Key Technologies

• DRC™ Digtial Reality Creation™ Multi-function analyzes a 480i NTSC image and creates a digital bit mapped pattern in real time. The original NTSC signal is mapped in real time, replaced with an HD representative and then discarded. Because DRC™ processes video signals in real time, it creates an image with 4X the density of the original signal. Resolution is increased both vertically and horizontally.
• CineMotion™ Reverse 3-2 Pulldown improves the display of video programs originally shot on 24 frames per second film preserving the integrity of the original film frames for more fluid motion and more fine detail.

FAB

• High Voltage Regulator
  • Advantage: Better on screen focus and a brighter overall picture image
  • Benefit: Brighter images with better focus and less on screen distortion
  • Demonstration: Explanation The High Voltage Regulator pulls the electrons to the screen more intensely and more efficiently providing better focus and brightness. The HV regulator provides a +30% brightness improvement*, a 30% reduction in beam spot size (better focus)* and improved geometry (reduced distortion). *measured at the 27 inch screen size.
    Demonstration Hint Play any DVD footage that has bright whites or light blues and notice the nice bright uniform images on screen.

Feature Benefits:

• 3D Digital Comb Filter --- Sony''s premier comb filter design compares each horizontal scanning line with the lines above and below and with the corresponding line on the previous subsequent video frames. The benefit: reduction in video noise.
• ClearEdge VM™ Wideband Velocity Modulation --- doubles velocity modulation to take full advantage of higher frequency sources such as DVD and DSS. This patented technology creates clean crisp sedge detail and a better overall image on screen.
• High Voltage Regulator --- pulls the electrons to the screen more intensely providing better focus and brightness. The High Voltage Regulator provides +30% brightness improvement, +30% reduction in beam spot size (better focus) and improved geometry (reduced distortion).
