2. Product Concept
The VPL-CS5 and VPL-CX5 are based on various innovations in technology and
design in order to differentiate from competition and to give some added value to the
user.
Since the brightness of any projector is the most important specification the design
was focused on that. These two new products are the brightest models in their class
with a maximum light output of 2000 lumen for the VPL-CX5 and 1800 lumen for
the VPL-CS5. In case of VPL-CX5 this is a 100% brightness increase compared to
the previous model VPL-CX4.
The second innovation is the intelligent Auto Set-up that will reduce the necessary
actions in order to use a projector. This will help to reduce set-up faults by pressing
the wrong button or having poor picture quality due to a wrong alignment. With the
Intelligent Auto Set-up System the presenter can concentrate on the presentation and
there is no need to be worried about the set-up of the equipment.
These major innovations come bundled in a new and unconventional cabinet design.
The magic of the design lies in the simplicity. With only three frequently used keys
on the top panel not only the design becomes smarter also the use of this projector
becomes simplified and spectacular.
The VPL-CS5 and VPL-CX5 design is optimized of the mobile presentation use.
However due to the image flip function it is also possible to use these models in
other installation ways.
In addition the VPL-CX5 is equipped with the Sony Memory stick Slot for PC-Less
presentation. These new models are produced in Barcelona, Spain.
3. Models being phased out
The VPL-CS5 will be high specification and rich feature entrance model. It will
replace the VPL-CS4 as a direct successor. Because of the high Brightness of 1800
ANSI lumen it also will replace the VPL-PS10 that will be discontinued. Thus the
VPL-CS5 will be the only remaining SVGA model in the Line-up.
The VPL-CX5 will be the entrance XGA Model succeeding VPL-CX4, VPD-MX10
and VPL-CX11. The models from VPL-P to VPL-F -Series will cover the
applications that require additional features and higher specification.
