All components redesigned
The optical unit, lens, and circuit board have been re-engineered to create the world's smallest native 4K projector.
Volume Reduction
The dimensions of the DLA-NZ700/NZ500/RS2200/RS1200 have been reduced by 35% compared to the previous DLA-NZ7/RS2100 model, while still incorporating a laser light source and a native 4K D-ILA device.
Redesign of Air Intake and Outlet
By placing the heat source's exhaust at the rear, the potential impact of the image on the projection screen has been eliminated. This offers greater flexibility in installation.
Environmental Aspects
The construction of the new projector models uses significantly less plastic, which also reduces transportation costs. This results in a product that is considerably more environmentally friendly.
NATIVE 4K
0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device enhances video quality
The proprietary 0.69-inch D-ILA device for native 4K has been further developed to enhance black detail.
High Native Contrast
The DLA-NZ700/RS2200 achieves a native contrast of 80,000:1* by simultaneously improving alignment control and pixel flatness. *: 40,000:1 for the DLA-NZ500/RS1200
Uniform Brightness
The manufacturing process has improved the uniformity of brightness across the entire screen, ensuring consistent image quality to every corner.
Low Latency
The low-latency design improves responsiveness to fast player operations, making it suitable for displaying high frame rate game content on large screens.
NEW BLU-ESCENT LASER
High Brightness and Long Life
JVC's proprietary Blu-Escent laser light source technology uses a blue laser diode as the light source. The DLA-NZ700 achieves a high brightness of 2,300lm and the DLA-NZ500 2,000lm. Both models have an expected life of approximately 20,000 hours.
Improved Power Efficiency
The brightness of the DLA-NZ700/NZ500 per watt of effective power is about twice that of the first BLU-Escent laser model (the DLA-Z1 was released in January 2017 with a brightness of 3,000lm).
101-Step Luminance Control
BLU-Escent Laser can fine-tune the luminance depending on the environment and preference with the light source control slider. 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.
NEWLY DEVELOPED FULLY MOTORIZED 4K LENS
Superior Resolution
The newly developed large-aperture 4K compatible lens (80 mm, 11 groups, 15 elements) delivers full native 4K D-ILA resolution to every corner of the screen.
Installation Flexibility
Fully electric (zoom, focus, shift), with 70% vertical and 28% horizontal shift for easy installation.
ULTIMATE DYNAMIC RANGE
HDR Dramatically Improves Image Expressiveness
When it comes to reproducing the rich video information of HDR content, including the expanded brightness range, wide BT.2020 color space, and 10-bit gradation, you can rely on the new D-ILA projectors. Both models support all HDR formats, including HDR10 for Blu-ray and streaming, HLG for broadcasting, and HDR10+ with dynamic metadata compatibility. The projectors' improvements in brightness and contrast have helped achieve a wider dynamic range, allowing users to enjoy a realistic HDR experience.
DML (Display Mastering Luminance) for a better HDR experience
The DML (Max Display Mastering Luminance) metadata, representing the nit level of the professional monitor used to grade the film according to the director's standards, is used to set the dynamic range of the title for improved HDR tone mapping. In the DLA-NZ700/NZ500 series, both DML and MaxCLL values are used for HDR levels.
HDR10+ Described
In HDR10, the basic standard for HDR content playback, there are only two pieces of information: MaxCLL, which indicates the maximum brightness of the content, and MaxFALL, which indicates the average maximum brightness. In HDR10+, luminance information for each scene is embedded as metadata in the content, enabling scene-specific tone mapping and faithfully reproducing the HDR image intended by the creator.
Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR function for brighter and more colorful HDR images
The Frame Adapt HDR function, which uses a proprietary algorithm to instantly analyze the maximum brightness of each HDR10 content scene by scene or frame by frame and perform real-time tone mapping for an optimal dynamic range for video projection, has been further developed in the second generation (Gen2). The tone mapping algorithm has been completely revised to achieve higher resolution HDR images. In addition, the proprietary algorithm for tone curve selection has been improved to reproduce HDR images that are brighter, more colorful, and have a wider dynamic range.
Deeper Blacks for Richer Gradations
The new Deep Black Tone Control has been added to Frame Adapt HDR, with a new algorithm that further attenuates tones in dark areas to achieve more realistic darkness. This feature maximizes the dynamic range of the new generation 4K D-ILA devices and delivers images with more contrast than ever before. Scenes with bright and dark shades, such as night landscapes, can be projected more realistically.
FILMMAKER MODE™
FILMMAKER MODE™ for faithful reproduction of the creator's original intentions.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FROM JVC
Equipped with Vivid picture mode, which reproduces SDR content in rich colors
The Vivid Picture Mode is a Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) picture mode that reproduces content in rich colors. You can enjoy popular SDR video content, such as animations, in bright, rich colors and clear images.
Proof of high-quality projectors licensed with ISF certifications
All models are licensed with the ISF C3 (Certified Calibration Controls) mode, which allows trained professional dealers to calibrate them for specific screen surfaces, lighting environments, and video sources, and then securely store these precise settings in the projector.
6-axis Color Management System
A 6-axis matrix of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow allows for precise adjustment of hue, saturation, and intensity. Since the projector enables precise color management, the user can make adjustments suitable for the specific content.
Automatic Calibration Function
Using an optical sensor and proprietary software*2, optimal calibration can be performed in a few simple steps to compensate for changes in optical properties caused by the projector's installation situation. Auto-calibration optimizes all essential elements of the image, including color balance, gamma characteristics, color space, and color tracking. While multiple calibrations were previously required, it is now possible to complete calibration with a single calibration.
*2: An optical sensor and proprietary software, which can be downloaded from the JVC website, are required to perform automatic calibration. Please refer to the JVC website for more information.
PRACTICAL FUNCTIONS
Installation Mode
These projectors are equipped with an installation mode that allows the user to centrally manage installation settings to enjoy projected video optimized for the specific environment. As shown in the graphical user interface, eight settings for lens control, pixel adjustment, mask, anamorphic on or off, screen adjustment, installation style, keystone, and aspect ratio can be adjusted. In addition, 5 different mode settings can be saved and named as desired. Stored installation modes for various environments can be instantly recalled.
Screen Adjustment Mode
The screen adjustment mode is one of the nine installation modes described above. When the user selects a setting from the screen adjustment mode that best matches the screen being used, the projector adjusts the image with natural color balance to the screen. The mode is compatible with the latest models from the world's leading screen manufacturers.
Digital Keystone Function*
These projectors are equipped with the digital keystone function. The digital keystone function compensates for keystone distortion that occurs when the projector is placed in an inclined position.
* The digital keystone function cannot be used simultaneously. Keystone correction only occurs in the vertical direction.
Anamorphic Mode for Wide Cinema Films
By combining the projector with a third-party anamorphic lens, a 2.35:1 aspect ratio for wide cinema films can be utilized to achieve dynamic image reproduction like in a cinema.
USB Backup
The USB backup function allows settings in the main menu of the device to be saved to a third-party USB flash drive all at once. This is important for saving settings made by an installer or specialist, or for undoing unintended settings made by children or family members.
