Key Technologies

SXRD™  Chips

 

SXRD technology is the latest display technology developed by the legendary television engineers at Sony to 

meet and exceed the demands of a High Definition image at its full 1080 line resolution. Digitally transmitted High Definition 
signals can contain over 2 million individual detail points that need to be displayed accurately and rapidly. SXRD displays 
those 2 million detail points per SXRD panel accurately since the 3 SXRD chips actually contain enough pixels to fully display a 
1080 line picture without interlacing it.

SXRD technology has the speed to create a smooth, film like image. The SXRD chips have a blistering response time (less than 
5ms total rise and fall time), which exceeds the demands of even the most rapidly moving High Definition images. And SXRD 
creates highly accurate, natural colors because the 3-chip design displays all the colors, all the time.

Advanced Iris

 

Advanced Iris Function - The Advanced Iris function is a special Sony function designed to improve contrast 

expression especially in darker scenes. The Advanced Iris function is enabled by using either one of two modes - Auto and 
Manual. The Auto Mode has two settings designed to work best with video content such as movies that vary between bright 
scenes and dark scenes. Auto 1 is for programs that have a wide range of brightness from scene to scene. Auto 2 is for 
programs that have less variation between brightness levels from scene to scene.

The Manual mode is used to help deliver optimum contrast levels under different room lighting conditions. The High mode 
offers maximum screen brightness and works well when a room is brightly lit. The Medium mode is for average levels of light. 
And the Low mode offers the maximum amount of contrast and works best under low light conditions. The key benefits are 
deep blacks and improved brightness and overall contrast.

WEGA Engine™  Video Processor

 

Leveraging Sony’s TV heritage and engineering expertise, the latest generation of Sony’s 

exclusive WEGA Engine™  is born. Its fully digital signal-processing path includes video processing functions that are designed 
to improve overall picture quality. Among the key functions that have been added to the WEGA Engine are: 

> Green, blue and white color enhancer circuit, which selectively adjusts common natural colors like green, white and blue 
color levels for a more vivid image, 

> Digital MPEG Noise Reduction Circuit, which reduces MPEG artifacts such as “ block noise”  and mosquito noise”  caused by 
compression used in digital broadcasts used to maximize bandwidth.

> Digital Contrast Enhancer circuit processes every field automatically selecting out details and optimizing contrast for each 
scene. Adaptive processing improves the low contrast parts of the picture providing crisp and vivid images with high 
contrast.

The overall result of WEGA Engine has to be seen to be believed.

HDMI™  and PC Inputs

 

Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’s Grand WEGA™  line is 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. A D-Sub 15 input also allows connection to your PC , allowing you to 
use your high resolution Grand WEGA TV as a computer monitor.
