CTV-68 2
USB2.0 Side Input
This feature was available in selected 2008 models and allowed the
viewing of JPEG formatted pictures and playback of MP3 audio files. The
media content has been expanded this year to allow playback of MPEG1
and MPEG2 format video content. An optional wireless network adapter
can be inserted to connect to a wireless home network.
HDMI 1.3
This new version of HDMI introduces several new enhancements and
features and the EX-1 chassis supports 3 of the new features.
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC)
A standardized protocol for the control of consumer electronics devices
allows for communication and control via the HDMI cable on products that
have this feature. Any brand of electronic equipment that is CEC compliant
can communicate with another to generate operational commands. The
Bravia Sync feature uses the CEC format to control other Sony devices
in the system.
xvYCC
The previous color bandwidth limitations applied for compatibility with
analog signals are no longer present with digital signals. This allows for
1.8 times more colors.
Deep Color
The previous HDMI specifications limited the RGB sample level to 24-bit.
Deep Color expands this up to 48-bit giving the ability to generate a color
depth of 2.8 trillion levels.
Bravia® Sync
By utilizing the CEC feature of HDMI 1.3, this feature allows the customer
to easily control the various Sony devices within their home entertainment
system provided that all of the other devices have this feature included.
Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE)
By monitoring the overall level of the video signal, the backlights are
dynamically controlled and reduced during low light level scenes to
enhance the contrast ratio.
Interactive Program Guide (IPG)
An interactive guide is included to provide continuously updated program
information at no charge to the customer. The guide (provided by TV
Guide) is part of the XMB graphics feature. Program material is updated
from the local PBS station when the television is off.
Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
An industry standard networking protocol has been developed by leading
manufacturers to allow other devices such as a compatible computer
to communicate with the television via an Ethernet connection to your
home network. This gives the ability to view photos, audio and movie
content directly from your computer via the network. Future plans include
the ability to download software updates for the television via the home
network.
RGB Ambient Sensor
A sensor located on the lower left portion of the front bezel monitors ambient
light levels to adjust the brightness and contrast level of the picture. This
new version is also capable of measuring the color temperature of the
ambient light to adjust the white balance of the displayed picture based
on what type of light source is present in the room.
