FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New JVC D-ILA Home
Theater Projector Line
Features Top Model With 70,000:1
Native Contrast
New features
include ISF certification, high speed frame rate and more.
- ATLANTA, September 10, 2009 –
JVC updates its award-winning line of D-ILA home theater projectors
with the introduction of six new models, each offering the high
native contrast that has made JVC projectors top-selling favorites
among the most demanding home theater enthusiasts. The new line
includes four THX® Certified projectors and all six achieve
unprecedented contrast ratios without the need for artificial
contrast enhancing techniques, such as a dynamic iris. In fact,
JVC’s new top-end model boasts a native contrast ratio of 70,000:1
– the highest among all currently available home theater
projectors.
-
- The new projectors are the
DLA-RS35, DLA-RS25 and DLA-RS15 to be marketed by JVC’s
professional products group, and the DLA-HD990, DLA-HD950 and
DLA-HD550, available through JVC’s consumer electronics group.
All six projectors feature the same D-ILA technology and features
found in previous models, but add improvements in both performance
and usability.
-
- New for 2010 is JVC’s
double-speed 120Hz Clear Motion Drive technology to reduce motion
blurring, and a new screen adjustment mode to optimize the projector
for different screen types – features available on all six new
models. Four of the six new projectors – DLA-RS35, DLA-RS25,
DLA-HD990 and DLA-HD950 – offer JVC’s new original picture
modes, which provides advanced processing that adjusts for the
different way that projectors process color compared to the color
mixture method used in film. As a result, the projector delivers
the subtle nuances typically associated only with a movie theater
presentation. What’s more, these same four new models are
certified by ISF and so include an ISF C3 mode so they can be
professionally calibrated.
-
- All six new projectors use
JVC-developed 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA devices and the company’s
wire-grid optical engine. These key technologies combine to deliver
unprecedented native contrast, meaning that there is no dynamic iris
to artificially inflate contrast specifications. As a result, the
projectors simultaneously deliver true blacks and extraordinary
luminance detail.
-
- The pinnacle of this performance
is found in the new DLA-RS35 and DLA-HD990. These projectors offer
the highest performance yet of any D-ILA home theater projector,
with a native contrast ratio of 70,000:1. This unparalleled
performance is achieved in part by using components that are made to
the most exacting of tolerances. This includes the selection of
only the highest performing optical assemblies, the selection and
matching of the D-ILA devices, and final adjustment by highly
trained JVC technicians. In addition, the DLA-RS35 and DLA-HD990
come with a three year warranty.
-
- Native contrast ratio
specifications for the other new projectors are:
-
DLA-HD550 – 30,000:1
-
DLA-RS15 – 32,000:1
-
DLA-RS25/DLA-HD950 – 50,000:1
-
- The top four models –
DLA-RS35, DLA-HD990, DLA-RS25 and DLA-HD950 – are all THX
Certified (for all worldwide markets) to ensure accurate and
exceptional picture quality in the home theater environment. With
strict attention to image quality and signal processing performance,
THX certification promises that these projectors are capable of
presenting a wide range of video content at maximum resolutions with
the correct color and luminance levels. In addition, THX has created
a battery of signal processing tests that challenge the projector’s
scaling, motion conversion and de-interlacing capabilities. This
type of in-depth analysis predicts how the projectors will present a
variety of high definition and standard definition content.
-
- These same four models also
feature color management that interpolates colors
individually by R, G, B, C, Y, or M, in three separate axes of color
phase, chroma saturation and brightness. Up to three customized
color settings can be stored for future use.
-
- Features shared by all six new
projectors include:
-
Three JVC-developed D-ILA devices
(red, green, blue) for a naturally rich, flicker-free picture;
-
HQV Reon-VX video processor
developed by Silicon Optix to ensure excellent image reproduction
with precision I/P conversion and scaling;
-
A high-performance 1.4 – 2.8:1
zoom lens with motorized focus features a large diameter, all-glass
lens system with 16 elements in 17 groups that includes an ED lens
to project a full HD image with exceptional depth and minimal
chromatic aberration;
-
Manual adjustment of the gamma curve
via an on-screen display, allowing the viewer to adjust projector
luminance levels by either increasing contrast in scenes that are
too dark or dimming washed-out scenes to ensure precise brightness
levels suited to individual preferences or viewing conditions. Up to
three settings can be adjusted and stored for future use;
-
Flexible set-up with a ±80 percent
vertical and ±34 percent horizontal motorized lens shift function
that allows the projected picture to be moved horizontally or
vertically via the remote control.
- Other features include an
external 12-volt trigger (not available on the DLA-HD550) that can
be used to automatically raise and lower a screen or draw curtains,
or it can be linked to engaging the V-Stretch mode and move an
optional anamorphic wide screen lens system into place. Also, an
automatic lens cover opens and closes with power on/off.
-
- All six projectors comply with
HDMI version 1.3 (Deep Color/CEC) specifications, which provide for
billions of colors and reproduce subtler shades of grey, and CEC
compatibility for system control.
