HD Fulfilled at the Sony Booth - GV Expo '06
GV Expo 2006

Sony's technology display (Booth #701) at Government Video Expo, December 6-7, 2006 at the Washington D.C. Convention Center, is the most convenient way for government users to gain hands-on experience and professional-demonstrations of the latest video production, display and workflow solution products. It is a single-stop overview of the many ways your operation can make its own HD transition. No wonder that Sony's booth is set front and center at the show and remains the prime attraction for most of the event's attendees.

In fact, Sony's annual government technology demonstrations in our nation's capital actually pre-date this industry gathering. Sony has long been committed to serving the information needs of government video users and, what began as a hotel-based, annual Sony conference, has since evolved into a tradeshow that features well over 300 other technology providers.

Sony BrightEra™ LCDs Make Debut at GV Expo

A new era in LCD video projection will debut at GV Expo in Washington DC, when Sony introduces two new video projectors featuring BrightEra™ technology. The new VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 BrightEra™ projectors feature an LCD panel design that produces a higher aperture ratio, which results in brighter images than previous High Temperature Poly-Silicon LCD-based systems and allows the projectors to achieve increased resolution and quieter fan noise.

Both projectors produce 4,000 lumens (ANSI or other), and are designed for networked fixed installations in government as well as a range of other applications. The VPL-FE40 has a native SXGA+ resolution of 1400 x 1050 pixels. The VPL-FX40 delivers native XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.

HDXchange™ System Links Government HD Production

The Internet will be remembered as possibly the greatest public works project in modern history. Much like the railroads and interstate highways tied together our country, this online revolution, which began as a Defense Department initiative, has indeed made this a much smaller world -- allowing home offices and government agencies alike to connect seamlessly over long distances, with workers sharing digital data, using multiple desktop computing formats, and making the concept of a consolidated office, often, a thing of the past.

The New Look of Government Video

By John Kaloukian
Director of Marketing, Sony Electronics’ Professional Display Group

First there were televisions, then monitors, and now displays. The transformation in terminology for these omnipresent viewing devices reflects how their role has changed and how diversified their applications have become.

During a recent trip to visit customers in Washington D.C., I was struck by the fact that there is no single video viewing solution and that, while the government’s rapid transition to HD is at one end elevating the demand for better quality and more critical video data delivery, at the other end there is still an increasing demand for portable and affordable standard-definition solutions.

Sony has reacted to the changing and varied needs of its government customers by delivering a wide range of displays. From the acclaimed SXRD™ 4K large venue/digital cinema projector, which delivers more than four times the resolution of full HDTV (1920 x 1080), to LUMA™, the most advanced, critical viewing, professional LCD, flat-panel monitors, to a wide range of installed and portable projectors, as well as flat-panels designed specifically for digital signage applications, Sony has the right display for virtually every application.
