Sony VPL-FH500L Specifications page 3

Twin-lamp System for Peace-of-mind Operation
The VPL-FH500L's twin-lamp system provides both peace-of-
mind and economical operation. One lamp can output a
total of 7,000 lumens but a second lamp is built in to provide
automatic backup should the primary lamp fail. The two
lamps are alternately used, achieving a recommended lamp
replacement time of up to 8,000 hours, saving maintenance
time and cost.

Installation Advantages
Lens Shift Function
The VPL-FH500L has a Lens Shift function which is controlled
from the projector control panel or the supplied Remote
Commander™ unit. Using this function, the position of the
projected image can be moved vertically by -113% to +113%
and horizontally by -63% to +63%. Images can be easily
adjusted to the desired settings during installation. With this
exceptional shift range, the VPL-FH500L can be installed in
a way to maximize performance even in the most difficult
environments.

"Blend-in" Design
The VPL-FH500L showcases a newly designed low-profile
chassis, so the projector appears to blend into the ceiling or
wall on which it is mounted. The connector panel is located
on the front of the unit so its cables cannot be seen by the
audience.
