JVC INTRODUCES DLA-VS2100U
VISUALIZATION SERIES PROJECTOR
Improved Brightness, Native Contrast
Ratio
Engineered Specifically for Simulation
Applications
WAYNE,
NJ (September 20, 2010)
– JVC Professional Products, a division of JVC U.S.A., today unveiled the
DLA-VS2100U D-ILA projector at 2010 FSEMC, an annual conference serving the
flight simulation and training industry, in Brighton, U.K. The newest addition
to JVC’s Visualization Series, the rugged DLA-VS2100U was specifically
developed for simulation environments and other visualization applications.
The
DLA-VS2100U has a new optical engine that uses three D-ILA imagers to deliver
1920x1080 native resolution and 20,000:1 native contrast ratio, which is double
the contrast of JVC’s current model, the DLA-VS2000U. The new projector also
features a new 220W UHP lamp that delivers 1000 ANSI lumens, an increase in
brightness that will provide greater brightness headroom in larger or
low-efficiency systems as well as a lower cost of ownership.
“In
the simulation world, the brightness of a projector is regularly measured to
meet FAA regulations,” explained Gary Klasmeier, product engineering manager,
D-ILA Systems, JVC Professional Products. “If brightness drops beyond a certain
point, the lamp has to be replaced. With almost twice the brightness of our
previous projector, the DLA-VS2100U will deliver more lumens longer, which will
reduce lamp replacements and save operational costs.”
A
key new feature is an anti-smear reduction mode, which reduces image smearing
during fast-motion scenes through frame insertion or black frame insertion
without sacrificing light output. In addition, a new color management system
enables users to match color primaries to other projectors. The DLA-VS2100U is
also more compatible with software genlock synchronization used in some
simulation environments, and it offers Ethernet connectivity, in addition to
RS-232, for network-based monitoring and projector control.
With
two HDMI and a VGA input, the DLA-VS2100U supports 1080p/60 and 1080p/50 video
formats. Horizontal and vertical lens shift provide installation flexibility,
and a rugged chassis and optional fixed offset lens mount makes the unit ideal
for motion-based applications.
The
DLA-VS2100U ships with a 1.4-2.8:1 zoom lens The projector is also available
without a lens (DLA-VS2100NL), allowing the use of our optional 1:1 and 1.2:1
fixed lenses. The new projector will be available in February, 2011.
