-NV1 Module
The BRAVIA
Internet Video Link DMX-NV1
Module is a small device that attaches to the back of your DMe ™ compatible BRAVIA
HDTV and
connects to both DMe and HDMI. When you connect it to your broadband internet connection you
are able to access and watch online video content via the Xross Media Bar™ (XMB™ ) navigation
bar using your BRAVIA HDTV remote control. BRAVIA Internet Video Link is just one example of how
Sony has expanded the potential of your HDTV. Now you can enjoy on-demand entertainment and
information on-demand from the Internet to your compatible BRAVIA HDTV.
Full HD 1080p It’s a high definition world and the best high definition resolution this brave new world
offers is 1080p; that’s why Sony has more Full HD 1080p HDTVs than ever before. Full HD 1080p means
our connections accept 1080p signals and the display will render that signal in Full HD 1080p. The
flexibility of native 1920 x 1080 displays allows any high definition content to be viewed without the
need to downconvert images to the native resolution of the display. Take full advantage of Blu-ray
Disc™ players and PlayStation®3 systems that can deliver1080p content.
DMe
Sony’s Digital Media Extender (DMe ) offers a digital connection path for optional modules
like the BRAVIA Internet Video Link, as well as other modules you can add in the future. Innovative
DMe
expansion capabilities integrate into the award-winning XMB™ user interface making HDTVs a
powerful entertainment platform that not only meets current needs, but expands to meet
tomorrow’s needs as well.
Motionflow™ 120Hz Technology Motionflow 120Hz technology doubles the number of existing
frames by calculating in real time and inserting 60 entirely new frames between the original 60
frames. It uses a special Sony-developed algorithm that detects specific objects, as well as the
movement of the overall scene and intelligently applies the right amount of enhancement. There’s
more to the story. Unlike some other high frame rate technologies, Motionflow also includes Sony’s
unique Image Blur Reduction algorithm, which reduces blur from the original source image
captured by a camera before applying motion enhancement technology. There are many forms of
high frame rate technology in the market today, but only Motionflow 120Hz technology uses special
Sony algorithms designed to intelligently detect and apply the right amount of enhancement to
reduce judder and deliver a smoother, sharper picture with more natural motion of the original film.
