The
KDL52XBR4 Features : |
XBR4: Creating A New Reality
Over the years XBR has stood for the best consumer TVs Sony has to
offer and this year's line-up is no exception. XBR televisions
incorporate all of Sony's latest technologies. Features like Motionflow
120Hz High Frame Rate Technology enable smoother motion when viewing
movies or fast-action sports. BRAVIA Engine PRO with Digital Reality
Creation upconverts all interlaced and progressive video signals
including HD signals directly to 1080p for amazing detail and
sharpness. You'll be especially glad to know that the XBR4 has a new
graphical user interface that is winning rave reviews and awards. The
Xross Media Bar is Sony's Emmy Award winning on-screen navigation that
provides quick and easy access to various set-up functions and
features. What else? BRAVIA Theatre Sync, another brand new Sony
brainchild, reduces the hassle and time consuming job of powering up,
changing the signal routing, and adjusting other functions to the
simple push of one button. All you need to do is to connect BRAVIA
Theatre Sync capable products to each other via one HDMI cable. The
rest is easy. "The rest" is perfect video recreation and 2-channel
surround sound to die for.
120Hz:
The Sweetheart Of The Industry
Don't let yourself be distracted by the doodads offered in place of
real progress. I shouldn't be saying this — I am in
advertising
after all — but the odds are you don't need a 108-inch flat
panel
TV on your 120-inch living room wall. What you do need, whether you
realize it or not, is an HDTV with 120Hz image processing for quicker
frame rate conversion and blazing fast pixel response times.
Unconvinced? Here's the facts: Film is shot at 24 frames per second.
And just about every movie disc you can buy is encoded at that speed.
DVD, HD DVD, Blu-ray - all 24 frames per second. Trouble is, television
programming runs at 30 frames per second and most TVs conform to that
standard. See the problem? Fitting that 24-frame content onto a
30-frame screen isn't a seamless process. You can't divide 24 by 30
evenly — so video engineers fill in the gaps. Known as 3:2
pulldown, this conversion process spreads out 24 frames into 30 by
placing one frame on the screen three times and the next one after that
two times, and repeating this pattern again and again and again? which
sometimes causes the stutter and other visual artifacts that can ruin
the illusion of losing yourself in a great movie. To further complicate
things, some video content is recorded at 60 fps, such as certain
modern special effects and computer animations (think Matrix), which
tricks the 3:2 pulldown process and trips up transmission of the
intended on-screen image.
24,
30, 60?
Are you beginning to see the beauty of 120Hz? Grade school math tells
you that 120 is a multiple of 24 and 30 and 60. 120Hz image processing
shows 120 frames per second, allowing these TVs to reproduce
unconverted, evenly extrapolated 24 fps movie, 30 fps television, and
60 fps special effects programming, without the stutter and other
clutter of 3:2 pulldown. To return to the top, a bigger TV is not
necessarily a better TV. Without 120Hz image processing, some things
will certainly be bigger, but they'll still be just as blurry --
especially on-screen text. Imagine missing the get-away car's license
plate number when watching a murder mystery or not catching the content
of those top-secret government documents in a super suspenseful spy
flick. Maybe it's as simple as not being able to read the jersey of the
player who made the interception during the big game. No matter what
the instance, your TV's instant of indecision just cost you the crucial
bit of information and lost you to the rewind once again. Don't bother
with bigger. Go with better, faster, clearer. Go with 120Hz.
Guess
what?
Conveniently enough, the Sony XBR4 offers 120Hz. They call their
version Motionflow ™, which matters not at all. What matters
is
that it doubles the amount of frames from 60fps to 120fps and does it
the right way by using real-time calculation of every single frame of
video to create entire new frames of information. The results are
spectacular.
Bravo!
For The BRAVIA Engine
The KDL52XBR4 features the BRAVIA Engine PRO full digital video
processor, which came about as a result of Sony's expertise and long
heritage in bringing cutting-edge picture quality to consumer
televisions. It contains intelligent picture enhancement technology
that reduces unwanted digital artifacts and delivers superb clarity and
detail along with vivid colors. Sony's own Digital Reality Creation
Multi-function v2.50 (DRC-MFv1) processor replaces the original SD
signal with its HD equivalent. The result of BRAVIA Engine EX
processing? Picture quality has texture and detail, deep and vibrant
colors, along with excellent depth and contrast. Add to this the crisp
details, outstanding contrast, eye popping colors, and dramatically
reduced digital artifacts that DRC-MF circuitry is known for. And the
best part of all is that this technology is user adjustable according
to the video source. All of this helps define the reason why people
want Sony TVs to begin with — unparalleled picture quality.
Xross
Media Bar On-Screen Menu System
You really have to see this on-screen navigation system to believe how
simple it is. Yeah, yeah, I know... that's what every manufacturer says
about every new interface. Really though, this system is so basic a
monkey could master it. There's even hope for your brother-in-law.
Xross Media Bar (XMB) even won Sony an Emmy Award. And really, those
people know their TV. They also know that an on-screen navigation that
provides access to all the most important set up functions and features
is a noteworthy thing in an industry where "simple" means "you can do
it even if all you have is a Master's degree in electrical
engineering!" Scroll horizontally across the icons until you find the
type of media you are looking for. After selecting the media type, a
list of its content appears as vertical thumbnails. That's it. Two
steps.
May
The S-Force Be With You
S-Force Front Surround is a virtual surround sound experience made
possible using just two front speakers in the new XBR4 LCD TVs from
Sony. To accomplish this, Sony spent several years studying how the
human ears hear what they hear. By understanding exactly how we
recognize the origin, directionality, volume, and timing differences in
right and left ear sound, Sony was able to create complex audio
processing that delivers dynamic virtual surround sound without the
need to bounce sound off walls and back to the listener... and without
the need to surrender half an acre of real estate in your living room
to traditional surround sound speakers.
Get
Connected, Not Frustrated
Designed for maximum versatility, the KDL52XBR4 LCD TV 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 -- and it's all that, and more,
packed into one cord. Did you hear me? ONE CORD. HDMI technology
supports High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital
audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction. The KDL52XBR4
includes 3 HDMI inputs. The PC input (D-15 pin) offers easy connection
to your PC, allowing you to use your new high resolution BRAVIA as a
computer monitor. Using your HDMI cable will make the hair-pulling,
face-clawing frustration of setting up electronic equipment a thing of
the past.
Introducing
BRAVIA Theatre Sync Technology.
Theatre Sync reduces the hassle and time consuming job of powering up,
changing the signal routing, and adjusting other functions to the
simple push of one button. All you need to do is to connect Theatre
Sync capable products to each other via one HDMI cable. The rest is
easy. For instance, the One Push Play function requires you to touch
the play button on the remote. Theatre Sync takes over from there.
Really.
DMeX
-- The Future Of Television
DMex compatibility allows the connection and operation of a whole new
category of products that is being developed by Sony (and sold
separately). The first of these products to hit the market is the
DMX-NV1 BRAVIA Internet Video Link module. BRAVIA Internet Video Link,
or BIVL, as it is affectionately called, can stream available Internet
video from select content providers directly to your TV with a
broadband connection without the need for a PC.
