About i.LINK

 

 

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital video, digital

 

 

audio, and other data in two directions between equipment having

 

 

an i.LINK jack, and for controlling other equipment.

 

 

i.LINK compatible equipment can be connected using a single i.LINK

 

 

cable. Possible applications are operations and data transactions with

 

 

various digital AV equipment. When two or more i.LINK compatible

 

 

devices are connected to the projection TV, operations and data

 

 

transactions are possible not only with the equipment that this unit is

 

 

connected to, but also with the other devices via the directly

 

 

connected equipment.

 

 

Note, however, that the method of operation sometimes varies

 

 

according to the characteristics and specifications of the equipment to

 

 

be connected, and that operations and data transactions are

 

 

sometimes not possible on some connected equipment.

 

 

 

 

 

✍ Before connecting this unit to i.LINK compatible equipment, refer to the

 

 

instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

About the Name

 

i.LINK is Sony’s term for the IEEE 1394 data transport bus, and is a

i.LINK

 

trademark approved by many corporations. IEEE 1394 is an

 

 

international standard standardized by the Institute of Electrical

 

 

Electronic Engineers.

 

 

 

i.LINK as a Repeater

 

This device functions as a repeater or node, so that the i.LINK specific

 

 

digital signals provided by one device will be relayed to another

 

 

device that is connected to the first device. This will occur even when

 

 

the second device does not have the means to use the repeater digital

 

 

signals.

 

 

When i.LINK devices are connected to this projection TV, the

 

 

maximum bit rate (the speed at which data can be sent or received) is

 

 

200 Mbps (megabits per second).

 

 

To use this projection TV as an i.LINK repeater when the unit is

 

 

powered off, be sure that the i.LINK Standby option is set to On, as

 

 

described on page 66.

KDP 65XBR2, KDP 57XBR2 specifications

The Sony KDP-57XBR2 and KDP-65XBR2 are pioneering rear-projection televisions that epitomize the advancements in display technology of their time. Released in the early 2000s, both models were celebrated for their impressive picture quality, versatile features, and cutting-edge technologies.

At the heart of the KDP-57XBR2 and KDP-65XBR2 is Sony’s proprietary Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology, which set a new standard for rear-projection TVs. This technology combines the benefits of both LCD and DLP, providing exceptional color accuracy and contrast. The LCoS panels operate by reflecting light off a silicon backing, resulting in deeper blacks and vibrant colors, making these TVs ideal for a wide range of viewing environments.

One of the standout features of both models is their high-resolution display capabilities; the KDP-57XBR2 boasts a 57-inch screen, while the KDP-65XBR2 features a larger 65-inch screen. Both TVs are capable of displaying 1080p resolution, ensuring that viewers can enjoy crisp, detailed images, particularly beneficial for high-definition content. The inclusion of a 16:9 aspect ratio also enhances the viewing experience, making them perfect for movies and sports.

The Intelligent Digital Reality Creation technology in these models further enhances visual performance by upscaling standard definition content, allowing for a more immersive experience. Additionally, the XBR series was known for its robust build quality and elegant design, which included a sleek cabinet that complemented modern home décor.

In terms of connectivity, the KDP-57XBR2 and KDP-65XBR2 come equipped with multiple input options, including HDMI, component, S-video, and composite inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of devices, from gaming consoles to DVD players. This versatility was aimed at accommodating the burgeoning market for high-definition media devices.

Overall, the Sony KDP-57XBR2 and KDP-65XBR2 appealed to consumers looking for high-quality large-screen viewing experiences at home. Combining advanced LCoS technology, impressive resolutions, and a range of connectivity options, these models remain a testament to Sony's innovation in television design. By setting benchmarks for picture quality and technological advancements in the early 2000s, they have left a lasting impact on the evolution of home entertainment systems.
