High resolution “4K”
Sony original SXRD display devices deliver the exceptionally
high resolution of “4K” (4096 H x 2160 V pixels at 1.85:1
aspect ratio). “4K” is stipulated by DCI as a resolution
corresponding to the master images of 65mm film for Digital
Cinema. The resolution of “4K” is more than four times as
many pixels as full HDTV (1920 x 1080, 16:9 wide screen
format). “4K” resolution is ideal for visual applications in
which quality is critical.
The SXRD device helps to achieve this high picture quality
by incorporating nearly 8.85 million pixels per imager at a
narrow pitch of 8.5 micrometers. These high-density pixels
enable an outstandingly high-resolution that are half the size
of pixels projected using typical 2K resolution projection
systems. Even in multi-screen mode, full 2K resolution per
quadrant is possible.
High 1800:1 contrast ratio
The SRX-R110 and the SRX-R105 offer a high contrast ratio
of more than 1800:1* through the use of Sony’s unique new
SXRD device. The SXRD imaging device itself achieves a
contrast ratio of 4000:1.
This stunning picture quality makes the SRX-R110 and
SRX-R105 ideal for applications in which dynamic range is
essential.
The high contrast ratio has been achieved through two key
technologies – the ‘Vertically Aligned Liquid Crystal’ system
and an extremely thin liquid crystal cell gap.
*
The contrast ratio is measured under the condition that projection is on the screen with a
screen gain of 1.0.

The state-of the-art techno
Silicon X-tal Reflective Display
(SXRD) imaging device
The SXRD device used by the SRX-R110 and SRX-R105 is a
1.55-inch* Liquid Crystal on Silicon based imager
developed using leading-edge manufacturing technology.
High-quality, accurate visuals are created using this brilliant
imaging device.

In 1999, Sony introduced a totally new concept of
digital cinema production for moviemakers to
demonstrate a new higher level of picture quality,
efficiency and flexibility in production processes.
Sony’s new approach was to produce movies in a
high-definition progressive video format at 24 frames per
second using digital video tape media. This concept
and Sony’s product line enabling this concept were
named “CineAlta”, and have been highly embraced by
an ever-broadening spectrum of producers, directors and
cinematographers all over the world. An increasing
number of movies have been produced using CineAlta
equipment, and from this point forward, more and more
motion pictures will continue to be produced digitally
using these systems.
Since this revolutionary introduction, Sony has
continually provided a comprehensive range of CineAlta
products including digital video cameras, digital VTRs,
monitors and digital editing systems -- each offering
breathtaking picture quality and stunning performance.
Sony’s development for the motion picture industry does
not remain in the content creation domain, but
continues with another important revolution by
engineering an incredibly high, 4K- resolution digital
projection system under the CineAlta logo.
Now Sony’s CineAlta lineup consists of products from
acquisition through theatrical projection Sony’s CineAlta
4K digital projector is the latest, but most important
piece of the “Digital Cinema” picture.
