Sony VPL-FX500L Specification Guide

Page of 2
The VPL-FX500L features native XGA 
resolution, high brightness at 7000  
lumens color light output, a centered  
lens, and the widest lens shift in its class.  
A twin-lamp system ensures worry free, 
economical operation; compatibility with 
current interchangeable lenses enables  
a wide range of options; and the  
ECO-friendly longer lamp life means  
less energy consumption, less cost  
and less time up on a ladder making 
replacements. This projector is ideal for 
installations supporting large-screen 
applications such as university lecture 
halls and corporate auditoriums. 
 
Extreme Lens Shift — With maximum +/- 
96% vertical and +/- 64% horizontal lens 
shift capability, the VPL-FX500L is the ideal 
fit for high-ceiling applications. Wide lens 
shift range minimizes picture degradation 
caused by using keystone function.
Wide Range of Lenses — The VPL-FX500L 
ships without a lens and offers backward 
compatibility with a number of existing 
Sony lenses (back for details). 
   
Twin Lamp System — For worry-free 
operation, a second lamp is built-in  
to provide automatic backup should  
the primary lamp fail.  Since the two 
lamps are alternately used, the total 
expected lamp replacement time can 
total up to approximately 8000 hours, 
which means less maintenance. 
Superb Image Quality — The VPL-FX500L 
offers an outstanding Color Light Output 
of 7000 Lm and a high contrast ratio 
of 2500:1. 12bit 3D Digital Gamma 
Correction reproduces gradation in 
greater detail.
Maintenance Made Easy — Lamp 
replacement and filter cleaning are both 
accessible from the side of the projector, 
so that both functions can be performed 
quickly, easily and at the same time 
without uninstalling the projector.
Eco-friendly Features — With the push of 
the “Eco Mode” button on the projector 
or Remote Commander, Lamp mode 
saves the consumption of lamp wattage; 
Power Saving mode kicks in if there is 
no operation for 10 minutes without any 
signal input; and Standby mode can 
reduce power consumption in standby.
 
Quiet and Unobtrusive — Outfitted with 
a white, flat cabinet and a connector 
panel located on the lower face front 
that hides the connectors and cables – 
the VPL-FX500L gives audiences the 
impression that the projector is blended 
into the ceiling when mounted. Plus 
it produces minimal fan noise, so the 
overall effect is unobtrusive.
XGA/7,000 Lumens
Bright, versatile and hardworking.
