Sony introduces support for 21:9 aspect ratio projection

Sony is providing a free firmware update that supports the 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio for applications such as business meetings and collaborative sessions.

This enhancement is available now for Sony’s existing line-up of mid-range, interchangeable lens projectors, the VPL-FHZ85 and VPL-FHZ80, and will be available for the ultra-compact, fixed lens projector series, the VPL-PHZ61 and VPL-PHZ51 by the end of this month.

The 21:9 Ultrawide Full HD aspect ratio with 2,560 x 1,080 input signal support provides greater immersion and flexibility for use with the latest business presentation, a video conferencing platform, or dynamic content sharing.

Ayaka Banno, projectors business planning and product marketing manager at Sony Professional Displays & Solutions Europe commented: “This firmware update is a testament to our commitment to staying at the forefront of visual innovation. We’re excited to offer our customers a wider dimension to collaborative platform viewing experiences, blending the communication barriers between on-site, hybrid and remote event participants.”

This firmware update expands upon Sony’s key projection differentiators, including Reality Creation, which enhances the overall sharpness, resolution and quality of pictures, graphs, or text and Ambiance which measures the room’s brightness using an ambient light sensor and optimally calibrates additional visual settings.
