CES 2013: Sony anuncia nuevos televisores y contenido 4K



Todo mundo está apostando por los televisores 4K, de hecho este CES pinta para ver infinidad de modelos en los stands de las grandes compañías. Uno de ellas es Sony, quien reveló en su keynote que ofrecerá dos nuevos modelos de televisores: uno de 65 pulgadas (XBR-65X900A) y otro de 55 pulgadas (XBR-55X900A).

En términos de contenido Sony que habrá un sistema de distribución de video 4K en Estados Unidos, donde los usuarios podrán acceder a contenido de Sony. De igual modo se anunció un programa de “remasterización” de películas 4K, algo que Sony llama “la primera experiencia casera 4K”.

Cintas como The Amazing Spiderman, Karate Kid, Battle Los Angeles, Total Recall y The Other Guys llegarán escaladas a 4K (codificadas a 1080p). Hay que dejar en claro que estas películas tienen la etiqueta “Masterizadas en 4K”, sin embargo no son versiones en 4K de las cintas originales.



En el booth de Sony había un demo de Spiderman corriendo escalado. Si bien no se ve horrible, no parece ser un buen pretexto para invertir más de USD $10.000 en un televisor 4K todavía. Solo el tiempo dirá si la apuesta por esta tecnología es la adecuada.

De entrada Sony no compartió precios o disponibilidad de los nuevos modelos de 65 y 55 pulgadas.

Kaz Hirai has promised a "One Sony" that aligns its various capabilities in entertainment and electronics to work better together, and it seems we'll have one of the first examples in its launch of the 84-inch XBR-84X900 LED TV. We spoke to Sony Electronics COO Phil Molyneux about the 4K Ultra HD Video Player that's coming with each purchase of its (MSRP: $24,999.99) beast and why, as he says, it's something "only Sony can do." First, we finally have the confirmed details of this first ever 4K player for the home: it's a hard-disc server, available exclusively on no-additional cost lease to purchasers that's preloaded with 10 full-length feature films (including The Amazing Spider-Man, Total Recall (2012), Taxi Driver, Bridge Over the River Kwai -- see the press release for a full list), a number of short concert / action sports clips from Red Bull, and an Xperia Tablet S packing a special remote control app that's similar to its Movies Unlimited service.

This is the first time home viewers will be able to experience 4K video of this caliber at home, and from the cameras, to its Colorworks digital facility opened in 2009, to the special white glove service charged with periodically updating the hard-disc's content for well-heeled buyers, Sony plans on pushing more soon. Check after the break for more details on how that will happen.

With an entry level price nearly on par with an average new vehicle purchase stepping past HD resolution right now is out of reach for most buyers, however as prices fall in the future we wonder if customers will see the upgrade as worth it. We've seen demos at IFA and CEDIA in the last year of Blu-ray content upscaled for playback and even native 4K footage on Sony's own projector (the VPL-VW1000ES 4K projector introduced in 2011 also has a $25k MSRP -- we're told it's compatible with the 4K player and Sony will be "talking to" owners to see if they'd also like access) and it has impressed us so far. Still, although viewers have warmed to new tech like LED backlighting and thin frames/bezels, recently the addition of 3D as a display feature has had trouble breaking though and pushing the masses to buy. According to Molyneux, even (or perhaps especially) at this high end, convincing people of the quality difference isn't difficult -- we recommend laying your own eyes on it to see if it's worth a midsize sedan.



Thanks to the Sony Pictures vault, it's obvious what he means when he says this is an experience only his company can provide. While there are other 4K Ultra HDTVs arriving this year -- and we expect to see many more at CES in January -- at the moment, this is the only one with a content delivery system in place, to go along with its upscaling chops, and the only studio pushing content at this res so far. Additional movies will need to be loaded either by the aforementioned service, or via BD-R sent by mail, but if you have the resources and need a peek at the future right now, this should more than do the trick. We'll be interested in seeing how (if) Sony can continue to press its advantages in more mass market areas going forward and return some of the high-end cachet to its brand that rivals like Samsung, Apple and LG have eagerly dug into in recent years.

Along with its new 4K TVs and 4K distribution plan, Sony has also announced that it will be releasing a new range of 'Mastered in 4K' Blu-rays despite the fact that the video will still be encoded at 1080p. The company has five movies planned so far — The Amazing Spider-Man, Total Recall (2012), The Karate Kid (2010), Battle: Los Angeles, and The Other Guys — all of which will be sourced from 4K masters. Anyone hoping for actual 4K versions of the films will be sure to be disappointed: it looks like Sony will be simply applying a 'Mastered in 4K' label to the new discs in order to capitalize on the buzz surrounding the ultra high resolution. The company even goes as far to suggest that viewers should upscale the 1080p video to 4K TVs — hardly a great viewing experience.

Still, the company isn't resting on its laurels. The Verge spotted a prototype 4K player — pictured above — during Sony's press event today at CES, and the company has pledged to create a 4K distribution service for people splashing out on the new flagship TV sets. However Sony plans to get 4K into the hands of consumers, it most likely won't be via Blu-ray.

'Mastered in 4K' me suena al nuevo 'Superbit', casualmente también de Sony.

Yo creia que la resolucion 4K seria para pantallas de mas de 70 pulgadas, me imagino que para apreciar esa resolucion o para ver diferencia entre 4K y 1080p en una de 55 se tendra que hacercar a menos de medio metro de la TV jeje..

Si, pero 50" a 5 pies es muy cerca y muy poca gente va a ver una tv de ese tamaño a tan corta distancia porque segun la grafica a mas de 5' ya no se notaria diferencia a esas pulgadas, por cierto aqui esta esa grafica traducida aunque no llega a 4K.. traducida y en centimetros jeje..
