SONY ALPHA DSLR-A900

 Sales of camera SONY ALPHA DSLR-A900 has already begun.In the market of digital SLR cameras has a powerful player on the move to take a place in the top three with a full range of cameras – from inexpensive, entry-level A200 and A900 polnokadrovoy Class High-End;almost completely covered a range of high quality lenses and a great set of accessories.

One of the key benefits of the new camera – 24.6-MP Exmor CMOS sensor with pixel size of 5.94 microns (roughly comparable to the 5.49 micron 12,24-IP matrix A700), which permits more than twice the resolution of the predecessor A700 and more than a similar class models of competitors. Exmor image processing system has built-in matrix “column” A / D, a relatively low noise is achieved by obtaining a digital signal in each cell, as well as the consistent double noise reduction before and after analog-digital conversion.

The next phase – processing Bionz image processors in the two versions specifically for the A900.Processor doubled compared with the A700 for the processing of large data sets with 24.6-MP matrix, the noise reduction is also performed on the stage of working with RAW (RAW NR), in the beginning of image processing.

The model A900 supports high sensitivity up to ISO6400 (in expanded range ISO) with the function of noise. The ultimate goal – a realistic high-quality transmission of colors and shades with the transitions 24.6-MP matrix.The use of two processors at once Bionz, in turn, has resulted in speed shooting up to 5 frames per second at full 24.6-MP resolution, while the buffer device is designed for more than 100 images in the JPEG Fine.
It is a new feature first debuted in the A900 – this is an opportunity to preview the Intelligent Preview to display on the LCD monitor, the results of adjusting the white balance, dynamic range optimizer DRO and exposure, without recording the image.To display the preview images with histograms, just click on the repeater diaphragm, the user can set new values and not “fluff” with the settings when shooting complex compositions.

Many amateur photographer got to appreciate the built-in camera, all the dynamic range optimizer Alpha – Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO).In cell A900 DRO realized improved algorithm for more accurate analysis and evaluation stage of correction, with a smooth correction of settings that allow for a more complete range of tone transitions, even with very difficult lighting conditions.

The camera used a big 3-inch LCD Xtra Fine LCD with high resolution (921 thousand pixels), familiar to owners A700 – a sharp and contrast even in bright light and outdoors.A wide range of thumbnails for easy selecting the best shots, as well as the possibility of finding a full RGB-histogram and information on camera settings.By clicking Fn display switches to the navigation Quick Navi, that allows you to quickly adjust the settings, no job.

The new camera supports all AF lenses Sony, Minolta and Konica Minolta, but in the case of the APS-C lenses (with an index DT) image is automatically cropped to the APS-C size 12 lm, and the manufacturer does not guarantee the correct working of Multi Metering for optical DT . Please keep in mind.

 Series Info LITHIUM Battery NP-FM500H, now used in all cells Alpha, making up to 880 images (measurement standard CIPA), showing the% remaining charge. Built-in flash in the model A900 is not, so this result can be obtained with high probability.

By analogy with the recent series of cameras, A900 is equipped with HDMI output for viewing images on the screen, HD Ready, and supports the HD PhotoTV to view images in Full HD format compatible TVs BRAVIA. HDMI port also provides the ability to view images with a resolution of HD on any compatible TV.

The key concept, originally built in the development of Sony A900, is to transfer the image closest to what the human eye sees, that is, to achieve maximum transfer of accurate and realistic picture.

Toshiba Regza ZX8000

 Japanese company Toshiba officially announced the release of a whole galaxy of new widescreen LCD TVs of the Regza family with a diagonal screen from 37 to 55 inches. New items grouped in three series: ZX8000, ZH8000 and Z8000.The first series is represented by two models with a diagonal of 55 and 46 inches: 55ZX8000 and 46ZX8000. In a series of ZH8000 include modifications 55ZH8000 and 47ZH8000 screen 55 and 47 inches. In turn, the Z8000 has collected a series of three models with a diagonal 47, 42 and 37 inches: 47Z8000, 42Z8000 and 37Z8000.

