Experience blur-free action

with Motionflow
To bring the thrill of watching fast-paced,
cinematic action to the home, the
VPL-VW1000ES features a technology
called Motionflow, which makes motion
much smoother. This innovative process
creates and inserts artificial frames, first
comparing key visual factors on
successive frames – then calculating the
split second of ‘missing’ action in the
sequence. This action mimics that of
actual movie projection, viewers will Without Motionflow With Motionflow
experience movies and sports with a
greater sense of realism than ever before.

Zoom lens and wider lens shift for

maximum installation flexibility
Range of movement
The VPL-VW1000ES combines a 2.1 zoom of the projected picture
