The Sony VPL-VZ1000ES is a second generation Ultra Short Throw 4096 x 2160 resolution 4K projector. Utilising a high-efficiency Z-Phosphor laser light engine, it can be positioned just 155mm from a wall to cast a 100-inch image onto a white space or fixed/motorised screen.

The appeal of UST projectors for integrators is considerable. They can be deployed in rooms where either cosmetic considerations (from décor to listed building status) or room size prevents a conventional long throw model being installed. The UST form factor also eliminates problems caused by hanging lights or fans.
