Sony Rear Projection television System
The 3LCD technology of the Sony Grand WEGA rear projections TVs provide a bright, detailed picture, with sharp images and lifelike color reproduction. At the heart of the 3LCD projection system are three 0.73" LCD chips 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.

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. The "High" setting is ideal for movies and music video content. And the "Off" setting works great for sports and news content.

Sony WEGA Engine System
The WEGA Engine system is a core video processing system with an all-digital signal processing path featuring these exclusive Sony video enhancements:

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 "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.

Digital Reality CreationŽ Multifunction Technology
Unlike conventional line doublers, the Sony exclusive DRC Multifunction circuitry replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines, resulting in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD, satellite and digital camcorders.
