When it comes to "seeing and hearing", (or specifically, collecting audio-visual information), our brain processes this information all at once. The artificial intelligences that until now are implemented in the graphics processors of TVs, on the other hand, analyze the information individually. But as of today, Sony has stopped being so limited.
Cognitive Processor XR it is designed to replicate the human perception of audio and video. When we watch television (but not only), the eyes make two different types of movements: the voluntary ones, which are the focus of the subject and the reflective ones, which control the environmental vision all around.
Let's take the example of being at a concert; our eyes focus on the stage, or more precisely on the singer. Everything moves around him: the members of the band, the lights and all the people around us. The voluntary movement focuses on the artist who is singing. But everything else moves and the reflective movements store this data: from the people around you in the foreground who jump, move their arms and sing, with the colors of their clothes, and the smartphone displays lit up that film the event; the movements of the lights on stage and those of the rest of the band playing.
Everything is registered by our brain, even if our attention is focused elsewhere. In the end, all this information calculated simultaneously makes us the complete scene of what we are experiencing at that moment.
The new Sony processor divides the screen into hundreds of areas, with a recognition of each single element and analyzes them in just one second, with cross-calculations in thousands of different elements that make up the image. Just like our brains do.
Bravia XR, un redefinition of the concept of TV
In normal TVs, picture elements are adjusted to the same level; in BRAVIA XR TVs, thanks to cross-analysis, each element is individually adjusted in synergy with all the others, for a natural and realistic result.
BRAVIA XR TVs work like your eyes: they detect the focal point of the scene and enhance every single element, bringing out every detail with a natural sense of depth, as in reality.
With advanced sound processing that mimics how the human ear perceives where sound is coming from, BRAVIA XR TVs transport you to the center of the action.
BRAVIA XR TVs propagate sound horizontally and vertically, offering a true multidimensional experience. Sounds are analyzed and optimized for 5.1.2 channel surround sound performance, for immersive 3D acoustics.
From March 22 there is the possibility to order one of the new models with XR processor, arriving in April. A90J and the Sony MASTER Series. The cuts are those of 55 "and 65" at the moment. The 83 ″ model will arrive later in the year.
In addition, the exclusive BRAVIA CORE service will be installed on all new BRAVIA XR models. Users will have access to a range of Sony Pictures Entertainment titles and the largest IMAX Enhanced collection. Sony's Pure Stream technology allows for quality equivalent to a 4K BluRay with lossless compression (without loss of quality) all via streaming at 80 Mbps. (Netflix travels a maximum of 15Mbps with 4K HDR video).
