New Sony TV Chips
WSJ.com - New Sony TV Chips Give Viewers Control; Can 'Pan and Scan'
TOKYO -- New technology unveiled yesterday by Sony Corp. lets television viewers manipulate the images broadcast to their screens, allowing them to zoom into and pan around the picture as well as sharpen the resolution..snip..Still in the experimental stage are other features that let viewers zoom in on bits of a TV broadcast -- such as a pitcher's face in a baseball game -- as if they were using binoculars. Sony's new chip can digitally fill in details of the picture to keep the image sharp, and lets users pan that enlarged view, as if they were controlling the video themselves.
