FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JVC AND
BOEING ADD MORE REALISM TO MILITARY TRAINING SIMULATION
Boeing Constant Resolution
Visual System Incorporates JVC e-Shift 8K Projectors to Provide
Highest Level of Pilot Immersion
Enhanced Solution on Display
This Week at I/ITSEC
- WAYNE,
NJ (December 3, 2012)
–This week at the 2012
Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando, Boeing [NYSE: BA] is
demonstrating new technology with its Constant Resolution Visual
System (CRVS) that allows the system to deliver almost four times
the resolution of high definition for more realistic and effective
military training. JVC’s new e-Shift
8K projection technology brings CRVS’
visual acuity closer to 20/20 while keeping the system’s projector
small and affordable. It nearly
doubles a projector’s resolution horizontally and vertically,
approaching 8K performance from a 4K device.
-
- “CRVS previously provided the
highest-resolution, lowest-cost solution on the market,” said
Barry Kuhlmann, Visual Systems Engineering Manager at Boeing. “Now,
with JVC e-Shift 8K
projectors, CRVS has taken another leap forward in visual
performance and fidelity to better prepare military pilots by
allowing them to train in a more realistic yet safe environment.”
- “We believe that image quality counts,
whether it’s for entertainment, education or next-generation
flight training,” said Rod Sterling, chief engineer, JVC
Technology Center. “We designed our e-Shift
8K projector to register down to
1/16th pixel accuracy to provide the unparalleled clarity and
sharpness that Boeing customers demand.”
- CRVS provides constant target visibility
throughout the entire field of vision by surrounding the pilot and
cockpit in an eggshell-like environment that visually transforms
into cities, landscapes and complex combat scenarios. JVC e-Shift
8K projectors further enhance the
training experience and enable pilots to identify targets at
real-world ranges.
-
- CRVS is compatible with a wide range of
fast jet and rotary-wing cockpits and aviator night vision goggles,
and easily integrates with current and future head-mounted displays.
Existing CRVS customers can upgrade to JVC e-Shift
8K without modifying screens or
structure.
