BREAKTHROUGH HOME CINEMA PROJECTOR DLA-RS1
DELIVERS
15,000:1
NATIVE CONTRAST RATIO AND HIGH END
PERFORMANCE
New
Optical Engine Achieves Industry’s Highest
Native Contrast Ratio
and
True Black Reproduction
Long
Beach, CA (November 15, 2006) – JVC expands its
D-ILA home theater
projector line-up with the introduction of the high definition DLA-RS1
projector, featuring its newly developed 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA device
that
achieves a previously unattainable native 15,000:1
contrast ratio
without the need for dynamic iris or other artificial means of contrast
enhancement.
As
part of JVC’s new Reference Series, a premium display product
line, the DLA-RS1
video projector provides home theater enthusiasts with an extraordinary
viewing
experience at a fraction of the cost of--and with better performance
than--high
end digital cinemas. While
the DLA-RS1
is targeted for the finest home theater installations, it is being
introduced
at a price that makes it accessible to a much wider range of home
cinema buffs.
At
the core of the DLA-RS1 is advanced video processing co-developed by
JVC and
Gennum Corporation, which ensures the faithful reproduction of
high-quality
images thanks to high-precision scaling function and Gennum’s
VXP™ technologies.
“As the flagship of our References Series product line, the DLA-RS1 is packed with advanced technologies at an affordable price, further enhancing JVC’s projector line-up,” said Carl Mandelbaum, national marketing manager, display products, JVC Professional Products Company. “Our research and development team continue to deliver the highest quality projectors for the home theater market.”
JVC’s new DLA-RS1 encompasses next generation D-ILA -- fully digital driven --making JVC the only LCOS manufacturer with a digital backplane. JVC's renowned
D-ILA (Direct Drive
Image Light
Amplifier) chip technology in a 3-panel design, eliminates the
mechanical
spinning color separation wheel and “rainbow”
effects found in competing
technologies. JVC’s
newly developed
0.7-inch full HD D-ILA device exhibits a significant reduction in stray
light
caused by the dispersion and diffraction of reflected light.
The
DLA-RS1’s full 1080p enable audio/video professionals and
home
theater enthusiasts to sit closer to the screen and open the angle of
view,
which provides optimum visual experience.
Additionally, this projector can
be used in a
variety of room environments due to its adjustable 80% vertical and 34%
horizontal shift lens. The
2x manual
zoom lens has a range of 1.4 - 2.8:1, making it suitable for screens
60” to
200” inches wide in a typical home theater.
The projector is finished in a sleek black cabinet with a
non-reflective
front panel to eliminate light reflections onto the projection screen.
The
DLA-RS1 is equipped with dual HDMI input (PC and HDTV HDCP) accepts
full HD
1080p signals provided by Blu-ray.
Component, composite, and S-Video inputs are also provided. Via its RS-232 port, the
unit can be
externally operated by popular home theater automation controllers. Additionally,
the projector features a
convenient video adjustment menu that allows users to adjust the
picture
according to the source video as well as their own preferences.
The
suggested list price for the DLA-RS1 is $6,295 and will be
available Q1 2007. For
