Sony introduces new lensless projectors


Sony Professional Solutions Europe has in- troduced a new range of lensless F-series projectors, based on customer feedback, to better meet the needs of larger installations. The original F-series projectors include a standard lens, with the option to purchase additional lenses. But as the needs of large- scale installations are so bespoke, the majority of customers were selecting one of the other lenses in Sony’s extensive range. The new lensless range in- cludes three laser projectors, the VPL-FHZ57L, VPL-FHZ60L and VPL-FHZ65L, as well as two lamp-based models, the VPL-FH60L and VPL-FH65L,


to suit the requirements of different instal-


lations. All models can be combined with a range of Sony lenses that meet the needs of


virtually any size of room or throw require- ment. “We’re always looking for ways to better meet the needs of our customers,” said Robert Meakin, Senior Product Manager at Sony Professional Solutions Europe. “So, when their feedback was that they were swapping out the standard lens most of the time, we wanted to save them time, hassle and money by offering a lensless alternative. This range means we can ensure we’re providing our customers with a solution that’s bespoke to them.”
