Digital Picture Processing
– BRAVIA ENGINE 2
The unique BRAVIA ENGINE 2
delivers vibrant colours and
exceptional image quality. It consists
of eight separate stages of image
enhancement – carried out in real
time – each has a specialised
function. Together they generate a
picture that is optimised in every
way, from the accuracy of the
contrast to the precision of the
colour reproduction.
Panel alignment function
The panel alignment function allows
users to select R (Red) or B (Blue) to
make adjustments based on G
(Green), and to adjust the horizontal
and vertical direction by shifting a
full image of each colour, achieving
the perfect colour registration of the
projected images.
ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus)
Lens (1.6x)
This lens projects crisp and beautiful
full 1080p HD images right to every
corner of the screen.
BRAVIA Sync
BRAVIA Sync simplifies and
enhances the home theatre
experience. Through the control
capabilities of HDMI (High Definition
Multimedia Interface), the devices
sync with one another for intuitive
operations such as One Touch Play
and System Stand-by.
24p true cinema mode
This feature allows films to be watched as
intended by the director for the big screen,
at 24 frames per second.
Selectable 7 gamma base line
Flexible user setting for picture quality.
Two HDMI Inputs
Real Colour Processing (RCP)
Allows you to adjust the hue of a specific
colour without changing the whole image.
Low fan noise of 22dB
UHP (Ultra High Pressure) Lamp

ultra-bright 200 W UHP lamp.
x.v.Colour
Delivers lifelike colours and natural tones.
1080 Full HD SXRD Panel
technology
With three of Sony’s 1920 x 1080 SXRD
panels at the heart of the BRAVIA
SXRD Home Cinema Projectors, a
consistently superior image is
produced across the entire screen.
The unique combination of three
separate panels of 1920 x 1080
resolution (one each for red, green
and blue) means that SXRD can
deliver over 6.2 million pixels, more
than twice as many as the 2.8 million
pixels you get with other 720p HD
ready projectors. SXRD provides
film-quality smoothness by minimizing
the space between pixels (0.35µm)
for smooth and dot-less pictures.
High Contrast Ratio –
60,000:1 with Advanced
Iris 3™ technology
The Advanced Iris 3 contrast
enhancement works like the human
eye, responding dynamically to the
level of light in each scene, always
selecting the optimum contrast. With
a very high range of 60,000:1,
Advanced Iris 3 can bring out the
detail in darker sequences and
prevent bright scenes from looking
washed out.
