Sony rear projection tv news

Sony Electronics today announced its support of Digital Visual Interface (DVI) with high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) by unveiling 13 new Hi-Scan 1080i Sony rear projection tv sets and a prototype of a second-generation high-definition receiver.

The new DVI/HDCP compliant products deliver uncompressed, copy-protected, high definition video content through its digital DVI-HDTV interface. The television sets range in size from a 34-inch 16:9 widescreen flat-screen direct-view model in the FD Trinitron® WEGA® series to 51- to 65-inch rear projection widescreen models.

"We are pleased to be at the forefront of this new secure format, providing a total HDTV solution through our new compliant products," said Tim Alessi, director of marketing for Sony Electronics' Visual Network Products Company. "With cross industry support of the DVI/HDCP interface, we hope it will bring more high-quality, high-definition content that consumers have been waiting for."

DVI/HDCP has garnered cross-industry acceptance and is supported by satellite service providers like DIRECTV, as well as major motion picture studios and other content providers.

Sony's 2002 line-up of DVI/HDCP enabled products include 13 new Hi-Scan 1080i television sets and a next-generation HD receiver.
