of
the disc by the age
of
the users according to the
limitation level
in
each country. The limitation

and so on.
PhotoTV
HD
"PhotoTV HO" allows for a highly-detailed
pictures, and photo-like expression
of
subtle
textures and colors. By connecting Sony
"PhotoTV HD" compatible devices using an
HOMI cable, whole new world

progressive format can reproduce
50
- 60 frames
per second by reproducing all scanning lines
(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall
picture quality increases and still images, text
and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format
is
compatible with the 525

625 progressive
format.
S-AIR
(Sony
Audio
Interactive
Radio
frequency)
Recent times have seen the rapid spread
of
BDI
OVO media, Digital Broadcasting, and other
high-quality media.
To ensure that the subtle nuances
of
these high-
quality media are transmitted with no
deterioration, Sony has developed a technology
called "S-AIR" for the radio transmission
of
digital audio signals with no compression, and
has incorporated this technology into the EZW-
RT I
O/EZW-RTIOAIEZW-T100.
This technology transfers digital audio signals
with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band
range
of
ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and
Medical band), such as wireless LANs and
Bluetooth applications.
x.v.Color
x.v.Color
is
a familiar term for the xvYCC
standard proposed by Sony.
xvYCC is an international standard for Color
space in video.
This standard can express a wider color range
than the currently used broadcast standard.
24p
True
Cinema
Movies shot with a film camera consist
of
24
frames per second.
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and
flat panels) display frames either at
1160
or
1150
second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at
an even pace.
When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities,
the player displays each frame at
1124
second
intervals - the same interval originally shot
with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing
the original cinema image.