New TVs equipped with LCD panels with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and the ratio 16:9. The manufacturer calls them “Full-HD Clear Panel“, hinting, perhaps, to belong to the category of Full HD and the glossy cover. Covers all the television sets manufactured by technology IPS, which guarantee excellent color reproduction and wide viewing angles up to 178 ˚ for vertical and horizontal plane. It should be noted that the two models, a senior ZX8000 series are equipped with LED  backlight. This will reduce energy consumption, improve color and increase the coverage of a dynamic contrast ratio up to an incredible value  2000 000 : 1. With respect to devices of a series of ZH8000 and Z8000, they can not boast of such a contrast because of the traditional lighting equipment for fluorescent lamps (CCFL), the main advantage of which is the relative cheapness.

Other features of the new flat panel TVs Toshiba Regza would provide an opportunity to receive the digital signal processing and analog broadcasts, 14-bit video processing, human-scan double-frequency function “W Scan Double Speed“,embedded audio speakers with power of 10 W, a rich set of inputs and outputs,vklyuchayushtiy интерфейсы HDMI 1.3a, USB and i.Link (FireWire). Through networking opportunities and support for DLNA protocol all the machines are able to retrieve multimedia data from the Internet or transmit them to the home computer.Toshiba engineers also provided for some opportunity to record TV programs on an embedded hard drive. Television in a series of ZH8000 equipped with 300-GB hard drive, which, according to the developers, can seat up to 29 hours of good quality.

The manufacturer plans to begin selling the new LCD TVs in the middle of the current quarter. The first buyers will be people of Japan. As expected, older 55-inch model of the ZX8000 series with LED backlighting will be sold on the Japanese market at a price of just under $ 6000.Youngest model in the series of Z8000 with a diagonal screen 37 inches will be assessed at about $ 2600.

SONY BRAVIA VPL-HW10

 Cheers! Done! Now that the film with high resolution can be viewed at home on a large, as in the theater, the screen does not need to spread the cost of the car. And the most affordable HD-video projector from Sony is not the budget offers a picture

 New video projector Sony Bravia VPL-HW10 closes the line model with a resolution of Full HD. However, the relative availability of virtually no impact on its consumer properties.Associate member of the famous family retained all heirloom – it blended together carefully thought-out ergonomics and cutting edge technical solutions. The heart of the traditional apparatus for Sony was the set of matrices SXRD.This technology is to some extent absorbed merits of competing methods, DLP and LCD, but free of their weaknesses.As a mikrozerkalnogo chip, the matrix SXRD is based on the reflection of incident light from the lamp, but millions of managed mikrozerkal replaced by a thin layer of liquid crystals change their orientation under the influence of an electric field.Along with the provision of crystals and the changes reflect the ability of the matrix. A color image of a «flashlight» creates the most natural way to the human eye – by mixing three components: red, green and blue.Accordingly, in a block of three matrix SXRD, each of which is responsible for its color.

It is equally important feature of any video projector are optical system parameters that determine the use of a vehicle in a particular room and the convenience of installation. And in that sense, Sony Bravia VPL-HW10 no way inferior to more expensive models.The use of lenses ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) lens in the design helps to achieve an ideal focus for the whole area of the frame.The optical system allows to shift the image both vertically and horizontally, which greatly simplifies the choice of the site of the projector, and it facilitates the fine tuning.Sam has a small lens focal length, resulting in Sony Bravia VPL-HW10 can safely operate at a very modest area of the halls.Compared with older models, the manufacturer saved on the servo, regulatory focus, zoom and shift the image, but with the installation of a stationary apparatus such simplification is not critical.

Another important plus BRAVIA VPL-HW10 – is that it includes BRAVIA ENGINE 2 – the image processor, which are installed in most of these devices, the company Sony.

 VPL-HW10 supports xvColour and Deep Colour and Real Colour Processing function allows you to adjust the intensity of one color, without changing the whole picture. There is also support’24p True Cinema ‘to view the movies, and the HDMI interface (2 ports with CEC).

The system increases the dynamic contrast Advanced Iris 2 works like the human eye by automatically reducing or increasing the flow of light, depending on the brightness of the frame. The result is the contrast of 30000:1.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the VPL-HW10 – a very quiet projector, and produces a noise of only 22 dB.

Philips Aurea 42PFL9903

 The debut of the new LCD TVs Aurea Philips 42PFL9903 elicited conflicting views – from admiration to disgust, but no one could leave.

