The Sony VPL-FX35 XGA Installation Projector is a workhorse which Sony likes to refer to as “reliable” and “solid” in various publications. With 5,000 lumens of brightness and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, it’s safe to add powerful to its list of attributes. This is the projector you want for large venues and permanent installations to project 1,024 x 768 images on screens up 600″ (15.2 m) with or without ambient light.

Thanks to its 0.79″ 3LCD projection panels, the VPL-FX35 creates vivid, lifelike images in fine detail. 3LCD technology delivers sharper and brighter images with superior grayscale detail. But Sony has improved upon it with its BrightEra technology, which offers even higher brightness with improved reliability, increased contrast and reduced flicker.

Of course the VPL-FX35 has the features you’ve come to expect from a high-quality installation projector. It can display 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition images and its international capabilities include automatic selection and projection NTSC, PAL, and SECAM signals. It also has a world-ready 100 – 240 volt AC 50 / 60 Hz power supply which operates virtually anywhere there’s electricity.

VPL-FX35′ s wide connectivity includes DVI-D, S-Video, and composite as well as a variable audio line-out to balance external speaker levels, as well as a monitor output for an auxiliary display. The VPL-FX35 is equipped to use your local network (LAN) thanks to its RJ-45 (Ethernet) jack. You can make presentations from any PC on your network as well as managing, monitoring and controlling it remotely. You can also send important announcements like scheduling information to several VPL-FX35s in multiple locations. They, in turn can email you individual status data detailing conditions like excessively high temperature, imminent lamp burn-out and other maintenance issues.

For such an amazingly bright projector your VPL-FX35 gets by on a minimum of energy. In Standard operating mode it consumes a maximum of only 380 watts to pump out those 5,000 lumens of projector power. In Standard Standby that drops way down to 11 watts and in Low Standby mode it draws less than 0.15W.

Power, reliability and functionality make the VPL-FX35 the ideal choice for permanent installations.
