VPL-GTZ380
VPL-GTZ380 is Sony’s 10,000-lumen native-4K SXRD flagship for large, high-performance private cinemas, combining three 0.74-inch 4K panels, a three-channel laser light source and full DCI-P3 colour coverage.

WHY IT EXISTS
A Sony projector engineered for large-format private cinema rather than conventional residential placement.
At 10,000 lumens, GTZ380 can support image sizes and on-screen luminance targets well beyond the BRAVIA Projector 7/8/9 family while retaining Sony’s native-4K SXRD approach.
Its optional short- and standard-throw powered lenses, 4096 × 2160 native panels and full DCI-P3 coverage make it a system-design projector: room geometry, screen size, cooling and signal architecture should be decided with the projector rather than after it.
IDEAL APPLICATION
Where this projector makes sense.
High-brightness design briefs
The GTZ380 can be relevant where a conventional residential projector simply cannot maintain the required luminance across the chosen image area.
4K120 signal paths
It accepts 3840 × 2160 and 4096 × 2160 signals up to 120p, making signal-chain bandwidth an important part of system design.
PROJECTION OPTICS
Large-projector optics must be designed, not guessed.
The GTZ380 uses a powered projection lens system and is intended for professionally engineered installations. Verify throw, shift, image size, service clearances and final lens configuration against Sony project documentation.
Optical designPowered focus and zoomTreat projector position, screen width and service access as architectural decisions.
