Rants and rAVes — Episode 521: InfoComm Special Videocast: Sony to Debut Two New Laser-Phosphor Projectors at InfoComm

Gary Kayye's Rants and rAVesSony’s launch at InfoComm (booth C7708) includes the VPL- GTZ270, designed for entertainment use including planetariums, theme parks, museums and retail; and the VPL- GTZ280 for simulation, visualization and training. Both are laser-phosphor based projectors.

Both 5,000 lumen models have native SXRDTM 4K (4096×2160) resolution and both can also operate in 4K 3D mode. Like all Sony laser projectors, the VPL-GTZ270 and the VPL-GTZ280 are spec’d to deliver up to 20,000 hours of operation with virtually zero maintenance (up to 40,000 hours in low brightness mode) without the need for a lamp exchange.

I was joined by Sony’s Group Product Manager, Sander Phipps, for our annual InfoComm debrief and he explained the difference in the two projectors to me. I hope you enjoy watching!
