INDIANAPOLIS, IN (September 9, 2005) – JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY features its new 70-inch and 61-inch widescreen HD-ILA rear projection TV’s, the HD-P70R1U and HD-P61R1U. With 1920 x 1080 native progressive display and D65 color standard delivering studio-accurate color balance, these rear projection TVs are ideal for HD viewing in advanced home theater applications, HD edit suites and museums.

JVC’s newly developed HD-ILA employs its patented 3-Chip Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier (D-ILA™) technology that boasts extremely fine pixel pitch to deliver native 1080p high-resolution images that reproduce the smooth look of film. Its native resolution of 1920 x 1080 makes the HD-P70R1U and HD-P61R1U ideally suited to achieve an extraordinary HD viewing experience in the custom installation market.

“With a plethora of rear projection products being introduced into the market, these models stand out with pinpoint calibration to the D65 color standard,” said Gary Klasmeier, D-ILA Product Engineering Manager, JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY. “Watching pictures created with JVC's renowned D-ILA technology and calibrated D65 provides a viewing experience not achievable with mass market projectors.”

Both the HD-P70R1U and HD-P61R1U are slim in design making them easy to install and ideal for use in a variety of locations and situations. These rear projection TVs also come equipped with RS-232C serial control ports to allow external computerized control for custom installation.

A built-in ATSC tuner allows delivery of over-the-air digital broadcasts and the CableCARD slot eliminates the need for a set top box to descramble local cable programming.
