Cinema Is Coming Home: Sony Electronics Strengthens its BRAVIA® Projector Line-Up with the BRAVIA Projector 7 (VPL-XW5100ES) with XR Processor™
The BRAVIA Projector 7 (VPL-XW5100ES) is the latest Native 4K SXRD laser projector from Sony joining the existing BRAVIA Projector 9 & 8 to deliver a professional-grade cinematic HDR experience in the home.
SAN DIEGO, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Electronics Inc. today announced the latest addition to its line-up of BRAVIA® projectors, the BRAVIA Projector 7, powered by BRAVIA XR Processor for projector, which optimizes Sony’s cutting-edge BRAVIA TV video processing for projection. The new projector joins the existing comprehensive BRAVIA line up, with the BRAVIA Projector 9 (VPL-XW8100ES) and BRAVIA Projector 8 (VPL-XW6100ES).
Delivering an immersive cinematic experience
Sony’s new BRAVIA Projector 7, powered by XR Processor for projector and high-brightness technology, benefits from the same spectacular technology found in the existing BRAVIA Projector 9 and Projector 8. XR Processor for projector enables four powerful picture features – XR Dynamic Tone Mapping, XR Deep Black, XR TRILUMINOUS PRO, and XR Clear Image to deliver a professional-grade cinematic experience. XR Dynamic Tone Mapping analyses peak brightness frame by frame, and delivers optimal tone mapping, showcasing images with rich gradation, high brightness, and brilliant colors.
In addition, XR Deep Black controls powerful laser dimming in dark scenes, bringing deeper blacks while maintaining tone and color expression. XR Deep Black improves power efficiency by optimizing laser output frame by frame. Plus, over a billion colors are brought to life by the XR TRILUMINOS PRO feature and refined by XR Clear Image technology, which upscales all imagery to 4K quality by using a vast database to intelligently recreate lost texture and detail, all while minimizing noise.1
Like the BRAVIA Projector 9 and 8, BRAVIA Projector 7 is compatible with IMAX Enhanced content, ready to deliver bigger, more breathtaking IMAX visuals for a more immersive viewing experience.
Sony’s wide variety of products such as digital cinema cameras and professional monitors have been widely utilized by film production professionals, allowing a unique understanding of the cinema industry and relationship with filmmakers. The new line-up of BRAVIA TVs, home audio, and home cinema projectors draws the connection between the filmmaker and the viewers, bringing the authentic cinematic experience to the home.