A difficult array of LEDs on the front panel to create a colorful glowing halo around the image at the same time as it was strange, and unique, making this product a necessary background for each element of self-respecting Teleman,as well as entrenching its position for an outstanding technological product.

 Moreover, the original design of the TV Philips is not just looks bizarre and fantastic. Effect «glowing panel» in fact, improve the already impressive image quality.

From our point of view of the Philips Aurea 42PFL9903 have only two problems: its relatively high price and the fact that he was a television equivalent of «Marmayt», where people pulled like moths to a flame of fire, or throw away, as if it was a TV – antichrist.

Fortunately, the second generation of televisions Aurea Philips has tried to solve both problems. Its price, at least, less than the price of its predecessor.New design developed for the Philips 42PFL9903 – really wonderful improvement in comparison with the original design of Aurea, that arouses people more positive than negative emotions.

First, the front LED panel TV look more smooth and relaxed through the use of a single mirror surface, which is evenly divided as to the front frame and the screen.Secondly, now the lcd TV has an advantage – an elegant translucent effect «linen cloths» around its edges, which is also present in other model series.

Moreover, Philips has muted effect of 1.5 cm «strip», which bypass the image directly in front of a glowing effect on the appearance of the panel.This inner border was too black for the first Aurea TV, and thus significantly differentiated image, and the alleged «lit» front panel. The new Aurea, the inner border nearly white, and therefore does not create such a sharp contrast.

Unbelievable aesthetic aura Aurea Mark II creates even more impressed when you turn the LCD TV.Although the new inner white edging create less discomfort when you turn, become instantly clear that the new effect «illuminated» cover much more complex than that of his predecessor, for two reasons.

We will return to the second reason, later, the first was that the new LED panel, it was more LEDs than the original Aurea – 150 instead of 128.This enables a new LED panel to radiate localized previously barely noticeable difference in color compared to the previous version of the TV. The most striking thing is how clear it was in tsvetorazdelenie «Light».

If the way to respond to the color images in the first LED panel TV Aurea was blinding, the new model, it became so clear, that looks rather superhuman.The process of determining the clarity of color LED panel fitted to color images on the screen and makes the effect of a glowing panel Aurea II a more natural and attractive.

Describing how infinitely precise and clear is the effect of a new illuminated panels, comes to mind an old saying «the picture may say a thousand words».In fact, if I had to outline here the exact location of every color and intensity of color move to reflect the panel to copy the normal television picture, I would have had to use a thousand words.

In addition, as a result of those words might have sounded rather dry and boring, and the effect of a glowing panel is far from the notions of dryness and skuchnosti.This way all I can say is look at the pictures in this review and try to imagine unimaginable shown effect so if it comes directly to you: constant change of color panels, reacting to a picture on your TV.And even better, try to see the work of Aurea II with his own eyes. But be careful, seeing at least once luminous frame in place, it is unlikely that you’ll have to live with those dull and boring television that you have today.

You may remember that I talked about the two reasons that the new technology is a glowing panel, which was used Aurea II is better than that used in the first Aurea.A second reason – is that new technological approach in TV Philips c Aurea II creates a much better array of color consistency matrix.

In other words, Philips has improved color reproduction LED panel to a level where it can produce shades of clearly relevant to the content of an image on your TV.This probably does not sound very impressive then, but believe me, in fact, this technology creates a stunning effect, allowing the panel to recreate as close as possible to match the image than the one that was the case with the first Aurea.

It should be added that the LCD TV 42PFL9903 has a light, as from the rear, and with the outside of the panel, which gives the possibility of combining immersive colored glow – dubbed «sensorialny halo» – to break the wall of your TV.This means that ideally you will be able to put a TV in front of a white wall or even hang it on a white wall so as to evaluate all possibilities.But if your house is not possible, then at least you can enjoy the outside of the illumination and front panel – this is something that has not been in standard TVs, Philips Ambilight, where colored light emanate only from the back of the TV.

