Sony Electronics launched a plethora of display and UCC solutions at InfoComm 2024. Sony’s lineup of 4K HDR BRAVIA professional displays include the flagship 98-inch BZ53L model, the BZ40L series and the introductory EZ20L series.

The BZ53L and BZ40L series feature the company’s imaging capabilities and Deep Black Non-Glare technology, which offers “low reflection while maintaining deep blacks, high contrast and precise image quality.” These unique additions to Sony’s portfolio address common concerns related to digital signage deployed in challenging, high ambient light or direct lighting environments.

The EZ20L offers essential professional features including simplified pro settings for easy setup and maintenance. They accommodate simple, affordable signage in 16/7 applications with RS-232 and standard IP control, and come with built-in BRAVIA Signage Free 2.0 software, which enables standalone digital signage, without a set-top box.

Sony’s Pro BRAVIAs are complemented by the company’s Device Management Platform (DMP), which supports large networks of Sony BRAVIA Professional Displays through device and network alerts and remote insights. DMP allows users to roll out network-wide updates or adjust device settings with organization profiles, bulk actions, and application version control — with immediacy, from virtually anywhere. DMP also can be used with Sony’s Zero Touch Provisioning which optimizes setup by allowing users to create profiles for the displays and apply them based on use case.

Sony also launched new conferencing and collaboration (UCC) projectors including the mid-range VPL-FHZ85 and VPL-FHZ80 interchangeable lens projectors and the ultra-compact VPL-PHZ61 and VPL-PHZ51 fixed lens projectors.

Auditorium solutions from Sony include the SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 4K pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, featuring a powerful up to 20x optical zoom with a 1/2.5″ Exmor R CMOS sensor and the capability for up to 40x Clear Image Zoom. The powerful, HETMA Approved SRG-A series cameras use advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver natural-looking camera movements, without a dedicated operator, and offer Full Body, Waist, and Close-Up Auto Framing modes. A new V2.0 firmware update for the series is expected in September 2024. It adds more flexible and effective video presentation such as multi-person framing, face registration, and improved operability including an enhanced user interface and an assignable function button on the remote control.

Sony also officially showed its new Spatial Reality Displays,ELF-SR2, which provide realistic, three-dimensional content without special glasses or VR headsets. Boasting new configurations and features, attendees can also experience multiple stacked Spatial Reality Displays. In this setup, the displays will run one continuous 3D video as a tiled array, allowing for an additional screen to simultaneously showcase related 2D content – up to four screens. Using the Unity or Unreal Engine software development kit (SDK), creators can develop exacting content incorporating 3D content.

Sony’s latest in Crystal LED displays are the 4K Crystal LED BH-series, the contrast-filled CH-series featuring touchscreen technology from TSI Touch, and an HD version of the new VERONA series, built for dynamic, realistic viewing experiences as any scale.
