Native 4K Clarity with More than Four Times the Resolution of Full HD
Advanced SXRD panel technology featured in Sony's digital cinema projectors delivers native 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution images, with no artificial pixel enhancement. Every detail is wonderfully clear and natural, without jagged edges or visible pixels.
High Brightness
Activating brightness increase mode (requiring optional LSM-BRIN1 license) boosts light output from 2,000 lumens up to 5,000 lumens - ideal for demanding visualization and simulation applications. In constant brightness mode (requires optional LSM-BRIN1 license), uniform brightness is maintained over the life of the laser light source - ideal for applications where several projectors are used together.
Super High Contrast Ratio
The advance optical engine reduces internal light leakage, for spectacularly high contrast images with huge amounts of finely-rendered picture detail in dark shots.
Supports HDR
Take full advantage of the latest content produced with High Dynamic Range (requires optional LSM-HDR1 license) for sharp contrast and more accurate detail, from searing highlights to richly detailed dark scenes.
Reality Creation Upscaling
Lower resolution input signals are accurately upscaled to 4K pixel resolution by Sony's advanced Reality Creation engine: you won't see any individual pixels - just beautifully natural 4K images.
Picture Presets for any Content
Eight calibrated presets optimize projected image quality for a wide range of content types including visualization and simulation applications.
Long-lasting Laser Light Source
Thanks to the highly efficient and reliable laser light source, users can benefit from startlingly clear 4K pictures plus up to 20,000 hours uninterrupted operation (40,000 hours in constant brightness mode) with no lamp replacement - far longer than conventional lamp based projectors.
Long lasting, Low Maintenance Optics
Lens, light source and all optical components are sealed against dust for dependable long-term operation.
Low Transport Delay
Enjoy responsive, lag-free performance with an extremely low transport delay; ideal for fast-moving content.
Optional High Frame Rate Operation
Adding the optional LSM-120P1 license allows the SXRD panel to be driven directly by a 120Hz input signal, minimizing image blur in fast-moving action scenes.
High Performance Edge Blending
Seamlessly edge-blend images from multiple projectors for super-sized, high contrast images with no banding or overlap. Constant brightness mode helps ensure accurately-matched images over long periods of operation.
Color Correction and Color Space Adjustment
Hue, Saturation, Brightness and color space can be adjusted to suit different installation conditions.
Quick Start
Don't lose time - laser light source starts instantly, allowing you to start projecting in moments without lengthy lamp warm-up time.
Motionflow for Smoother 4K Images
Motionflow ensures smoother, less blurry on-screen images.
Smear Reduction
A choice of black insertion ratio modes allows effective reduction of image blur and smear.
Infra Red Image Projection
Adding the optional LSM-NVG1 license allows the VPL-GTZ280 to be reconfigured for Night Vision Goggle training and simulation applications.
120Hz Signal Processing for 4K Active 3D
The high-speed 120Hz drive achieves smooth, easy-on-the-eye Frame Doubled or Dual Input 3D (requires optional license LSM-120P1) at 60p per eye with full 4K resolution, for impressively smooth, immersive stereoscopic simulations.
Industry Standard RF 3D Compatible
The projector's built-in RF transmitter synchronizes with any RF 3D glasses for wider coverage and greater stability, with no need for an external transmitter.
Greater Installation Flexibility
Install the projector horizontally, vertically, upside down or at any angle with no restrictions. The rugged chassis allows projectors to be stacked directly on top of one another. Projectors can also be stacked side by side with no cabling restrictions.
Auto Calibration
Auto calibration adjusts RGB color levels as well as white point over the lifespan of the laser light source for consistently beautiful images over time.
Whisper Quiet Operation
Extra-low noise fan with one-way air flow and liquid cooling system ensures extra-quiet operation for minimized audience disruption. High altitude mode adjusts fan rate for efficient operation at altitudes above 1500m.
