A Deep Dive into Sony's X1 vs. Cognitive Processor XR
A Generational Leap
From the rule-based AI of the X1 series, introduced in 2015, to the human-like perception of the Cognitive Processor XR in 2021, Sony redefined what's possible in a television. This infographic explores that journey.
The Architect: X1 Processor
The X1 series laid the groundwork for Sony's 4K and HDR dominance, using powerful algorithms and databases to enhance each element of the picture individually.
- 🔎4K X-Reality PRO Upscaling: Sharpens and refines images to near 4K clarity using vast image databases.
- 🧊Object-based HDR Remaster: Enhances contrast and color for individual objects on screen, adding depth.
- 📚Dual Database Processing: Uses two databases for superior upscaling and noise reduction simultaneously.
The Cognition Engine: XR Processor
The XR processor marked a paradigm shift, mimicking the human brain to cross-analyze picture and sound elements in unison for a holistic, immersive experience.
- 🧠Cognitive Intelligence: Cross-analyzes elements holistically, understanding how we perceive the world.
- 🎯Focal Point Recognition: Identifies and enhances what you would naturally focus on in a scene, boosting realism.
- 🔊Integrated Audio-Visual: Synchronizes sound with on-screen action for a cohesive and immersive experience.
