Sony has  updated eleven of its popular education and corporate projectors, building on  its offering to the European market. The D-Series, E-Series and S-Series have  been refreshed with the customer in mind allowing for greater integration with  other technology solutions.

Sony’s latest Interactive Ultra  Short Throw S Series projectors incorporate new integration capabilities. Auto  calibration, teaching features, video capture and video conferencing abilities  provide the presenter with greater options to make their presentation more  interactive. In addition, all new released projectors across the ranges now  have wireless communication capabilities with tablets and smartphones, via the Pixelworks’  VueMagic Mobile Presenter application. VueMagic Mobile Presenter enables users  to make presentations or share content using most mobile and tablet devices  with iOS version 5.1.1 or Android (from October). This means that presentations  can be run off tablet and smartphone devices of all sizes by teachers, students  and other audiences.  

Robert Meakin, Business and Education Product Manager, Sony Professional  Solutions Europe said:

“Building on the  momentum of last year’s D, E and S-Series launches, this year’s projectors work  and collaborate better with other existing technologies. Whether you’re in the  classroom or the boardroom, these new eco-friendly projectors are a great way  to make presentations more dynamic and interactive. They are the ideal accompaniment  for any presentation.”

Other features of the new D-Series, E-Series and S-Series projectors are similar to those announced in the  line-ups last year. These include an auto lamp dimming function, which  enables the projectors to intelligently detect if it is left on with a static  signal being fed. The projectors also incorporate convenient eco-conscious  features that cut energy consumption and extend lifetime, making them more  productive and cost efficient. This includes an Auto Brightness Adjustment  Function, where the brightness of the lamp’s output is automatically adjusted  depending on the brightness of the projected image.

The popular Picture  Mute function also reduces power consumption to 30 per cent, saving lamp hours  and costs. There’s also no need to completely power-off or turn back on which increases  power consumption and can be time-consuming.
