Features

Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:

 

❑ SXRD: SXRD is a Silicon X-tal Reflective Display technology that

 

delivers high-level resolution, greater contrast ratio, faster response speed

 

and film-like reproduction compared to other conventional devices.

 

❑ WEGA Engine: Delivers superb picture quality from any video source

 

by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog

 

conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. This engine features

 

unique Sony technology, including:

 

● The first step in the digital processing system, Composite

 

Component Processor (CCP-X), which enhances input signal-to-

 

noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing.

 

● DRC® (Digital Reality Creation)-MF V2: Unlike conventional

 

line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature replaces the signal’s

 

NTSC waveform with the near-HD equivalent by digital mapping

 

processing. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of

 

detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three

 

custom palettes.

 

● IFP (Image Format Processor): The Digital Texture Enhancer

 

function of this chip provides the optimal contrast by utilizing a

 

wide dynamic range. This chip also reduces signal noise, by using

 

an improved motion vector algorithm, while maintaining image

 

sharpness.

 

❑ Advanced Iris: This advance iris shutter works automatically open and

 

close according to the incoming signal level to create brighter whites

 

and better contrast in dark scenes.

 

❑ Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and

 

enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.

 

❑ CineMotion®: Using the reverse 3-2 pull down technology, the

 

CineMotion feature provides smoother picture movement when playing

 

back movies or other video sources on film.