Found that the LED panel / Multicolor spectral system Philips 42PFL9903 better than in previous models of Aurea, a pleasure to make sure that the new TV has an impressive set of other properties.For example, how to connect lcd television: four HDMI, DLNA-certified connector Ethernet, through which you can access MP3 files, slide show files with the extension.alb, JPEG, and MPEG1 / 2 on your PC and home network, plus a USB connector for playback of the same kinds of multimedia files from USB storage devices.

The new TV has a resolution of Philips 42PFL9903 Full HD, uses the Wide Colour Gamut (a wide range of colors), lighting system processor image Perfect Pixel Engine HD, which really allows you to create unimaginable Aurea television picture quality.

Philips TV has a high level of detail for the signals of both standard and high definition. Images obtained are very bright. Dynamic scenes are displayed beautifully thanks to 100Hz Natural Motion, color, and luxurious living.Plus, color saturation significantly enhanced due to the overall effect of multi-spectrum / glowing panel.

 This is not the only positive point, which brought a shining front panel of the image quality on your TV 42PFL9903D.Due to effects of the movement of light color on the perimeter of the front panel, which provides charuyuschee reinforce the impression of depth color black on your TV, which in turn makes the image more contrast than it would have been otherwise.

To some extent – it’s just an optical illusion. In fact, the level of black main panel 42PFL9903 only indirectly, is more profound. But in each there is a trick illusion!

When it comes to Perfect Pixel Engine, one should pay attention to what is realistic to spoil the image, if you are not careful with a lot of settings, the images in the TV menu.For example, if you leave the HD Natural Motion is too high, it can create a vibrating rumble, and even, accidentally, the effect of three balls instead of one, while watching sports programs.As a matter of fact, you should install a low level of HD Natural Motion for the majority of films and TV programs, and may disable it at all while watching sports programs.

Normal mode noise can make the image a bit muted, especially when viewing HD.But if you’ll have to look in the onscreen menu philips 42PFL9903 to try to solve potential problems more often than conventional TVs, it will still reward you excellent image and, in addition,will provide fascinating impression system LED panel.

 LCD TV 42PFL9903 sound really good, because of the amazing sound quality neiskazhayuschego range of speakers – and that you are not in small quantities at nayavnosti two subwoofers in the rear of the TV.

It is safe to say that some will shudder in horror of the whole concept of Aurea.
 But no one can deny the stunning quality of the audio-visual transmission lcd TV Philips 42PFL9903.Technology Aurea much diversity in the perception of the TV completely ordinary way, even if unique technology costs a lot of money.

eMagin Z800 3D Visor

If you’re a real gamer, uses the most unusual keyboards, mouse, joysticks and consoles to create the most realistic sensations obtained during the game, you probably have at least a cursory understanding of the 3D stereo glasses, and helmets virtual realitythat enable radically change the understanding of thethat is a real 3D game.

 In general, the virtual reality industry is relatively young, helmets first appeared about 10 years ago.At that time, the notion of virtual reality helmets best described by the market solutions that have been made in the shape of this helmet weighing several kilograms, and resembles a helmet «Luke Skywalker».The quality and ability of helmets the first generation, in those times were simply fantastic, but very high price made virtual reality available only elected. The others remained only envy, and in dreams represent how cool to play Doom 2 in the helmet.

But it was at the very beginning. As a consequence, many manufacturers have submitted their own realization of the effect of virtual reality.Thus, the market appeared inexpensive glasses, glasses which have an active LCD shutter opens with a high frequency, and in sequence, allowing you to create a sense of volume, when the plane of the screen ceases to be a barrier between the user and the virtual game space.Now, the objects can «go» outside the monitor, creating the most unusual effects and unpredictable user reactions. However, such points can only create an effect of the stereo image, but the immersion in virtual reality to get through them is very difficult.In this case, come to the aid of different helmets, which have recently become very similar to the glasses, but because of the presence of their own monitors, and a number of additional devices, we call them helmets.A long time on the market present a model of helmets with built monitors that were completed on technology LCOS (some sort of LCD display panels), which until recently were considered the most advanced in terms of quality,and in terms of the depth of the effect of immersion in virtual reality.Change the situation was relatively recently, when a small company eMagin, – a leader in the manufacture of OLED displays, presented her release a virtual reality helmet, which in many ways as clearly superior to other models presented in the market.
Helmet eMagin Z800 3D Visor is very similar to many other models, but this is just a first impression. In fact, the design of eMagin Z800 3D Visor has many unique features.

