FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Free JVC Projector
Upgrade Automatically Optimizes HDR For User’s Home Theater
Environment New Home Theater Optimizer is
part of next generation Frame Adapt HDR through free firmware upgrade. -
- LONG BEACH, Calif, September 3, 2020 –
JVCKENWOOD Corporation improves their Native 4K and 8K e-shift
projectors with a major performance upgrade that automatically fine
tunes HDR based on the specific home theater environment.
-
The new Theater Optimizer smart function analyzes
installation characteristics to intelligently adjust tone mapping.
The user simply enters screen size and gain information and the
Theater Optimizer takes this data into account and adjusts a range
of internal projector settings to optimize HDR performance.
- JVC reinforces their leadership position in
innovation and customer support by making this updated Frame Adapt
HDR with Theater Optimizer available as a free firmware upgrade in
November 2020 for all customers with the following models: DLA-NX5,
DLA-NX7, DLA-NX9, DLA-RS1000, DLA-RS2000 & DLA-RS3000.

Updated Frame Adapt HDR
-
JVC originally introduced Frame Adapt HDR in
October 2019 — adding dynamic tone mapping to their Native 4K and
8K e-shift home theater projectors. With the updated version, 4K
HDR10 streaming, games and Blu-ray content are automatically
adjusted for optimized brightness, color and detail on a frame by
frame or scene by scene basis.
- Color grading of HDR10 content varies
depending on the source material. Optimal viewing can be difficult
as the brightness of this content also varies dramatically. Using
JVC’s original algorithm, Frame Adapt HDR instantly analyzes the
peak brightness of HDR10 content (including Dolby Vision titles) and
adjusts the optimal dynamic range in real time. All HDR10 related
picture settings are automatically fine-tuned for the best on-screen
image with no need for user adjustment.
-
- Theater Optimizer:
-
Each projection home theater environment is
unique, as is each projector. Image brightness varies from system to
system, and changes over time. JVC’s new Theater Optimizer is a
smart function that addresses these distinct characteristics.
-
Theater Optimizer allows the integrator or user
to input the screen size and gain information, which varies
depending on the theater design, and then calculates installation
information such as lens zoom position, and lamp condition and
settings. It then automatically adjusts the projector for optimum
tone mapping and brightness. By adding this function to Frame Adapt
HDR, JVC allows each user to enjoy HDR10 content matched to the
viewing environment without complicated manual adjustments.
- 18-bit level gamma processing is maintained
while the feature is in use, bringing out deeper blacks in darker
scenes, and higher peak whites in brighter scenes, along with the
most realistic color, to reproduce high precision images with smooth
gradations.
-
In response to user requests, the upgrade offers
newly added settings and improved menu operations with this firmware
update. Frame Adapt HDR brightness adjustment has been increased to
five steps (previously three steps), and users can choose the
picture mode according to input signals.
- Complicated individual manual settings that
were required in the past are now eliminated. With the newly added
functions, users can easily enjoy powerful HDR images with these JVC
projectors.
