The D-ILA device is the core component of projectors, crucial for projecting stunning images. Continuous advancements have led to the third-generation 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device, which offers improved liquid crystal alignment control and enhanced pixel flatness, resulting in a native contrast ratio that is 1.5 times higher than that of the Gen2 device. Furthermore, enhancements in the manufacturing process have improved screen uniformity and overall image quality. (*The DLA-NZ800 and DLA-RS3200 models have a 1.25 times improvement.)
The new D-ILA projector features the industry’s highest native contrast thanks to the Gen3 0.69-inch 4K D-ILA device and wire-grid optical engine. Combined with dynamic laser light control, which analyzes incoming video signals to automatically adjust the laser light output, it can achieve a dynamic contrast ratio of ∞:1 (infinity to 1) in scenes of total darkness by completely shutting off the light source. This results in exceptionally realistic images that closely mimic human vision. Additionally, the new algorithm allows for more precise laser control, catering to user preferences.
Another crucial aspect of projectors is their light source. The DLA-NZ series utilizes JVC’s proprietary “BLU-Escent Laser” to deliver outstanding peak brightness, with the DLA-NZ900 reaching 3,300 lumens and the DLA-NZ800 achieving 2,700 lumens, both with a lifespan of 20,000 hours. Compared to the first-generation laser projector*, these models offer a 1.9-fold improvement in brightness per effective wattage, significantly enhancing power efficiency and contributing to energy savings.
The BLU-Escent Laser allows for precise luminance adjustments according to the environment and user preference using the Light Source Control via slider adjustment. It offers 101 luminance control steps (ranging from 0 to 100) to finely tune the brightness, ensuring it matches the desired luminance for the environment and screen.
These D-ILA models support a variety of inputs, including full 48Gbps 8K60p. By incorporating LSIs developed with cutting-edge technology, they can instantly process and accurately display four times the information from input to the D-ILA device, ensuring consistently stable and high-quality 8K images. Additionally, using 4K120p input with Low Latency Mode enhances the response to rapid player actions, making it ideal for displaying high frame-rate gaming content on large screens.
JVC’s proprietary 8K/e-shiftX technology, which combines “e-shift technology” (a high-resolution display technique that doubles the resolution by shifting pixels 0.5 pixels in four directions: up, down, left, and right) with “0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA devices,” has significantly advanced to its second generation. The latest version includes JVC's new 8K scaling engine, which dramatically enhances the projector’s sharpness and detail across a wide range of content, including 8K (8192 x 4320 pixels) sources.
The high-end DLA-NZ900 features an 18-element, 16-group all-glass lens with a full aluminum lens barrel. To ensure high-resolution 8K images reach every corner of the screen, the projector includes five ED lenses that are calibrated for differences in the R/G/B refractive index. This reduces chromatic aberration and color fringing, even when using lens shift, providing precise reproduction of 4K or 8K resolution projections.
For reproducing the rich video details of HDR content, including extended brightness range, BT.2020 wide color gamut, and 10-bit gradation, rely on the new D-ILA projectors. Both models support all HDR formats, including HDR10 for Blu-ray and streaming, HLG for broadcasting, and HDR10+ with dynamic metadata compatibility. Enhancements in brightness and contrast have enabled these projectors to achieve a wider dynamic range, providing users with an immersive experience featuring highly realistic HDR images.
DML (Max Display Mastering Luminance) metadata, which represents the nit level of the professional monitor used to grade the movie to the director's standards, is used to set the dynamic range of the title for improved HDR tone mapping. On the DLA-NZ900/NZ800 series, both DML and MaxCLL values are used for the HDR levels.
In HDR10, the basic standard for reproducing HDR content, there are only two pieces of information: MaxCLL, which represents the maximum brightness of the content, and MaxFALL, which represents the average maximum brightness. However with HDR10+, the luminance information for each scene is embedded in the content as metadata, which allows for scene-specific tone mapping and faithfully reproduces the HDR image intended by the creator.
The Frame Adapt HDR function, which uses a proprietary algorithm to instantaneously analyze the maximum brightness of any HDR10 content per scene or per frame and perform real-time tone mapping to optimal dynamic range for video projection, has evolved into the second generation (Gen2). The algorithm for tone mapping has been fully reexamined to achieve HDR images with higher definition. Furthermore, the proprietary algorithm for tone curve selection has also been improved to reproduce HDR images that are brighter, more colorful and have a wider dynamic range.
The new Deep Black function has been added to Frame Adapt HDR, with a new algorithm to further subdue tones in dark areas to achieve more realistic darkness. This function maximizes the dynamic range of the new-generation 4K D-ILA devices and delivers images with more contrast than ever before. Scenes with light and dark shades such as nightscapes can be projected with greater realism.
