3rd Generation Native 4K D-ILA Device

The D-ILA device is the core component of projectors, crucial for displaying stunning images. Continuous advancements have been made, with the third-generation 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device enhancing liquid crystal alignment control and pixel flatness. These improvements have led to a 1.5-times increase in native contrast ratio compared to the second-generation device. Furthermore, refinements in the manufacturing process have resulted in better screen uniformity and superior image quality. Note: The DLA-NZ800 and DLA-RS3200 models feature a 1.25-times increase.

Unparalleled Black Level and High Luminance Deliver Images Brimming with Reality

The new D-ILA projector features the industry's highest native contrast, thanks to the Gen3 0.69-inch 4K D-ILA device and wire-grid optical engine. When combined with dynamic laser light control, which analyzes the incoming video signal to automatically adjust the laser light output, it can achieve a dynamic contrast level of ∞:1 (infinity to 1) by completely shutting off the light source in pitch-black scenes. This results in highly realistic images that closely match human perception. Additionally, the new algorithm allows for more precise laser control, catering to user preferences.

Exceptional Brightness and Longevity with BLU-Escent Laser

Another crucial aspect of projectors is their light source. The DLA-NZ series utilises JVC’s proprietary "BLU-Escent Laser" light source, achieving peak brightness levels of 3,300 lumens for the DLA-NZ900 and 2,700 lumens for the DLA-NZ800, both with a lifespan of 20,000 hours. Compared to the first-generation laser projector (DLA-Z1), these projectors offer a 1.9-fold improvement in brightness per effective wattage, leading to enhanced power efficiency and energy savings.

Controlling the Luminance in 101 Steps

BLU-Escent Laser can finely adjust the luminance according to the environment and preference using the Light Source Control by slider adjustment. There are a total of 101 (0 – 100) luminance control steps that can be used to make fine adjustments to match the target luminance in the environment and on the screen.

High Resolution

8K60p Input for Ultra-high Res 8K Content. 4K120p Input for Games and More.

These D-ILA models support a range of inputs, including full 48Gbps 8K60p. With the adoption of the latest technology in LSIs, they can instantly process four times the amount of information from input to the D-ILA device, accurately displaying 8K signals. This ensures users can consistently enjoy high-quality 8K images. Additionally, using a 4K120p input with Low Latency Mode enhances the response to the player's rapid actions, making it ideal for displaying high frame-rate gaming content on large screens.

Gen2 8K/e-shiftX Realises Remarkable 8K Resolution Display

JVC’s proprietary 8K/e-shiftX, which is a combination of “e-shift technology” – a high-resolution display technology that doubles the resolution by shifting a pixel by 0.5 pixels in four directions up, down, left, and right – and “0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA devices” has made significant progress as the second generation 8K/e-shiftX. The latest version features JVC's newest 8K scaling engine that drastically improves the projector’s sharpness and detail across a wide range of content, including 8K (8192 x 4320 pixels) sources.

All-glass Lens System Made to Clearly Depict Everything What 8K Image Has to Offer

The premium DLA-NZ900 features an 18-element, 16-group all-glass lens with a full aluminium lens barrel. To ensure high-resolution 8K images are projected to every corner of the screen, it includes five ED lenses calibrated for variations in the R/G/B refractive index. This reduces chromatic aberration and colour fringing, even when lens shift is used, resulting in precise reproduction of 4K or 8K resolution projections.

Ultimate Dynamic Range

HDR Drastically Improves Expressive Power of Images

For reproducing the rich video information of HDR content, including extended brightness range, BT.2020 wide colour gamut, and 10-bit gradation, the new D-ILA projectors are ideal. Both models support all HDR formats, including HDR10 for Blu-ray and streaming, HLG for broadcasting, and HDR10+ with dynamic metadata compatibility. Enhanced brightness and contrast in these projectors have resulted in a wider dynamic range, offering users an immersive experience with highly realistic HDR images.

DML (Display Mastering Luminance) for Better HDR Experience

DML (Max Display Mastering Luminance) metadata, which indicates the nit level of the professional monitor used to grade the movie to the director's standards, is utilised to set the dynamic range for improved HDR tone mapping. In the DLA-NZ900/NZ800 series, both DML and MaxCLL values are used to determine the HDR levels.

HDR10+ described

In HDR10, the basic standard for reproducing HDR content, there are only two key pieces of information: MaxCLL, indicating the maximum brightness of the content, and MaxFALL, indicating the average maximum brightness. However, with HDR10+, luminance information for each scene is embedded in the content as metadata. This allows for scene-specific tone mapping, accurately reproducing the HDR image as intended by the creator.

Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR Function for Brighter and More Colourful HDR Images

The Frame Adapt HDR function, which utilises a proprietary algorithm to instantly analyze the maximum brightness of any HDR10 content per scene or per frame and perform real-time tone mapping to achieve optimal dynamic range for video projection, has advanced to its second generation (Gen2). The tone mapping algorithm has been thoroughly reexamined to produce HDR images with higher definition. Additionally, the proprietary algorithm for tone curve selection has been enhanced to reproduce HDR images that are brighter, more colourful, and have a wider dynamic range.

Deeper Blacks for Richer Gradation

The new Deep Black function has been added to Frame Adapt HDR, with a new algorithm to further subdue tones in dark areas to achieve more realistic darkness. This function maximises the dynamic range of the new-generation 4K D-ILA devices and delivers images with more contrast than ever before. Scenes with light and dark shades such as nightscapes can be projected with greater realism.

Theatre Optimiser for optimal reproduction of HDR content suitable to each environment

The brightness of a projector screen varies based on factors such as screen size, gain, frequency of use, and settings. JVC projectors intelligently adjust tone mapping to ensure content is viewed at the appropriate brightness by automatically analysing the usage environment. By entering the screen size and gain information in the Theatre Optimiser within the Frame Adapt HDR picture mode, the projector provides reference picture quality at the ideal brightness, tailored to each custom home theatre setup.

JVC projectors featuring Frame Adapt HDR and Theatre Optimiser can express HDR/HDR10+ content at optimum brightness and darkness in each scene as the creator intended.

Auto Calibration function

Using an optical sensor and proprietary software*2, optimum calibration can be applied in just a few easy steps to match the changes in optical characteristics caused by the installation situation of the projector. Auto-Calibration optimises all essential elements found in the image, including colour balance, gamma characteristics, colour space, and colour tracking. In the past, multiple calibrations were required, but now it's possible to complete the calibration with a single calibration.

*2: An optical sensor and proprietary software, which is downloadable from JVC website, are required to perform auto calibration function. Refer to the JVC website for details.

Functions to make appropriate settings according to the video signal and Menu structure

Today's diverse video signals necessitate settings that match the input signals to ensure optimal picture quality. JVC's latest projectors offer a range of functions and menus designed for easy and optimised usage of these settings. For instance, there's a Content Type menu that allows users to select the best picture quality mode for the input video without the complexity of manual gamma and gamut adjustments. The Automatic Colour Profile Switching function automatically selects the optimal colour profile based on the colour gamut information of the video signal, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Auto Pic. Mode Select function enables users to configure the Picture Mode for each input signal type (SDR, 3D, HDR10, and HLG).
