Sony announces Bravia XR TVs with cognitive processor that mimics the human brain

Sony has announced a new range of Bravia XR TVs which use a new cognitive technology that goes beyond Artificial Intelligence to replicate the way humans see and hear.

The new Bravia XR range includes the Master Series Z9J 8K LED and A90J OLED and the X95J and X90J 4K LED TVs.

The new Sony TVs also include 4K 120fps, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) which makes them an attractive choice for next-generation gamers.

The new Bravia XR line-up will be powered by the Cognitive Processor XR – the new brains of the Bravia XR range – which uses a completely new processing method to optimise the picture quality in real time.

When we see objects, we tend to focus on certain points.

The new Cognitive Processor XR, powered by cognitive intelligence, knows where those focal points are by dividing the screen in various zones and detecting the focal point in the image.

Regular AI can only detect and analyse picture elements like colour, contrast and detail but the new Sony processor can cross analyse an array of elements at the same time like the human brain.

This method ensures each element is adjusted to its best version in conjunction with other objects so viewers see a picture that’s synchronised and life-like.

The Cognitive Processor XR also looks after the by analysing the sound position in the signal and output to match it precisely on the screen.

It can also upconvert any sound to 3D surround sound for even greater realism.

“Sony’s key objective is to offer customers an incredibly immersive viewing experience by utilising evolving technologies and premium large screens to perfectly deliver the creator’s true intent,” said Aki Hosoda, Head of TV, Sony ANZ.

“The new BRAVIA XR TVs take big screen home entertainment to new heights with the introduction of the most advanced processing technology we have ever created.”

Key BRAVIA XR lineup highlights:

– Google TV: This lineup also introduces Google TV, a brand-new entertainment experience that brings together movies, shows, live TV and more from apps and subscriptions and organizes them just for you. Find something to watch with personalised recommendations.

– HDMI 2.1 compatibility: All BRAVIA XR TVs will feature HDMI 2.1 compatibility, including 4K 120fps, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and e-ARC, supporting higher resolutions and frame rates ideal for next-generation gaming.

– Sound-from-Picture Reality: In addition to best-in-class picture quality, the new Cognitive Processor XR also offers incredible sound with Sound-from-Picture Reality, which aligns the position of the sound with the images on the screen to offer a uniquely lifelike experience.

– Hands-Free Voice Function: Sony’s voice-activated TVs work alongside Google Assistant to provide a smarter viewing experience[i]. Ask the Assistant to search for the latest blockbuster or stream shows. Have it dim the lights by connecting smart home devices. Manage tasks and see your calendar, or ask it questions and see the answers on your TV.

– Smart Speaker compatibility: With Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa enabled devices, you can cast and control videos from YouTube with Google Nest speakers[ii]  or change the channel or volume with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa enabled devices.

– Delivering the creator’s intent: The new models will continue to deliver the creator’s intent with Netflix Calibrated Mode, offering studio-quality Netflix content.
