Sony’s Motionflow 200Hz is a brand new image processing technology here to revolutionise next-gen TV by smoothing out pictures with a refresh rate that’s through the roof, and ditching juddery video altogether.
We’ve shown you how Motionflow 200Hz works already, but if you want to know how you’ll be able to put it to use on your peepers, check out all the ways Motionflow 200Hz adds to the HDTV experience right here.
Motionflow 200Hz works with any source
Motionflow 200Hz isn’t choosy when it comes to boosting image quality. Sony’s Bravia Z4500, is the first TV with Motionflow 200Hz built in, and will take any source you like, from your Blu-ray player to Freeview box or games console, and iron out images with smooth 200Hz reproduction.
Immerse yourself in action films
Because Motionflow 200Hz increases the refresh rate, fast moving action movies seem so lifelike you’ll almost be able to feel the sweat dripping off John McClane’s vest, and catch the ripple of every explosion tearing across the screen.
Motionflow 200Hz makes video quality crisp
Motionflow 200Hz not only quadruples the number of images shown per second, but keeps them just as crisp. That’s down to Image Blur Reduction, which takes an original frame and sharpens the edges before squeezing in the new shots created by a clever algorithm.
It’ll make you a gaming god
Because Motionflow 200Hz smooths out any video source, you can hook up your console to experience HD gaming like you’ve never seen before. Now when you play a PlayStation 3 game you’ll see visuals that’re crisp, clear and updated quicker than ever, thanks to blisteringly quick Motionflow 200Hz technology.
Sport gets smooth
Sports fans will be glued to the sofa with Motionflow 200Hz inside their TV. Traditionally, LCD TVs blur fast moving sports, but Motionflow 200Hz means you’ll be able to shout “Four!” while the golf ball is high above the green, or flinch at every fist landed in a flurry of boxing punches. With Motionflow 200Hz, you’ll see it all.
It makes Blu-ray even better
You’ll need Blu-ray to enjoy HD movies in the home, but Motionflow 200Hz makes 1080p technology go the extra mile. With Motionflow 200Hz, all those pixels are smoothed out and flow across the TV seamlessly. The only character you’ll catch jerking across the screen is Wall-E.
Breaking news text won’t judder
News channel addict? Sometimes it feels like there’s so much information scrolling across the screen, you can’t take it all in. Not with Motionflow 200Hz though: the zippy refresh rate will smooth out news ticker text so you’ll be actually be able to catch the headlines as they fly by.
Motionflow does slow-mo like no other
Whether you’re watching a replay of a record breaking Usain Bolt dash, or Neo dodging bullets with his supple spine in The Matrix, Motionflow 200Hz intelligently pieces together the images before splicing in new ones in between. The result? Incredibly smooth slow motion movement in every situation.
Motionflow breathes new life into your old library
Is your DVD collection gathering dust? Give it the kiss of life with Motionflow 200Hz: because it works with any source, it’ll polish up those blurry DVD images and shovel in extra frames, creating incredible image quality you’ll never have seen before from your discs.
Improve your home movies
The first TV to pack Motionflow 200Hz is Sony’s Bravia Z4500, and in amongst all the cutting edge features you’ll find HDMI ports to plug your camcorder in and playback what you’ve shot, without any flicker or judder. And because the Z4500 is DNLA friendly, you can get the same effect with video stored on one of Sony’s VAIO laptops too, just by hooking up the TV to a home network.
