Key Technologies
SXRD™1920 x 1080p Full HD Panels SXRD is a 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. It is a 1920 x 1080p panel characterized by
several key benefits -- full HD resolution, smooth film-like image with minimal screen door effects, high response times (2.5ms rise and
fall), high contrast ratios and accurate color rendition.
BRAVIA Engine™Video Processing System The VPL -VW40 BRAVIA® Home Cinema Projector uses Sony's BRAVIA Engine™full
digital video processor for crisp and clear images. Several special picture enhancement technologies are integrated into the processor
to create better gradations with more detail, enhance contrast, and dynamically improve color performance.
-Digital Noise Reduction Circuits: Reduces block noise and mosquito noise by using pixel-level filtering to reproduce a clean and clear
picture. And Motion Vector Noise Reduction reduces just the noise in the video signal for video further reducing unwanted noise and
blur artifacts.
-Digital Contrast Enhancer circuit: Improves contrast by enhancing all areas from dark to bright in parallel with texture control
providing a three dimensional picture.
-Color Reality signal processing enables the expression of all the colors of life in vivid detail for dark and bright scenes. Details in dark
areas of the picture are there, just like they are supposed to be.
Advanced Iris 2 The latest evolution of Sony’s own Advanced Iris function uses algorithms designed to analyze the histogram of
each picture along with nonlinear amplification to dynamically adjust the iris for its optimum opening. The result is a stunningly high
contrast ratio of up to 15,000:1. Images in bright scenes are crisp and clear and black levels in dark scenes are deep and detailed. A
manual adjustment option is also available to fix the iris opening for specific image conditions.
Ultra Quiet Fan An exclusive Sony-designed fan efficiently removes heat at a barely noticeable noise spec of 22dB. Obtrusive fan
noise is virtually eliminated to allow for flexibility in room placement.
ARC - F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens A specially developed crisp focus lens was developed to take full advantage of the full
1920 x 1080 HD resolution that theSXRD panel device offers. It offers superior resolution and focus.
RCP (Real Color Processing) Real Color Processing allows the user to target specific colors on the picture and fine adjust their
color and hue without changing the overall picture's color and hue. For instance, the color of a strawberry can be fine adjusted without
impacting the skin tones. Or the blue in a sky can be adjusted without affecting the color of water. And green grass can be adjusted
without influencing the other colors in the picture.
