Advanced Iris 2

Deep Color
By combining a 10-bit processor with 10-bit SXRD™ panels, the VPL-VW70 can create and display 64 times the level of color expression of 8-bit projectors, resulting in smoother color gradations and helping to avoid a “paint-by-numbers” look.
Panel Alignment function
A Panel Alignment function enables pixel alignment to within 1/10th of a pixel6, making it possible to shift the entire picture or specific zones to adjust for color gaps and produce a brighter, clearer, and more detailed picture.
Motorized Lens Shift
Motorized Lens Shift provides vertical and horizontal adjustments that allow the projector to be placed in different locations, expanding the projector's placement and installation options without distorting image quality.
Various Analog Inputs
The VPL-VW70 features various analog inputs including YPbPr Component, S-Video, Composite video, and a PC input (D-sub 15-pin) for easy connection to a wide variety of video sources.
BRAVIA Sync™
BRAVIA Sync gives you one-touch access and control functionality over over your HDMI-CEC- enabled Sony® Handycam® camcorders using the projector’s remote and an on-screen display5.
Functional Cosmetic Design for Home Theater
The VPL-VW70 features a stylish, sophisticated design befitting a Home Cinema Projector of its caliber. Sleek, rounded edges and a dark exterior color coordinate well with any high-end home theater environment, and the metallic painted finish draws inspiration from the celestial beauty of a starry midnight sky.

x.v.Color technology takes HD color expression to new levels. When connected to x.v.Color capable video sources, such as select Sony® camcorders, the VPL-VW70 can display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors as the existing RGB color standard, resulting in more natural, life-like images.
Noise reduction functions
The VPL-VW70 features noise reduction functions that analyze scenes in real time to identify various types of noise and reduce unwanted artifacts, such as mosquito noise and block noise, without compromising the video signal.
1.6x Zoom Lens
A 1.6x zoom lens provides a short focus distance and takes full advantage of Sony® SXRDTM technology to provide superior resolution and focus.
