New JVC Home Theatre Projectors Display Images With 4K Precision
LONDON, September 8, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Two New Models Upconvert Images to Four Times the Resolution
of Full HD
JVC today introduced the world's first HD upconverting home theatre
projectors that display 2D HD content with full 4K precision. They feature
JVC's new e-shift technology capable of projecting images with 3840 x 2160
pixel resolution, four times that of full HD. The upconverting technology is
available in two of three new 3D-ready projectors that boast a wide range of
advancements, including higher native contrast than previous models for
levels that remain unmatched by any other home theatre projector.
[1]The new projectors are the DLA-X90R, DLA-X70R and DLA-X30. JVC's 4K
e-shift technology is featured in the top two models, while all three new
projectors offer other advancements that boost picture quality, improve 3D
performance and enhance functionality.
Earlier this year, NHK Engineering Service Inc. and JVC Kenwood
Corporation collaborated in the development of a Super High Vision
projection system that utilises e-shift technology. Now, that technology is
available in the DLA-X90R and DLA-X70R. Using e-shift, 2D HD content is
upconverted and scaled to a 4K signal (3840 x 2160) and the e-shift
technology 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.
All three projectors are 3D-enabled and offer several 3D performance and
feature enhancements:
- 2D-to-3D Converter - Converts 2D program material to 3D
using technology derived from JVC's professional 2D-to-3D converter.
Included are user adjustments for 3D depth and subtitle geometry
correction.
- JVC's 3D anamorphic feature combined with an optional anamorphic
lens makes it possible to enjoy 3D movies in the popular 2:35 scope
format.
- Compatibility with a wider range of 3D broadcasts, including
1080p/24 and 720p side-by-side formats.
- Brighter 3D images than previous models are possible through the
use of an improved driver that keeps the shutter on the active shutter
3D glasses open longer, thus allowing more light to enter, while at the
same time minimising crosstalk.
- A Crosstalk Canceller further reduces crosstalk through analysis
of the left eye and right eye signals and applying appropriate
correction.
- A parallax adjustment allows the user to tailor the 3D image
effect.
- Direct access to 3D formats and settings on the remote control.
In addition, the top two models - DLA-X90R and DLA-X70R - are ISF
Certified and THX(R) 3D Display Certified. During the THX 3D certification
process, more than 400 laboratory tests are conducted, evaluating colour
accuracy, crosstalk, viewing angles and video processing to ensure the
superior out-of-the-box 3D and 2D display performance that home theatre
enthusiasts demand.
Other features shared by these two models include:
- Enhanced installation adjustment, including a new 1/16th
pixel adjust function to precisely tune convergence via 121 adjustment
points (11 vertical x 11 horizontal) and an increased number of screen
mode preset positions up to a maximum of 255.
- An upgraded optical engine that further improves black level and
native contrast.
- An expanded range of colour profiles, including 100% Adobe and
five additional positions that are user programmable.
- 7-Axis Colour Management System.
- ISF and THX Calibration via corresponding software to allow
advanced adjustment by certified calibrators.
- Three Xenon lamp colour modes that emulate the characteristics
of high-end movie projectors.
Other new enhancements for all three 2012 projectors are:
- Lens memory function - Three memory settings store custom
focus, zoom and horizontal/vertical lens shift position. This allows a
constant image height display of 4:3, 16:9 and 2:35 scope content
without an additional anamorphic lens.
- An RJ45 connection that provides enhanced system control and
easy firmware or screen mode updates.
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 2012, native contrast
has been improved for the top two models, ensuring that every frame
consistently and faithfully reproduces peak whites and deep blacks.
The new flagship projector, the DLA-X90R, is built using hand-selected,
hand-tested components and provides a 120,000:1 native contrast ratio. The
DLA-X70R offers 80,000:1 native contrast ratio, while the DLA-X30 offers
50,000:1 native contrast ratio.
All three new projectors feature three 0.7" 1920 x 1080 D-ILA devices
and are designed around JVC's third generation D-ILA High Dynamic Range
optical engine that is optimised to provide exceptional native contrast
ratios without a dynamic iris. In the top two models (DLA-X90R and DLA-X70R)
the 16-step lens and lamp aperture adjustment allows the user to optimise
the f-number (relative aperture) of the optics system in all steps. The
DLA-X30 features a 16-step lens aperture.
The new JVC D-ILA projectors will be available in November.
In addition, JVC announced new glasses - the PK-AG2, which are more
compact, lighter and are rechargeable. They are compatible with the
currently available PK-EM1 3D Signal Emitter.
JVC Active Shutter 3D Glasses and the PK-EM1 3D Signal Emitter are sold
separately.
