What are BRAVIA ENGINE PRO and BRAVIA ENGINE EX?
“BRAVIA ENGINE EX”, as far as I can tell, is BRAVIA ENGINE + a lesser version of the Sony DRC-MF chip. This chip adds detail enhancement, deinterlacing and scaling functions to the existing lineup of features. Only the “PRO” version has the top-end DRC-MF chip, so you might find that these enhanced features are available only for 480i and 576i resolutions, for example. “BRAVIA ENGINE PRO” appears to be BRAVIA ENGINE + the top-end version of the DRC-MF chip, so a full array of tweaks will be available for HD resolutions too. Whether or not this is a good thing, though, is debatable…
