Sony and Digital Projection
To casual observers, Sony's involvement in Large Venue and Digital
Cinema projection may come as a surprise. But industry insiders understand
Sony's deep involvement in the technology of digital entertainment almost every
step of the way, from acquisition and production to postproduction and projection.
In addition, modern microdisplay technologies are shared between large-venue
and home theater digital projectors. As a company that also makes consumer
products, Sony has a multi-million dollar incentive to excel in microdisplays.
• Sony and projection. We announced our first video projection system
when Richard Nixon was in the White House and the original Godfather
was in first-run theaters. The year was 1972. We were also the first
company to deliver a consumer video projector in the United States.
Since that time, we've been a leader in projection systems for commercial
airliners, lecture halls, casino sports book, command & control rooms,
conference rooms and living rooms. We launched our first "universal"
PAL/NTSC/RGB projector, the VPH-1020Q in 1982. In 1989, our HDIH-
2000 high definition projector found such high profile applications as the
"World of Coke" exhibit in Atlanta. And we continued to develop and
refine professional CRT projectors up to the much loved VPH-G90U
(1999). Today's 4K models represent the latest generation in Sony
projection technology.

• Sony and display picture quality. Sony professional monitors are used
for critical picture evaluation. Our BVM Series monitors are front and
center when digital program content is scrutinized for exposure, focus,
color, contrast and detail.
