Compact, Elegant and Efficient to Match Your Business Style
VPL-CX4 / CS4 LCD Data Micro-Portable Projectors
Compact dimensions and outstanding performance make these projectors the preferred choice for executives and managers who demand perfection in their presentations.
The VPL-CX4 and VPL-CS4 are the latest additions to Sonys line up of high-quality micro-portable projectors. Compact and light enough to be easily carried, yet delivering images that are bright (1000 ANSI lumens*) and clear, they are ideal for handling presentations on the move.The VPL-CX4 provides XGA resolution and a full range of functions, as does VPL-CS4, which provides SVGA resolution.

Innovative style

The VPL-CX4/CS4 continue to set Sonys standards in visual styling with their simple and elegant external design. At the touch of a button, the front panel flips onto the top of the unit so that the operational controls now face upwards for convenient operation. Twin speakers, mounted on either side of the controls, are angled for optimum stereo imaging. A second panel on the side of the unit opens to reveal the input connectors.

Handy and bright

Despite their compact size, the VPL-CX4/CS4 achieve an excellent brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens by adopting highly efficient 0.7-inch LCD panels and a fly-eye lens. The VPL-CX4 provides true XGA (1024 x 768) resolution while the VPL-CS4 provides true SVGA (800 x 600) resolution. Weighing only around 2.4 kg (5 lbs., 5 oz.), both models are easy to carry in the supplied carrying bag, so their clear, brilliant images can be projected anywhere, anytime.

Quiet operation

Fan noise is minimized with a unique air discharge system, which positions the exhaust on the front of the unit. The projectors run very quietly as the discharged air is kept away from the audience during presentations. A Sony only feature!

Smart presentations

USB Compatibility and Projector Station Software (VPL-CX4 only)
The VPL-CX4 is USB-ready. Connecting a PC running Sony Projector Station software*1 to the USB port enables functions such as input selection and picture settings to be controlled from the PC. Also, when presentation materials are assigned in the software beforehand, they can be opened instantly with the two Function keys on the supplied remote control unit.
*1 Projector Station software requirements: Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me or Windows 2000 operating system.

Simple setup

Various Inputs
Both the VPL-CX4 and VPL-CS4 have a built-in scan converter which accepts composite video, component video and RGB video input signals. The VPL-CX4 accepts PC signals up to SXGA, while the VPLCS4 accepts signals up to XGA resolution.
Digital Keystone Correction
Keystone distortion of up to 15 degrees can be digitally corrected. Images can be projected with the correct geometry even where installation space is limited.
APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) Useful Remote Control Unit
The VPL-CX4 is supplied with a RM-PJM11 remote control unit, which has an integrated mouse function for point-and-click control of your USB-connected computer. An alternative remote control unit, the card-size RM-PJ2, is supplied with the VPL-CS4. Both these control units are equipped with keys to control various functions, providing smooth, impressive presentations.

With APA, single-button press and play operation correctly sizes and adjusts the display for optimum picture performance.

On Screen Display

The On-Screen Display for projector control is available in nine languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Its screen position and color can be altered, depending on user preference.

4-times Digital Zoom

Any part of the projected image can be zoomed in during a presentation to assist in conveying a clear message.

Freeze-Frame Function

The Freeze-Frame function displays a freezeframe image, so you can prepare or switch to the next image, while your audience sees only what you want them to see.
