Features
Up to 3,400-lumen laser light source³
Immerse yourself in the action with brighter, bolder entertainment. Engineered with our newly developed Native 4K SXRD™ (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) panel and Wide Dynamic Range Optics.
XR Dynamic Range Tone Mapping
When watching a movie, peak brightness changes frame by frame.
XR Dynamic Tone Mapping analyzes peak brightness frame by frame, and deliver
optimal Tone Mapping, bringing images which are rich gradation, high
brightness and brilliant colors.
It also converts SDR to HDR equivalent contrast and colors.
XR Deep Black
In addition to XR Dynamic Tone Mapping, XR Deep Black control laser dimming in dark scenes powerfully, bringing deeper blacks while maintaining tone and color expression.
XR Clear Image
XR Clear Image analyzes individual object frame-by-frame and express textures close to reality down to the finest detail while minimizing noise.
Superior Clarity for individual objects
By cross-analyzing, optimal super-resolution processing is applied to each objects in scene, and expresses textures in detail so that you can feel it real.
Everything upscaled to 4K quality¹
Whatever the content or source, images are upscaled close to 4K.1 It accesses a vast database to intelligently recreate lost texture and detail.
Beautiful images without noise
Noise is minimized through zone division and dynamic frame analysis.
XR Processor for projector
XR Processor for projector optimizes our acclaimed BRAVIA TV video processing for projection. The incredible power of this video engine enables advanced data processing, with real-time enhancement of each on-screen object. The result is high dynamic range imagery with texture, color, contrast and realism never before available to home cinema.
Cross-Analyzes by XR Processor for projector
Rather than processing various elements such as color, definition, and contrast individually, it analyzes them cross-sectionally to provide more natural-looking images without artificial impressions.
Depth Mapping by XR Processor for projector
The BRAVIA Projector 9 utilizes Human Cognitive technology to enhance depth and texture for immersive experiences. Foreground depth is enhanced and the background adjusted so the entire image looks more real and natural.
Focal Point Recognition by XR Processor for projector
The focal point is where you tend to focus in a picture, where your eyes are naturally drawn to within the scene. It recognizes that focal point and enhance that part of the image.
XR Triluminos Pro
Enjoy spectacular brightness and stunning realism, thanks to new Wide Dynamic Range Optics that achieve a 95% DCI-P3 wide color gamut.
Live Color Enhancer
With the newly developed Live Color Enhancer, you’ll enjoy lifelike skin tones and vivid images for all your entertainment. The Live Color Enhancer selectively expands the color gamut, for vivid HDR images without unnatural oversaturation.
