Sony To Launch 4k Projector This Summer
Sony will expand its lineup of 4k projectors this summer with the launch of its new SRX-R210 cinema projector, which will be added to the company's SRXD family of high-end projection systems for theaters.
The SRX-R210 joins the R105, R110, and R220 in Sony's SRXD lineup. The R210 uses the same lenses and offers the same auto zoom and autofocus features as the lower-end R105 and R110 models but kicks up the brightness to 10,000 ANSI lumens trough a single Xenon lamp and adds in a number of new features, including keystone masking for straight and curved screens. It also adopts the same integrated, secure playback system enclosure found on the high-end (18,000 ANSI lumens) R220.
Other features include:
- Color management software;
- Automated zoom lens position;
- Automatic light output adjustment;
- Image masking for up to a 10-degree down angle;
- Single-button powerup for projector and server;
- Compatibility with Sony's LMT-100 4k Media Block and Screen Management System.
The R210 supports 2k and 4k content using a 4,096 x 2,160 pixel matrix (8.8 megapixels). It's expected to ship this summer. Pricing has not yet been firmed up.
