Upgraded
D-ILA 3-Chip Projector Produces Superior HD Cinema Experience
with
Increased Contrast and D65 Color Accuracy
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (September 10, 2004) – JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY today introduced the DLA-HX2U projector. The latest JVC three-chip Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier (D-ILA®) projector, designed to meet the high-performance expectations of the high definition (HD) home theater market, delivers the highest resolution in its class (1400 x 788) with an improved contrast ratio for crisp, true HD images.
The DLA-HX2U offers superior color reproduction and image performance through its three reflective .64-inch D-ILA chips. D-ILA’s three separate imaging panels offer a smooth film-like cinema experience without distracting visual effects, such as “screen-door effect” and “rainbows,” inherent to other technologies. It produces flicker-free 1400 x 788 images with 1500:1 contrast ratio and factory-set D65 color temperature. Viewers can watch D-ILA images for hours at a time without any eye fatigue.
“With the influx of single and three-chip DLP projectors on the market, JVC has once again packaged and delivered the high-end performance and superior image reproduction that D-ILA projectors are famous for at a moderate price,” explained Gary Klasmeier, product marketing manager D-ILA Products of JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY. “The DLA-HX2U offers superior image performance when compared to single-chip DLP projectors in this price range as well as three-chip DLP 720p projectors selling in the $30,000-or-more range.”
Compared to DLP and LCD projectors, JVC’s unique reflective D-ILA technology provides tighter, more closely spaced pixels that provide a higher aperture ratio. Each D-ILA pixel is a non-moving, highly reflective mirror surface behind layers of liquid crystal. Since the mirrors do not move, they can be placed very close together which virtually eliminates the pixel grid or “screen door effect” visible in other projection technologies. Since the gaps between pixels are not noticeable, the picture is extremely smooth and offers film-like resolution. Using three reflective panels rather than a color wheel, D-ILA eliminates the “rainbow effect” caused by sequencing colors projected on the screen.
Exclusive JVC technologies also provide the DLA-HX2U with both superior color and truer black reproduction. A unique optical engine and AG circuitry produce rich, natural colors with better gradation and intermediate tones for a smooth, lifelike appearance for enhanced home theater experience.
JVC’s Digital Image Scaling Technology (DIST) enhancer provides sophisticated de-interlacing and scaling algorithms for high-resolution reproduction of HDTV or DVD images. The DLA-HX2U accepts analog signals including 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080/24sF~30sF and digital HDTV formats, ensuring compatibility with DTV / HDTV signals.
This compact projector, weighing only 13.6 pounds, is equipped with analog composite, component, S-Video and RGBHV input terminals and 15-pin VGA input connectors, enabling it to be used in combination with video sources of virtually any format. The DVI-D Plug and Play interface provides direct-digital input with HDCP providing compatibility with set top boxes and advanced digital players. Discreet IR and RS232 control codes and separate on/off remote control commands allow the projector to work seamlessly with multi-component control systems. The DLA-HX2U also features an easily replaceable NSH lamp whose 2000-hour lamp life offers users a low operating cost.
The DLA-HX2U will be available in November 2004 exclusively through home theater distributors and custom installers. More information is available on JVC’s web site at http://pro.jvc.com.
