Overview
Cinema is coming home
Step up to a new generation of immersive cinematic experiences with Sony's latest native 4K laser projectors. The BRAVIA Projector 8 elevates home entertainment to the next level, drawing on cutting-edge picture processing technologies that harness cognitive intelligence for the most realistic, emotion-packed images yet.
Features
Wide dynamic range with richer, more subtle graduations
The latest XR processor for projector draws on Sony's acclaimed BRAVIA TV technologies, harnessing advanced data processing for real-time optimisation of individual on-screen objects. Experience stunning 4K HDR images with contrast and realism unattainable with previous-generation home cinema projectors.
XR Dynamic Tone Mapping
Peak brightness is analysed frame by frame. Tone mapping ensures that direct sunlight and other bright highlights are faithfully reproduced, while retaining fine detail in dark shadow areas.
XR Deep Black
Laser dimming is accurately controlled in dark scenes like night skies, delivering deeper, richer blacks while maintaining tone and colour accuracy.
A billion bright, beautiful colours
High brightness is combined with XR Triluminos Pro technology, achieving over 95% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space. Faithful reproduction of over a billion colours reveals the subtlest variations in saturation and hue.
Achieve ultimate clarity
XR Clear Image processing analyzes individual objects frame-by-frame, upscales content to near-4K resolution, and minimizes picture noise for results that are almost unreal.
Individually clear
Image cross-analysis ensures optimal super-resolution processing is applied to individual objects within each scene, providing incredibly natural textures.
Intelligent upscaling
Lower-resolution images are upscaled close to 4K, drawing on a vast pattern-matching database that intelligently reconstructs lost texture and detail.
More beauty, less noise
Powerful XR Clear Image processing minimizes picture noise through zone division and dynamic frame analysis.
Brilliant pictures powered by innovative technology
Combining the brightness of a powerful laser light source with the game-changing XR processor delivers a uniquely immersive native 4K HDR home cinema experience.
Image cross-analysis
Image parameters including colour, definition, and contrast are analysed and processed in parallel, providing more natural, artefact-free images.
Depth mapping
Depth and texture are enhanced by cognitive technology, accentuating foreground subjects for images that look more real and natural.
Focal point recognition
The natural focal point of the picture is enhanced, drawing the viewer's eye to the most important part of the scene.
Crystal clarity with Advanced Crisp-Focused (ACF) Lens
The Advanced Crisp-Focused Lens features a 70mm aspherical front lens element that widens the focus area, ensuring crystal clear images from corner to corner. The floating focus system uses two moving lens groups and extra-low dispersion glass for distortion-free images with accurate colour reproduction.
Smooth, responsive gameplay
Experience enhanced big-screen gaming excitement with the latest fast-paced titles. Performance is super-smooth and responsive, providing a crucial competitive edge when split-second reactions count.
High frame rate, high resolution
Don't miss a moment with sports and adrenalin-packed first-person video games. Support for 4K 120fps ensures smoothly rendered gameplay, making on-screen action feel even more real.
Reduced input lag
Connect a compatible games console via HDMI 2.1, and the projector switches to Auto Low Latency Mode for responsive, fast-paced gaming excitement with reduced input latency.
Light and compact
Lighter and more compact than most native 4K home cinema projectors, the VPL-XW6100ES simplifies ceiling-mounted installation.
Ready for action
Out-of-the-box picture settings, including colour and gamma, are fine-tuned for home cinema watching, saving time on fiddly adjustments during installation.
Great in any space
Lens shift and keystone correction ensure perfectly-proportioned pictures, even in smaller rooms with high ceilings and limited depth.
Seamless integration with home automation systems
The BRAVIA Projector 8 is central to your connected home entertainment world. It is certified for compatibility with leading automation protocols such as Control4, Crestron, Savant, and AMX, as well as remote maintenance services including OvrC and Domotz.
Entertainment that's more environmentally friendly
Enjoying great home entertainment doesn't have to mean compromising on sustainability. The BRAVIA Projector 8 features advanced technologies that save energy and lessen overall impact on the environment.
Enhanced power efficiency
XR Deep Black technology precisely controls laser output frame by frame, reducing power consumption in dark scenes to improve energy efficiency.
Mercury free
The energy-efficient laser light source doesn't contain any mercury, making Sony projectors kinder on the environment at every stage of their lifecycle, from production to recycling.
