Performance
Enhancements in New, Expanded JVC Projector Line
Improvements in
contrast, 4K
precision picture quality
and 3D performance
- INDIANAPOLIS, September 6, 2012
– JVC today announced a new, expanded line of home theater
projectors that offers significant improvements in picture
performance and upgraded e-shift technology, which upconverts and
scales 2D content to a 4K signal. Now called e-shift2, the
technology is available in seven new JVC projectors. Other
performance-enhancing features include a new illumination system and
a new polarizing wire grid
in combination
with e-shift2 for
higher native
contrast.
-
- JVC’s 2013 projectors are the
Procision Series
DLA-X95R, DLA-X75R,
DLA-X55R and DLA-X35,
marketed by JVC’s Consumer AV Group, and the Reference Series
DLA-RS66, DLA-RS56, DLA-RS4810, DLA-RS48 and DLA-RS46, available
through JVC Professional Products Company. All
are 3D-enabled and all except for the base models in each series
offer e-shift2.
-
- Introduced last year on four
models, e-shift
upconverts and scales 2D HD content to a 4K signal (3840 x 2160) and
displays it at full 4K precision. Compared to a Full HD (1920 x
1080) image, that’s twice the horizontal and vertical resolution
and four times the number of pixels, or over 8 megapixels. The
result is a stunningly detailed image with minimal aliasing
artifacts found in standard HD displays. This year’s upgraded
e-shift2 technology, available in seven models, provides higher
native contrast in
combination with a new polarizing
wire grid engine.
-
- In other enhancements, new
2K to 4K scaling technology using proprietary JVC algorithms
replaces a two-band filter with an eight-band filter to apply more
correction to more areas of the image. This delivers a noticeable
improvement with any compatible 2D signal. To optimize performance
for different content, this Multiple
Pixel Control offers five preset modes
plus Off.
-
- 3D performance has been
improved, with new circuitry and a new optical engine responsible
for reduced cross talk. The result is more natural, clear and
brighter images.
-
- Another key enhancement is a new
illumination system, including a new lamp and power supply, which
delivers a significant improvement in brightness over the life of
the lamp. In addition,
the lamp warranty has been extended to one year/1,000 hours.
-
- To provide enthusiasts with a
true measure of performance, JVC has long focused on native contrast
and refused to artificially enhance contrast specifications through
the use of a dynamic iris. For 2013, native contrast has been
improved in most models through the use of a new polarizing wire
grid, ensuring that every frame consistently and faithfully
reproduces peak whites and deep blacks. The flagship DLA-X95R
and DLA-RS66 offer a
130,000:1 native contrast ratio. The DLA-X75R and
DLA-RS56 offer
90,000:1 native contrast, and the DLA-X55R,
DLA-X35, DLA-RS4810,
DLA-RS48 and DLA-RS46 offer
50,000:1 native contrast.
-
- Other enhancements new for 2013
are:
-
New active shutter glasses for 3D
viewing use RF rather than IR technology to offer more stable
synchronization and extended range while avoiding possible
interference with IR-controlled devices;
-
Smartphone application
that allows
remote control of the projectors from a smartphone
or tablet ;
- Additional lens memory settings
– Ten
for the DLA-X75R,
DLA-X95R, DLA-RS56 and DLA-RS66 and
five
for the DLA-X35,
DLA-X55R, DLA-RS46, DLA-RS48 and RS4810.
These
store custom focus, zoom and horizontal/vertical lens shift
position. This allows a constant height display of 4:3, 16:9 ,
2.35:1
or any other scope
content without an additional anamorphic lens.
- The flagship DLA-X95R and
DLA-RS66 are built
using hand-selected, hand-tested components
and have a 130,000:1
native contrast ratio. For 3D viewing, both models come with two
pairs of PK-AG3 RF 3D glasses and a PK-EM2 3D Signal Emitter. Both
projectors also have a three-year warranty.
-
- The DLA-X75R and DLA-RS56 have a
native contrast of 90,000:1.
-
- The DLA-X95R,
DLA-X75R, DLA-RS66 and DLA-RS56 feature
e-shift2,
upgraded light engine, full color management, ISF certification and
advanced calibration functionality. In
addition, they are designed to pass the 400-plus tests necessary to
achieve THX® 3D Certification (pending) – a promise to consumers
of the highest level of quality and performance. All JVC THX
Certified Projectors include THX 2D and 3D Cinema viewing modes to
provide the most accurate color reproduction available in a
pre-calibrated setting, ensuring content is rendered back just as
its creator intended.
- The DLA-X55R,
DLA-RS48 and DLA-RS4810
bring e-shift2
to a new price point and feature JVC’s Color
Management
System, five
lens memory presets and
a native contrast
ratio of 50,000:1. The
DLA-RS4810 adds a three year warranty.
-
- The DLA-X35 and
DLA-RS46 are
3D-enabled projectors with a 50,000:1 contrast ratio.
The DLA-X35 is available with a black or white cabinet.
