Entry Level Business Projector
sony.com/projectors

Both the Sony VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 are extremely affordable data projectors that are ideal for a number of
applications, especially in education and businesses. These projectors are not only stylish but also provide a brightness
of 2100 lumens (VPL-EX4) and 2200 lumens (VPL-ES4). Capable of projecting high-quality images, the VPL-EX4 offers
native XGA resolution while the VPL-ES4 offers SVGA resolution. Both the VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 come equipped with a
short focal-length lens enabling large screen projection from a very short distance. And the supplied card-type
Remote Commander®unit enables quick and effective control of the projector.
Because these projectors were designed primarily for education and business, they are very quiet, include security
features such as a password authentication system and a security bar, and include a variety of interfaces such as a
monitor output, audio output, and RS-232C for control. All of these features combine to make the VPL-EX4 and
VPL-ES4 ideal for both classrooms and conference rooms.

High Picture Quality and Bright Images
The VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 incorporate three high aperture
0.63-inch LCD Panels, offering native XGA (1024 x 768)
and SVGA (800 x 600) resolution, respectively. A
brightness level of 2100 (VPL-EX4) and 2200 (VPL-ES4)
lumens is achieved resulting from the combination of a
highly efficient optical system and a 165W lamp.
3LCD Projection System
Because the VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 use a 3LCD projection
system, projected images are bright and natural. 3LCD is a
projection system using three LCD panels (also known as
high-temperature polysilicon or HTPS). This system provides
high light transmission and excellent color reproduction. It
also provides smooth gradients in dark areas, and even
helps prevent color breakup.
Short Projection Distance
The VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 come equipped with a short
focal-length lens, which makes it possible to project
images from a shortdistance. For example, an 80-inch
image*1 can be projected from a distance of
approximately 7-1/2 feet (2.3 meters).
Quiet Operation (Low Fan Noise)
Both the VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 have a very low fan noise
allowing audiences to concentrate on the speaker
during presentations.
Quick Start
Approximately four seconds*2 after power is applied to
the VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4, the projector's “start up image”
is displayed and your presentation appears shortly
thereafter.
High-Security (Control Panel KeyLock, Password
Authentication System, Security Bar, and
Kensington Lock)
Both the VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 haveacontrol panel key
lock and a password authentication system to help
prevent unauthorized use of the projector. Also, a built-in
security bar or Kensington®lock can be used to help
prevent theft.
FEATURES
Useful Remote Commander Unit
The supplied card-type Remote Commander unit can
be used to adjust the VPL-EX4 and VPL-ES4 projector
settings such as digital zoom and audio volume or to
activate APA, picture muting, and picture freeze
functions. Also, because IR receivers are located on
both the front and rear of the projector, the Remote
Commander unit is effective from almost anywhere in
the room.
Input Flexibility

input signals from standard definition (SD) to high
definition (HD), including composite, S-Video (Y/C), and
analog RGB/component via the HD D-sub 15 pin
interfaces.*3In addition, the unit can accept computer
signals from VGA up to SXGA+ (1400 x 1050).
