Super Fine Pitch
TM
CRT. An improvement
in the FD Trinitron picture tube.
Behind the screen, we've reduced the spacing or "pitch" of the Aperture Grill by 65%.
You get higher resolution,
greater precision
and a television that takes full advantage
of High Definition
source material
Component
video inputs
enable high-quality
analog connection
_om a DVD player
or satellite receiver.
The separate components
of the video signal can be YiPjP_ or
RiG/B.
HDTV reception.
Some televisions
offer a complete HDTV receiver built in. So
you have access to bee, over-the-air
digital TV broadcasts
that are already available
to 97% of American homes.
MID
TM
circuitry.
If you're a fan of picture-in-picture,
wait until you've tried Sony's
Twin View
TM
picture-and-picture!
Powered by the MID circuit, this feature displays
two pictures side-by-side.
Then you can zoom each picture up or dm_u in size,
depending
on what's going on and what's important.
You can even display a High
Definition
source side-by-side
with Standard Definition
on the same screen.
WEGA
Engine
TM
circuitry.
This is the secret behind XBR® Plasma r_rE(J'ATM and
XBR LCD WEGA
TM
television.
It perforras
the all-important
"scaling" that helps
determine
the picture quality of ]Lxed pLxel displays.
Unlike conventional
circuitry,
the WEGA Engine system maintains
the picture in the digital domain _om the first
stage to the last. In this way, Sony achieves a picture that's less like watching
television -- and more like a window on the world.
Refinements
include Direct
Digital Circuitry, the DRC
TM
Multi-Function
system and MID
TM
X circuitry.
Memory
Stick® media playback.
A growing
number of Sony televisions
includes a
Memory
Stick media slot. The latest televisions
will display JPEG images (DCF
ibrma0.*
Simply slide the Memory
Stick media out of a Sony Cyber-shot®
camera
or Handycam®
camcorder
and into the television's
Memory
Stick slot!
3D Comb
filter.
To maximize
the picture detail of conventional
TV broadcasts,
televisions need to separate the luminance
(Y) _om the chrominance
(C). The 3D
comb filter analyzes the picture over three dimensions:
vertical, horizontal
and time,
to get superb detail and high color purity under the widest range of picture conditions.
