S-AIR 
 
(Sony Audio Interactive Radio 
frequency)
Recent times have seen the rapid spread of 
DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other 
high quality media.
To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high 
quality media are transmitted with no 
deterioration, Sony has developed a 
technology called “S-AIR” for the radio 
transmission of digital audio signals with no 
compression, and has incorporated this 
technology into the EZW-RT10/EZW-T100.
This technology transfers digital audio signals 
with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band 
range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and 
Medical band), such as wireless LANs and 
Bluetooth applications.
S-Master
S-Master is an all-digital amplifier technology 
developed by Sony, which effectively 
minimizes the occurrence of sound 
fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb 
dialog clarity and faithful reproduction of the 
original sound. The compact amplifier section 
supports a higher power efficiency and 
improved thermal performance.
Sampling frequency
To convert analog audio to digital, analog data 
should be quantified. This process is called 
sampling, and the number of times per second 
the analog data is quantified is called the 
sampling frequency. A standard music CD 
stores data quantified at 44,100 times per 
second, which is expressed as a sampling 
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a 
higher sampling frequency means better sound 
quality.
TSP (Time Stretched Pulse)
A TSP signal is a highly precise measuring 
signal that utilizes impulse energy, measuring 
a wide band, from low to high, in a short 
period.
The amount of energy used to measure signals 
is important to ensure measurement accuracy 
in a normal indoor environment. Using TSP 
signals makes it possible to measure signals 
effectively.
x.v.Colour
“x.v.Colour” enables the more faithful 
reproduction of various colours such as the 
brilliant colours of flowers and the turquoise 
blue of the southern ocean.
“x.v.Colour” is a promotion name given to the 
products that have the capability to realize a 
wide colour space based on the xvYCC 
specifications and is a trademark of Sony 
Corporation.
xvYCC is an international standard of the 
technical specifications of the extended-gamut 
colour space for video signals. The colour 
gamut of xvYCC is wider than the one of 
sRGB that is used with the current television 
system.