 OLED technology has become actively used in consumer devices are relatively recent.Unlike LCD screens, where a bright white light illumination, passing through the gates, and active matrix color filters to generate a picture in OLED technology, each pixel is composed of three microscopic size organic light-emitting diodes, emit light,thus significantly improve image quality,provide the appropriate level of brightness and contrast.In addition, these displays have a sufficiently high response times and resolution (800×600), the same as in the best models of helmets with the active matrix.

The optical design of each monitor provides a unique effect of «presence in cinema» in front of a large screen diagonal of which is 105 inches at a distance of 3.5 meters, which is especially important when watching video, especially in the stereo edition, which creates a real sense of presence in IMAX.

 Incidentally, another unique feature eMagin Z800 3D Visor, the possibility of working in 2D mode, including mode «desktop».In doing so, the quality and clarity of the image remains on the top.

 Understand the characteristics of mikrodispleev, you can begin to consider the overall design of eMagin Z800 3D Visor, which, as we said above, here a lot.

Let’s begin with one of the most important features of a virtual reality helmet, – fixation stiffness and comfort for the user.The point is that during the active game, loose helmet can move on its initial position, which causes change of the optical axes, and consequently the destruction of the stereo image.To solve this problem, the developers of eMagin Z800 3D Visor, a number of interesting design solutions that combine optimal weight of the assembly (total 230 grams), a set of rigid and flexible mountings, as well as an opportunity to adjust the situation mikrodispleev,including the distance between the optical axis,that achieves the highest precision on virtually any user.

 To ensure the most natural behavior of the player in the proposed conditions, the helmet eMagin Z800 3D Visor is equipped with so-called trackers, allowing the device to determine the position of the player in space.With the help of the function mouselook, which is used in modern games for the panoramic view of space. In other words, during the game it is enough to turn heads in the side and you can see what is happening right and left of you.As a result, management of the game becomes more natural and intuitive. In addition, using the tracker, you can manage the position of the cursor on the desktop, which is important for people with disabilities.

And, last, feature, about which we would like to mention – the built-in microphone and headphones, which will create the most complete effect of the presence, but in our view, to the greatest effect, it is better to use additional headsets that support the standard 5.1.

For people, for the first time confronted with a virtual reality helmet, it might be interesting to know how difficult it is to connect and configure it. As a matter of fact it is not complicated, and the connection takes only minutes, including time to install the software.

So, in addition to the helmet in the language has a controller that connects to the VGA output video card. Normal monitor connects to the VGA output of the controller. In addition, you will need to connect the controller to the USB port on your computer. This is necessary for feeding and management of the helmet.Additionally, you can use the audio jacks for headphones and built-working microphone.

 Describe the feeling of using a virtual reality helmet eMagin Z800 3D Visor is very difficult.Those of you who are first confronted with this technology will have a very rich bouquet of positive emotions and a sense of deep immersion in the game situation, then, play 3D games on a standard monitor, you will not be able to.For this category of users, we would like to make several recommendations for the safe, in terms of health, the use of helmets eMagin Z800 3D Visor.In particular, the manual is recommended to use the glasses no more than an hour, after which it is necessary to make a 10-15 minute break.However, we recommend to reduce the active time to 30 minutes with 10 minute intervals, or adjust the time of active game session to the most comfortable level for you, most importantly, remember that if you do not feel tired eyes, it does not mean that you can continue to play.

Those who have already used the goggles and helmets previous generation would certainly appreciate not only the possibility of new OLED displays, which have made the picture more vivid and lively, but also a number of constructive solutions, such as light weight, ease of mounting,flexibility to change the position mikrodispleev, and, of course, an integrated tracker, which is, in our opinion,necessary to create the most complete sense of immersion in virtual reality.

 The combination of the above features, allowing take eMagin Z800 3D Visor helmet first, created in full accordance with the requirements of the modern user.It seems that by creating this product, the developers decided to radically change the market for virtual reality, offering new levels of quality and opportunities for quite moderate money. Incidentally, with regard to price, the helmet eMagin Z800 3D Visor is worth $ 1349.
