Bright, Stylish, and Easy to Use – The Affordable
VPL-E Series of Data Projectors is an Excellent Choice
for Both Education and Business
Sony’s VPL-E Series data projectors are extremely affordable and ideal for a number of applications,
especially in education and business. These projectors are not only stylish, but they also provide a
high brightness of 2600 lumens (VPL-EX70) and 2000 lumens (VPL-EW5/EX7/ES7). Capable of
projecting high-quality images, the VPL-EX70 and VPL-EX7 offer native XGA resolution, while the
VPL-ES7 offers SVGA resolution. If widescreen projection is desired, the VPL-EW5 offers WXGA
resolution. These projectors come equipped with a short focal-length lens enabling large-screen
projection from a very short distance.
Because these projectors were designed primarily for education and business, they are very easy to
use and provide security features such as a password authentication system and a security bar. In
addition, they offer a variety of interfaces such as a monitor output, audio output, RS-232C for control
(VPL-EW5/EX7/EX70 only), and High-Definition Multimedia Interface™ (HDMI™) for digital video
projection (VPL-EW5 only). All of these features combine to make the VPL-E Series ideal for both
classrooms and conference rooms.

Color light output is a metric that measures a projector’s
ability to deliver color. Developed by color scientists using
the same approach as light output (brightness)
measurement, color light output provides a simple,
accurate, and easy-to-understand way to evaluate a
projector’s color performance.
++
The rainbow effect may appear as blurring or the
separation of colors. It can only be seen in images
projected by 1-chip sequential color projection systems.
