Sony VPL-EX3 Specifications

Bright, Stylish, and a User Friendly Design –
The VPL-EX3 Data Projector is an Excellent
Choice for Education and Business
The Sony VPL-EX3 is an extremely affordable data projector
that is ideal for a wide range of applications from education to
business. This projector has a stylish body and provides a
brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens
(1024 x 768). Also, because the VPL-EX3 comes equipped
with a short focal-length lens, the unit can project a large
screen size from a very short distance, even in a room with
limited space. And the supplied card-type Remote
Commander™ unit allows users quick and effective control.
Because the VPL-EX3 was designed primarily for the education
market sector it has low fan noise, a password authentication
system, and includes 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-EX3 a user-friendly
projector, ideal for both classrooms and conference rooms.
*1
ANSI lumen is a standard measuring method of the American National
Standards Institute IT7.228. Since there is no uniform method of measuring
brightness, specifications will vary among manufacturers.
FEATURES
High Brightness and High Picture
Quality
The VPL-EX3 incorporates three high
aperture 0.63-inch LCD Panels, offering
native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution. With
a 165W lamp, the VPL-EX3 achieves a
brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens.
3LCD Projection System
Because the VPL-EX3 uses 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-EX3 comes equipped with a
short focal-length lens, which make it
possible to project images from a short
distance. For example, a 60-inch image
can be projected from a distance of
approximately 1.8 meters (6 feet).

Low Fan Noise
The VPL-EX3 is designed to minimize fan
noise to only 29 dB, when the lamp
mode is set to STANDARD. This allows
audiences to concentrate on the speaker
during presentations.
Password Authentication System
(Security Lock)
Once a user sets a password, the
projector cannot be used without it. This
function helps prevent unauthorized use
of the projector.
User Friendly Design
The control panel located on the top of
the unit is arranged for easy operation.
Also, the unit's front exhaust system
causes less disruption to individuals
seated on either side of the projector.
Useful Remote Commander Unit
The supplied card-type Remote
Commander unit can be used to adjust
key projector settings such as digital

zoom, picture freeze, and audio volume.
Also, because IR receivers are located on
both the front and rear of the projector,
the Remote Commander unit can be
used from almost anywhere in the room.
