Description

The Sony VPL-FHZ131L is Sony's brightest large-venue 3LCD laser installation projector, delivering 13,000 lumens (13,600 lm centre) from a WUXGA (1920x1200) BrightEra panel set for conference halls, lecture theatres, galleries, museums and other large spaces. A 20,000-hour laser light source removes the need for lamp changes, and Sony's Intelligent Setting function pre-configures brightness, cooling and colour presets for fast installation.

IMPORTANT: this unit is sold body-only. The FHZ131L is supplied without a projection lens - focus, zoom and lens shift are all powered, but the lens itself must be selected and purchased separately from Sony's VPLL-Z4xxx range (from the short-throw VPLL-Z4107 at 0.75:1 up to the long-throw VPLL-Z4045 at 5.56:1-7.5:1) to match the venue's throw distance. This is standard practice for Sony's large-venue FHZ-L series and lets integrators specify exactly the optics a given room needs.

Networked control and monitoring via Crestron Connected and Extron XTP Systems is supported, along with edge blending for seamless multi-projector displays and lens position memory (with the optional VPLL-Z4111 lens) for quick recall of screen size, position and aspect ratio.

Planning from a real wall? Use the projector screen size calculator to upload a photo, preview the image to scale and find projectors that fit within your maximum available space. Replacing an existing projector? The projector replacement calculator checks whether this lens covers the ratio your current mount needs.

Distances are lens-to-screen, calculated from the manufacturer's stated throw ratio; allow for lens shift and mounting hardware. Always confirm against the manufacturer's installation guide before fixing mounts.
