FEATURES
Bright, Slim, and Stylish Sony VPL-CX21/CS21 Data Projectors for Mobile Applications
Sony introduces two stylish new projectors, the VPL-CX21 and VPL-CS21, both of which feature Sony LCD panels with 3LCD technology and a powerful lamp for accurate image reproduction at a brightness of 2100 ANSI lumens. Also, these projectors are extremely slim and lightweight. Their stylish body has been designed with rounded edges that fit easily into your hand, making them ideal for applications that require portability. Furthermore, they are extremely easy to use, thanks to the Advanced Intelligent Auto Set-up function, which includes Auto Focus and many other convenient functions and features. Stylish, feature-rich, and easy to use, the VPL-CX21 and VPL-CS21 are ideal for mobile businesspeople who want to stay focused on their presentations, not their equipment.
High Brightness of 2100 ANSI Lumens
Adopting three Sony 0.63-inch LCD panels and a newly designed 165 W lamp, both the VPL-CX21 and VPL-CS21 achieve a brightness of 2100 ANSI lumens, providing outstanding image quality even in extremely high ambient-light conditions. With the VPL-CX21 providing XGA (1024 x 768) and the VPL-CS21 providing SVGA (800 x 600) resolution, these projectors offer fine reproduction of even the smallest details.

3LCD Projection System

Because the VPL-CX21 and VPL-CS21 utilize a 3LCD projection system, projected images are bright and natural. 3LCD is a projection system using three LCD panels (also known as high-temperature polysilicon or HTPS) that provides high light transmission and excellent color reproduction. It also provides smooth gradients in dark areas, and even helps prevent color breakup.
Advanced Intelligent Auto Setup
By simply turning on the power, the projector automatically initiates a host of sophisticated setup functions that make it easy to use even for first-time users. Power-operated tilt adjuster is set. Auto keystone correction is performed. Auto Input Search and Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) occurs. Built-in Auto Focus module focuses the projector.

Off & Go*1

The VPL-CX21 and VPL-CS21 incorporate a built-in circuit that continues to run the projectors cooling fan after it is unplugged. This enables you to unplug the projector and move on to your next location without wasting time.
Turn off the projector in accordance with the operating instructions.

Short Focal-Length Lens, Power Focus, Power Zoom
The short focal-length lens enables a large screen size from a short throwing distance. An 80-inch*2 image can be projected from an approximate distance of just 2.3 meters (7.5 feet). This feature is invaluable when room space is limited but dynamic presentations are required.
