Key Technologies
3LCD Chips
The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony’s Grand WEGA™ televisions provide a bright picture, with high detail
and natural color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when viewing a Grand WEGA™ TV. You can expect to see
an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors.
Sony uses three tiny LCD chips (0.73” ) with a combined resolution of over 2.76 million pixels. The light from a high output UHP
lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams. Each color goes through its
own LCD chip, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then instantaneously recombined and sent to the
projection lens.
WEGA Engine™ System
The WEGA Engine™ system is the core video processing system that was designed based on Sony’s
expertise and long heritage in bringing cutting-edge picture quality to TVs for consumers. Its fully digital signal-processing
path includes video processing functions that have been designed and optimized using Sony’s video experience to improve
overall picture quality. The WEGA Engine™ includes:
> High-speed A/D (analog-to-digital) converters for wide-range gradation capture of analog signals
> 3-D Y/C Comb Filter for minimizing cross color and dot structure artifacts
> Digital MPEG Noise Reduction Circuit, which reduces MPEG artifacts such as “ block noise” and mosquito noise” caused by
the compression used to maximize bandwidth in digital broadcasts
> Digital Temporal 3-D Noise Reduction (pixel-by-pixel basis)
> Digital Motion Adaptive I/P (interlace-to-progressive), as well as Edge Adaptive I/P deinterlacing conversion, which improves
resolution in video with motion
Cinema Black Pro
Cinema Black Pro is an exclusive Sony function designed to improve contrast expression especially in
darker scenes. The Cinema Black Pro function is enabled by using either one or both of two features - Iris Control and
Advanced Iris. The Iris Control function sets the maximum size of the iris opening and sets the overall level of brightness.
There are several settings that allow the user to adjust the iris opening to best match the room lighting conditions.
The Advanced Iris function is a dynamic adjustment that automatically opens and closes the iris according to the gamma level
of the picture on the screen. There are several different adjustments that optimize viewing for movies, music videos, sports,
and news.
HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and PC Connectivity
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 digital audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction. PC connectivity is also
accommodated via HDMI so now you can use your Grand WEGA TV with your PC.