Brightness of the projector screen varies depending on the screen size, gain, frequency of use, and Setting. JVC projectors intelligently adjust tone mapping so that the content can be viewed at the appropriate brightness by automatically analyzing the environment in which the projector is used, simply by entering the screen size and gain information under Theater Optimizer in the Frame Adapt HDR picture mode. This ensures reference picture quality at the appropriate brightness, suitable to each custom home theater environment.
JVC projectors featuring Frame Adapt HDR and Theater Optimizer can express HDR/HDR10+ content at optimum brightness and darkness in each scene as the creator intended.
Even when HDR content using a wide color gamut equivalent to BT.709 and DCI-P3 is projected on these projectors, the original cinema filter combined with the BLU-Escent Laser work together to reproduce rich colors, such as the gradations of the sky and ocean, the contrast of red roses, or a row of fresh green trees.
To reproduce SDR content with a narrow dynamic range in more saturated colors, conventional Natural mode has been improved to the new “Vivid” mode. This mode is excellent for projecting SDR animated works that are popular in streaming content and gaming CGs with greater vividness.
Clear Motion Drive*, which reduces afterimages, has improved its algorithm for compensation accuracy in the periphery of intersecting objects. Together with Motion Enhance technology, these projectors enable much smoother reproduction of images.
*The function is disabled when inputting 4K120p signals.
All models are licensed with the ISF C3 (Certified Calibration Controls) mode, enabling trained dealers to professionally calibrate them to desired screen surfaces, lighting environments and video sources, and then securely store these precise settings into the projector.
A 6-axis matrix of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow enables the precise adjustment of hue, saturation, and intensity. Users can make adjustments suitable for the content as the projector allows precise management of colors.
Using an optical sensor and proprietary software*2, optimum calibration can be applied in just a few easy steps to match the changes in optical characteristics caused by the installation situation of the projector. Auto-Calibration optimizes all essential elements found in the image, including color balance, gamma characteristics, color space, and color tracking. In the past, multiple calibrations were required, but now it's possible to complete the calibration with a single calibration.
*2: An optical sensor and proprietary software, which is downloadable from JVC website, are required to perform auto calibration function. Refer to the JVC website for details.
Today's diversified video signals require settings that match the input signals for viewing at an appropriate picture quality. The latest projectors from JVC provide various functions and menus for easy, optimized use of the settings. To name a few, there is a menu for Content Type, a function to automatically switch Color Profile, and a function to set Auto Pic. Mode Select. Content Type menu: Use this menu to select the best "picture quality mode" for the input video without worrying about complicated manual gamma and gamut settings. Automatic Color Profile Switching function: Use this function to automatically switch to the optimal color profile according to the color gamut information of the video signal, eliminating the need for manual switching. Auto Pic. Mode Select: Use this function to set the "Picture Mode" corresponding to each input signal (SDR, 3D, HDR10, and HLG).
These projectors are equipped with Installation Mode that allows users to centrally manage settings related to installation in order to enjoy projected video optimized for each environment. As shown in the graphical interface, eight settings for Lens Control, Pixel Adjustment, Mask, Anamorphic on or off, Screen Setting, Installation Style, Keystone, and Aspect can be adjusted. Additionally, ten different mode settings can be stored in memory and named as desired. Installation modes stored in memory for various environments can be called up immediately.
Screen Adjustment Mode is one of the nine Installation Modes described above. When the user selects a setting that best suits the screen being used from the Screen Adjustment Mode settings, the projector adjusts the image with natural color balance to match the screen. The mode is compatible with the latest models offered by the world's major screen manufacturers.
These projectors feature Digital Keystone Function. Digital Keystone adjusts keystone distortion that occurs when the projector is placed in a tilted position.
* : Digital Keystone Function cannot be used simultaneously. Keystone adjustment corrects only in the vertical direction.
A 2.35:1 aspect ratio for wide cinematic films can be enjoyed by combining the projector with a third-party anamorphic lens to create dynamic picture reproduction just as can be seen in a movie theater.
The USB Back-up function can save and write settings on the main unit menu to a third-party USB flash drive all at once. It is important to save adjustments made by an installer or specialist, or to undo unintended adjustments made by children or family members.
Rear air intake and front exhaust layout provide flexibility for a variety of installations. Screw holes at the feet are compatible with a conventional ceiling-mount bracket, the anti-skid grooves prevent the projector from slipping while lifting it.
JVC Unique Input and Output In addition to 3D compatible HDMI inputs, the projector features an array of other connections, such as an RJ-45 socket for projector control, firmware and configuration updates, and a trigger socket for an anamorphic lens or motorised screen. The projectors comply with the latest HDMI standard and HDCP with the two HDMI terminals.
