Dojo – Stara Wieś has chosen to merge Japanese tradition with ultra-high definition technology by installing Sony VPL-FHZ55 and VPL-CW275 projectors in its conference rooms and Bravia 4K monitors in the reception and dining room..

The Japanese martial arts sports center Dojo – Stara Wiés, based in Przedbórz (Poland), is the largest training complex in the world specializing in Far Eastern sports and martial arts, with a wide range of services, both sporting and spiritual that seek to experience the atmosphere and philosophy of Japanese martial arts. Dojo is also a place designed to hold conferences and group dynamics., that can be combined with other activities related to Japanese culture, like workshops to learn how to prepare sushi.

It took six years to build Dojo, taking Japanese culture and philosophy as a reference to create a space where visitors could find tranquility and a feeling of harmony in their 60 hectares of space. A project that has been carried out by the Polish Traditional Karate Federation and the Foundation for the Development of Traditional Karate.

As one of the world's leading martial arts centers, para Dojo – Stara Wieś was important to have the best equipment available for the implementation of its educational and training purposes. Since it also has spaces to hold business travel conferences, Choosing the most versatile and reliable technology capable of reflecting Japanese culture was vital for Dojo..

To respond to all these requirements, Two projectors were installed in the main building. Sony, el VPL-FHZ55 y el VPL-CW275. Both were chosen for their reliability, ease of use and low maintenance costs. “Opting for Sony as a technological partner was not difficult at all. It is a Japanese company with a long history, capable of offering us the quality we need”, explained Alina Ładzińska, vice president of the Foundation for the development of traditional karate.

The main building has two conference rooms. The largest room, which has a surface of 700 m2, houses the VPL-FHZ55 laser model, while the VPL-CW275 works in the smallest room.

The VPL-FHZ55 offers a contrast ratio of 8000:1 with a brightness level of 4000 lumens. “It is a conscious choice, since a resolution higher than Full HD, with high levels of quality and contrast, provides a clear image, rich in details, which is extremely important for viewing championships or training videos”, aclara Ładzińska.

The VPL-FHZ55 also provides up to 20.000 hours of maintenance-free use because the laser light source eliminates the need for a traditional light bulb, which is important when using the projector for long periods of time.
