BRAVIA Engine™ PRO Full Digital Video Processor
Presenting the next evolution of the BRAVIA Engine™
PRO.
Sony improved on the great benefits of the BRAVIA Engine™ by adding a picture quality enhancement circuit called
Digital Reality Creation Multi-function v2.5. DRC-MFv2.5 now has the added ability to process interlace and
progressive video signals and because it has twice the processing power of previous DRC-MF circuits, it can do its
processing and output them to 1080p. (1080p signals are not processed through this DRC-MFv2.5.) Add to this the
crisp details, outstanding contrast, eye popping colors, and dramatically reduced digital artifacts that DRC-MF
circuitry is known for. And the best part of all is that DRC-MFv2.5 is user adjustable according to the video source.
All of this helps define the reason why people want Sony TVs to begin with unparalleled picture quality.
Full HD 1080
There are a lot of ways to define high-definition but Sony Full HD means you’re getting the best
resolution that high-definition has to offer. With Sony HDTVs, Full HD 1080 means 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1080p
video inputs. From a Blu-ray Disc™ player, BRAVIA® LCD Television or SXRD™
Front Projector or Rear Projection
Television -- your lifestyle demands the best in high-definition which is why Sony puts its Full HD 1080 technology
in more HD devices than any other manufacturer.
1920 x 1080 Panel Resolution
When it comes to high-definition TV the pinnacle of performance is achieved by
using 1920 x 1080 display panels. And BRAVIA V-Series televisions have them. Full HD 1920 x 1080 panel
resolution with over 2 million pixels (more than twice that of 720p HDTV) is exactly what you need to reproduce the
1080p content that can be delivered by our cutting edge 1080p Blu-ray disc™ player. And working with BRAVIA
Engine™ PRO everything from standard definition and high definition is upconverted to 1080p for a picture so real
it’s like you’re actually there.
Live Color Creation System
Decades of television know how allow us to realize that an LCD TV is more than just
the panel; it’s actually a system. Uncompromised picture quality starts with combining carefully chosen
components and circuits to optimize system quality, among these are the color creation and processing functions.
That
’s what Live Color Creation is all about. It starts with the BRAVIA Engine™ PRO video processing system, which
enhances primary colors and corrects half-tone colors for natural overall color. Next, a WCG-CCFL backlight using
Sony’s phosphor formula delivers a specific spectrum of light designed to work with our specially formulated color
filters. The combination of these three components creates deep, deep blues and natural greens for overall colors
that draw you right into the picture.
HDMI™ and PC Connectivity
Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’
s BRAVIA XBR-Series LCD TVs are
equipped with a comprehensive range of input interfaces. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the
first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI technology supports enhanced or
High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital audio to provide matchless image and sound
reproduction. BRAVIA XBR Series TVs include (3) HDMI 1080/60p inputs. The PC input (HD-15-pin) offers easy
connection to your PC, allowing you to use your high resolution BRAVIA XBR-Series Digital TV as a computer
monitor.
