Key Technologies
24p True Cinema Many films are shot at 24 images per second. Because of the limitations of conventional televisions (both
CRT and flat panels), these 24 images can’t be faithfully reproduced. The sequence of the 24 images gets altered in order to
display the content on television. The result is a unnatural, jerky movement that the movie creators did not intend. With 24p
True Cinema, the 24 progressive images are displayed as they should be, in the same sequence as the original film source. In
combination with next-generation video devices like Blu- ray ® Disc, the same film-like motion that you could only enjoy in the
theaters in now available in the comfort of your living room.
Advanced Iris2 Function This function reproduces bright images in bright scenes and deep blacks in dark scenes by
dynamically changing the opening according to the level of input signals. Two “ Auto ” modes offer the user some flexibility
depending on content. And each mode has three sensitivity settings- Recommended, Fast and Slow to allow additional
adjustments. Working in combination with the High Contrast Plate, an awesome contrast ratio of up to 12,000:1 can now be
achieved.
High Contrast Plate The High Contrast Plate adjusts diagonal light to reduce light leakage that can take place between the
ON/OFF status of liquid crystal elements. Working with the Advanced Iris Function, the High Contrast Plate controls light
emission from each LCD panel to deepen black levels and offer a high contrast ratio.
Lens Shift Function This function adjusts the picture position both vertically and horizontally to allow for off center
positioning and very flexible installation options.
ARC - F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens The All Range Crisp Focus Lens delivers a crisp focused picture across the screen.
RCP (Real Color Processing) Real Color Processing allows the user to target specific colors on the picture and fine adjust
their color and hue without changing the overall picture’s color and hue.
Full Digital Processing Sony’s Full Digital Video Processing circuits include a number of processes designed to optimize
picture performance of any input source, the 12- Bit Panel Driver achieves excellent gradation reproduction and a high level of
detail.
