Maintenance and Notifications Via Network
Because the VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors can be connected to a LAN, a number of functions can be performed remotely using a web browser.*9 For example, the projector‘s current status can be verified and simple controls, such as powering the unit on or off, can be performed. Also, the system can be set up to send automatic e-mail reports to designated recipients for scheduled maintenance, including projected lamp life and error reports.
*9 Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher is required.
ID Function for Multi-Projector Installation
The VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors have a built-in ID function, so each projector can be controlled independently from a single Remote Commander unit. For multi-projector installations in a single room, this feature is indispensable both during installation and operation.
Digital Keystone Adjustment
Vertical Keystone distortion of up to ±30 degrees can be digitally corrected via the OSD and/or Remote Commander unit of the VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors. This enables detailed images to be projected with their correct geometry, even when installation space is limited.
Monitor Output for Presenters
Projected images can be monitored by connecting a PC display to the VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors’ monitor output and placing it in the presenter's field of view. This allows the presenter to continually face the audience during the presentation for a fluid and professional delivery.
Multi-Language OSD
(On-Screen Display)
The OSD used for control of the VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors is available in 16 languages: English, Dutch, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Arabic.
Quiet Operation
The VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors are incredibly quiet, allowing for smooth and undisturbed presentations. The low fan noise is attributed to a highly efficient cooling system based on Sony’s latest technology.
