JVC???s original picture modes

Recreating the quality of film in movie theaters with every nuance reproduced was what JVC had in mind when we equipped our D-ILA front projector models with original picture modes. Colors displayed by projectors and those found in film are processed differently as projectors display colors using an additive color mixture method where RGB primary colors are layered on top of each other. On the other hand, film in movie theaters use a subtractive color mixture method that filters CMY colors out of the light source. With the additive color mixture method, colors become brighter as colors are added and due to an increase in energy, eventually turn white. However, the opposite can be said for the subtractive color mixture method where colors become darker and eventually turn black. JVC engineers thoroughly analyzed the two methods and succeeded in developing an optimized picture display by performing advanced processing using a built-in LSI. So this means that now what was once difficult to reproduce in the home environment such as the delicate textures and nuances of film can now be seen just like at a movie theater.

Screen Adjustment Mode

As the quality of projected images may vary slightly depending on the type of screen and its RGB reflective characteristics, JVC???s new D-ILA projectors have screen adjustment modes that allow users to select the optimum mode to match screen characteristics for more natural and balanced color reproduction.

High Performance 2x motorized zoom lens

The high-performance 2x zoom lens with motorized focus features a large-diameter lens system to ensure the projection of full HD images with exceptional depth. And to display the deepest black possible, this lens is also equipped with a 16-step* lens aperture that enables

adjustment of brightness according to user preferences and operating environments.

Advanced video processor

Both projectors incorporate the HQV Reon-VX video processor developed by Silicon Optix,

which features precision I/P conversion and scaling with full 10-bit 4:4:4 signal processing.

Conventional projector with dynamic iris

The new 2009 D-ILA front projector models incorporate a number of advanced technologies such as JVC???s proprietary D-ILA device, a wire-grid optical engine, and high-performance lens. But what really differentiates JVC???s D-ILA projectors from other projectors is that they do not employ a dynamic iris. JVC???s D-ILA projectors instead use a fixed aperture to eliminate unnecessary light that can lower contrast levels, making possible some of the industry???s highest native contrast ratios. Innovations such as these and many other superb features

Clear Motion Drive

JVC???s DLA- HD950

enable the DLA-HD950 to achieve an exceptionally high native contrast ratio of 50,000:1*.

Enhanced brightness (extended white peak) and deeper, richer blacks (wide dynamic range) ensure image reproduction that is vivid and full of depth, making these projectors perfectly suited for viewing diverse content, such as movies and music videos as well as live concert performances and sports programs.

Inverse telecine (reverse 2-3 pull down)

Clear Motion Drive technology successfully generates an accurate intermediate frame even for images with fast-moving action by employing a high-precision interpolation algorithm that strengthens the precision of picture-character detection. Whether the video signal source is 60 fps broadcasting or 24 fps movie content, viewers can enjoy smoother and clearer images with reduced motion blurring thanks to this unique interpolation technique that optimizes the number of frames.

In order to display TV broadcasts or commercially available DVDs created using the 2-3 pull-down process, the inverse telecine (reverse 2-3 pull-down) function found on JVC???s D-ILA projectors re-converts the video source back to a 24 fps signal and displays it at double speed or

48 fps, ensuring cinema-like viewing that is very faithful to the original source.

The DLA-HD950 projector has been licensed with the ISF C3 (Certified Calibration Controls) mode, enabling trained dealers to professionally calibrate it to your choices of screen surface, lighting environments and video sources and then securely store precision settings into the projector. This helps to ensure reproduction of film or video content accurate to the source and excellent picture quality optimized for specific environments.

The DLA-HD950 projector features THX mode. This means the projector has passed the THX Certified Display Program, which is a series of tests conducted on display devices to verify the high definition display performance that home theater enthusiasts demand today, ensuring that the projector will always deliver superb picture quality faithful to the source.

Flexible and easy setup

Setting up the projector is easy as the ??80% vertical and ??34% horizontal lens shift function is powered, allowing the picture to be moved horizontally or vertically effortlessly via the remote controller.

And when positioning the projector outside of the lens shift coverage area, the Digital Keystone function with ??30??? vertical and ??40??? horizontal adjustment helps to make distorted images look more natural.

Also featured is a unique automatic lens cover that opens and closes with power on/off to protect against dust, so even if the projector is installed up on the ceiling, you???re assured of easy, trouble-free operation via the remote controller.

Newly designed remote control

The remote control unit for the new D-ILA projectors has an attractive silver-gray color that adds appeal to its performance. It also features well-positioned buttons for the picture modes (see page 3) and direct input selector (HDMI 1, 2, Component, Video, S-video and PC), which help to enhance user-friendly operation.

Quiet operation

Thanks to the enhanced efficiency of the cooling system, fan noise has been reduced to 19dB*, enabling the viewer to better concentrate on what???s being shown on the screen even in a very quiet room.
