VPL-CX236 XGA resolution installation projector
Features
1.66 - 2.41:1 Throw Ratio
The VPL-CX236 offers a 1.66 - 2.41:1
throw ratio that can accommodate
most large classrooms or large
meeting rooms current replacement
installation requirements.
ECO Mode Key
Users can easily select power-saving
ECO Modes. The most energy-
efficient mode is accessible though
a single button-push, with further
adjustments available through an
easily understood menu system.
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.
Vertical Keystone Adjustment
The projector can correct keystone
distortion*** by V: +/- 30% H:
+/- 20% for perfect installation
adjustment.
Image Warping
The image warping feature allows
an 8 point (4 corners and 4 sides)
image adjustment for convex
or concave projected surfaces.
Making adjustments is easy with
the remote control and the
on-screen operating menu.
Multiple Picture Modes
The VPL-CX236 has three picture
modes (Dynamic*, Standard and
Presentation) that can be selected to
suit the nature of the source material.
3LCD BrightEra Technology
The Sony 0.63 inch BrightEra
inorganic TFT 3LCD panels deliver
improved panel light resistance,
higher resolution, high brightness
and increased panel reliability.
Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment)
When a computer is used as a
picture source, APA automatically
optimises 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 where users need
to look at other material on their
PC’s screen without the viewing
audience being aware. Freeze the
current image and users can use
their PC independently of the
display from the projector.
Off and Go
At the end of a presentation, users
can turn off the power supply to the
projector immediately, instead of
going through a ‘power down’
cycle.
Direct Power On/Off
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 supplied.
Built-in Security Measures
The VPL-CX236 has a package
of security measures, including
password protection and physical
anti-theft anchor points.
