D-ILA projectors continue to evolve for the better. The latest JVC models feature an original native 0.69" 4K D-ILA devices, which were first adopted on model DLA-Z1; this device has been improved with process refinements on planarization and reflection efficiency to achieve higher contrast and brightness. Additionally, a dedicated driver LSI was also enhanced to simultaneously drive each of the three (R/G/B) native 4K D-ILA devices at high-speed 120fps. As a result, precise and smooth image projection unique to 4K native can be achieved with the combination of a new device and new driver LSI.
A 6-axis matrix of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow enables the precise adjustment of hue, saturation, and intensity. Only the colour that is being adjusted will be shown in colour while the others are grey-toned, making operation more intuitive.
A high-performance lens system is essential for displaying the 4K high-definition information. The DLA-NP5 is equipped with a 17-element, 15-group all-glass lens with 65 mm diameter to project fully focused 4K native resolution to all corners of the screen.
Native contrast as high as 40,000:1 is delivered by this projectors' optical engine alone. But on top of that, the DLA-NP5 has a dynamic contrast ratio of 400,000:1.
Latest generation game consoles capable of outputting high-spec 4K game images are now available, which leads to increased demand among users who want to play 4K/HDR games on a BIG screen. This projector is equipped with 4K120p inputs, meaning signal latency is infinitesimal, making it effective when displaying high frame-rate gaming content on large screens. What’s more, Low Latency Mode reduces delay in displaying PC signals and games, and improves response to the users’ rapid operations.
Because high-bandwidth signals can be processed without applying any conversion, the image displayed on the screen from input to panel will be the same without degrading the video signal quality. With the 4K120p input and Low Latency Mode, the DLA-NP5 presents new possibilities for high-quality gaming on large screens.
When it comes to reproducing the rich video information of HDR content including the extended brightness range, BT.2020 wide colour gamut and 10-bit gradation, rely on one of the new D-ILA projectors. New models support all HDR formats including HDR10 for Blu-ray and streaming, HLG for broadcasting, and the latest HDR10+ signal format with dynamic metadata compatibility.
JVC projectors are compatible with the two dynamic tone mappings of HDR10+ and Frame Adapt HDR. HDR10+ contains the metadata of the producer's intentions for each scene, Frame Adapt HDR instantly analyses the peak brightness in HDR10 content using an original algorithm. Ensuring you can watch any HDR content in optimal picture quality.
The Auto Tone Mapping function featured on the latest models automatically adjusts each content based on the values in the mastering data, such as Max CLL and Max FALL, which indicate the brightness of the HDR content. Image quality is automatically adjusted for optimal viewing of various HDR images with different brightness.
The brightness of the projector screen varies depending on the screen size, gain, frequency of use, and settings. JVC projectors intelligently adjust tone mapping so that the content can be viewed at the appropriate brightness by automatically analysing the environment in which the projector is used, simply by entering the screen size and gain information under Theatre Optimizer in the Frame Adapt HDR picture mode. This ensures reference picture quality at the appropriate brightness, suitable to each custom home theatre environment.
JVC projectors featuring Frame Adapt HDR and Theatre Optimizer can express HDR/HDR10+ content at optimum brightness and darkness in each scene as the creator intended.
Motion Enhance technology optimally controls the driving performance of D-ILA drives by image characteristics, the projector is capable of reproducing much smoother moving 4K images. The custom interpolation algorithm reduces ghosting and has been overhauled to improve compensation accuracy in the periphery of intersecting objects. The improved algorithm now refers to more frames to increase the precision of motion prediction and also reduces frame latency. Additionally, when Clear Motion Drive is set to low, it recreates the natural 24fps signal processing adopted on films, while pursuing an effect like de-juddering without a sense of discomfort.
The JVC DLA-NP5 instantly analyses the peak brightness for each scene and frame of content and automatically adjusts the dynamic range.
Frame Adapt HDR dynamically tone maps any HDR10 content frame-by-frame or scene-by-scene and automatically performs adjustment to achieve optimal images close to reality as seen by human eyes. As a part the Frame Adapt HDR, the projector offers improved gamma processing accuracy from 12- to 18-bit equivalent to reproduce smoother and finer gradation
The JVC DLA-NP5 is equipped with "Installation Mode" that allows you to centrally manage settings related to installation in order to enjoy projected video best suited for your unique viewing environment. Settings for Lens Control, Pixel Adjustment, Mask, Anamorphic on or off, Screen Adjust, Installation Style, Keystone, Pincushion, and Aspect can be adjusted. Additionally, ten different mode settings can be stored in memory that can be named as desired and can be called up immediately.
The Lens Shift function is used to install the projector with flexibility. Vertical/horizontal wide shift ranges help project images without distortion. In order to project high-resolution images to every corner of the screen, the lens offers a wide lens shift of ±80% vertically and ±34% horizontally.
The rear air intake and front exhaust layout provide flexibility for a variety of installations. It is now possible to mount the DLA-NP5 closer to the rear wall without risking overheating. Screw holes at the feet are compatible with a conventional ceiling-mount bracket, while the anti-skid grooves prevent the projector from slipping when installed.
Adopting the legendary centre panelling of the JVC D-ILA projectors, the new form has no decorative lines but only features simplicity for the pursuit of its functionality. The symmetrical design centred on the lens that is set in the core conveys a stately form with a sharp impression that fits the new generation models.
"After 20 years of progress, the D-ILA projector evolves from 4K to 8K with JVC’s e-shift technology."
It all started in 1997. For two decades, JVC has dedicated themselves to perfecting the D-ILA devices and technologies resulting in the finest D-ILA projectors of our time. D-ILA projectors that project realistic images with their overwhelmingly high native contrast, high resolution and wide colour gamut have gained support from both projection and video enthusiasts and received many prestigious awards. Always looking ahead, in 2018 JVC succeeded in the development of a refined 4K native device. What’s more, combining the latest 4K native device and exclusive e-shift technology, the world’s first 8K/e-shift home theatre projector is now here and ready to immerse your senses. A new challenge for the 21st year. JVCKENWOOD will continue to pursue the possibilities of D-ILA projection.
