
conversion is applied to the signals to project clear
and sharp progressive images. When displaying film-
originated sources, signals converted by 2-3/2-2 pull
down are detected, and each frame of the original
film is accurately reproduced.
✜12-bit 3D Gamma Correction and
3D Digital Comb Filter
The VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L incorporate 12-bit 3D
Gamma Correction circuitry to perform highly
accurate gamma correction, achieving uniform image
color and brightness that extends light to the corners of
the screen. What's more, the 3D Digital Comb Filter
separates Y signals from C signals with great accuracy,
which emphasizes fine images and shape boundaries.

feature is indispensable both during installation and
operation.
✜Multi-function Remote Commander Unit
The supplied Remote Commander
unit for the VPL-FH300L and
VPL-FW300L is useful for both
setting up the projector during
installation and changing settings
for a presentation. This unit has
buttons for direct input selection,
so users do not have to toggle
through the entire range of inputs
to select the desired one. With
the projector ID function, each
projector in a multiple-projector
installation can be controlled
independently from a single
Remote Commander unit.

■Optional Accessories ■
Easy Maintenance
✜Low Power Consumption
(Enviromentally-friendly Design)
The VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L consume less than
820 W of power, which is the lowest level for projectors
that provide the same level of brightness with a
dual-lamp system. In addition, these projectors offer
a choice of two standby modes – standard and
low – that minimize power consumption further. The
standard mode and low mode of 30 W and 0.5 W of
power, respectively.
This low-power-consumption allows operators to save
significant electricity expenses in their operations.
✜Easy Lamp and Filter Replacement
When it's time to replace the lamp and filters in the
VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L, a timely message
appears clearly on the screen. The lamp is accessible
from the back of the projector and the filter is
accessible from the side, so lamp and filter
replacement can be performed without having to
uninstall the projector.
Replacement filters are included in the optional
LMP-F271 Projector Lamp, so both the lamp and filters
can be replaced at the same time, saving
maintenance time and cost.
✜Lamp Memory Function
When exchanging the lamp of a conventional
projector, operators typically have to reset the built-in
timer that records the lamp usage hours. However,
this is unnecessary with the VPL-FH300L and
VPL-FW300L, because their lamps incorporate a
memory that can record the lamp usage hours.
✜Remote Operation and Maintenance
Notifications via Network
Because the VPL-FH300L and VPL-FW300L can be
connected to a LAN, a number of functions can be
performed remotely using a web browser*.
For example, the projector's current status can be
verified and simple controls, such as powering the unit
on or off, can be performed. Also, the system can be
set up to send automatic e-mail reports to designated
recipients for scheduled maintenance, including
projected lamp life and error reports.
