“We are excited to bring IMAX Enhanced content to Europe for the first time through our collaboration with Sony and Rakuten TV”, said Francisco Navarro-Sertich, Senior Vice President of Strategy at IMAX Corporation. “Today’s announcement continues our efforts to usher in a new level of quality in home entertainment by pairing IMAX digitally re-mastered 4K HDR content with IMAX Enhanced Sony BRAVIA TVs so that consumers can experience their favourite content with breathtaking images and immersive sound.”
IMAX Enhanced content on Sony BRAVIA TVs will be available to own in Europe via Rakuten TV streaming service from early September, in UK, Spain, Germany, France and Italy at launch, and more countries in the future.
Sidharth Jayant, Global Product Director of Rakuten TV commented “We are excited to collaborate with IMAX and Sony on this project to level up the home entertainment experience. Rakuten TV is your cinema at home. For this, our commitment is to pioneer the audio-visual technological revolution by adopting latest standards and offering great movies in the highest quality possible by device to millions of customers across Europe.”
IMAX Enhanced content will be available on select BRAVIA TVs, only three 2019 models qualified. These models are the AG9 (4K OLED), ZG9 (8K FALD LCD), and XG95 (4K FALD LCD) series.
A selection of Sony Pictures Entertainment worldwide box office hits such as Venom, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Spider-Man: Far From Home (which includes 45 minutes of IMAX’s exclusive expanded aspect ratio). Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is a studio collaborator of the IMAX Enhanced program.
To qualify and carry the IMAX Enhanced logo, Sony's TVs have met a carefully prescribed set of performance requirements, set by IMAX, DTS engineers and Hollywood's leading technical specialists, to bring the highest-quality, sharpest 4K HDR images and powerful, immersive sound to the home. But these Sony TV reportedly do not support DTS-X.
