6000 hours Lamp Life

New driving scheme reduces gap expansion that reduces brightness gradation and a new cooling system allows uniformity in the temperature of the glass bulb which prevents the glass from clouding.

Eco Mode Key

Users can easily select power-saving Eco Modes. The most energy-efficient mode is accessible though a single button-push, and further adjustments are available through an easily understood menu system.

HD Ready

HMDI input means the VPL-SW125 is HD ready.

Easy to operate control panel layout

The VPL-SW125's control panel is on top of the device for easy operation, with large, easy-to-locate controls.

 Automatic Keystone Adjustment

The projector can detect keystone distortion and can correct it automatically. (Note that since this is an electronic correction, it will reduce the picture quality slightly).

Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment)

When a computer is used as a picture source, APA automatically optimizes Phase, Pitch and Shift values. These can also be adjusted manually.

Auto Input Search

Auto Input Search detects which input has an incoming signal, and automatically switches to it. This makes it easier for users to set up the projector prior to making a presentation

Picture Muting

If the picture needs to be turned off, all it takes is a single button-press on the remote control. This will mute audio at the same time. There is also a separate 'mute audio button for audio-only muting.

Audio switcher facility

To avoid the need for a separate audio switcher, the projector can be used to select between two audio sources, routing them via a variable audio output to the room amplification system.

Picture Freeze Function

Picture Freeze is useful during presentations if you need to look at other material on your PC's screen without the viewing audience being aware. Freeze the current image, and you can use your PC independently of the display from the projector.

Digital Zoom

With Digital Zoom, if you are displaying a computer-sourced image, you can enlarge a selected area of the screen image up to four times.

Off and Go

At the end of a presentation, you can turn off the power supply to the projector immediately, instead of going through a 'power down' cycle. With this function, there is no need to go through 'Standby' mode when powering up the projector. The projector can be set to activate as soon as power is applied. Filter replaced at the same time as lamp The filter only needs to be changed when a new lamp is fitted, potentially halving disruption due to maintenance. The VPL-SW125 has six picture modes (Dynamic, Standard, Game, Living, Cinema and Presentation) that can be selected to suite the nature of the source material. The VPL-SW125 has a package of security measures, including password protection, and physical anti-theft anchor points.
