JVC DLA-NZ500/B Projector, 4096 x 2160 4K UHD, 2000 Lumen

All components redesigned

The optical unit, lens and circuit board have all been redesigned to create the world's smallest native 4K projector.

Highlights:

• Completely re-engineered interior and exterior design results in the world's smallest native 4K projector
• New BLU-Escent laser light source
• New, high-quality 80 mm lens with 15 elements and 11 groups
• Native contrast ratio of 40.000:1 is equivalent to a spectacular dynamic contrast ratio of ∞ :1
• 2x HDMI (32 Gbps, HDCP 2.3) inputs that support 4K60P input signals
• HDR10+ metadata is supported to automatically reproduce images as the creator intended.
• Frame Adapt HDR performs dynamic tone mapping of HDR10 content frame by frame or scene by scene and automatically makes adjustments to achieve optimal images. It includes improved gamma processing accuracy from 12- to 18-bit equivalent to reproduce smoother and finer gradations.
• The Auto Tone Mapping function automatically adjusts settings for optimal HDR10 picture quality.
• Colour management system with 6-axis matrix
• Wide Colour Gamut exceeds the DCI/P3 specification for saturated, beautiful images that come to life.

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 a life expectancy of around 20,000 hours.

Superior resolution

The newly developed 4K-compatible lens with large aperture (80 mm, 11 groups, 15 lenses) delivers full native 4K D-ILA resolution in every corner of the screen.

Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR function for brighter and more colourful HDR images

The Frame Adapt HDR function, which uses a proprietary algorithm to instantly analyse the maximum brightness of each HDR10 content per scene or per frame and perform real-time tone mapping for optimal dynamic range for video projection, has been further developed in the second generation (Gen2). The tone mapping algorithm has been completely redesigned to achieve higher resolution HDR images. In addition, the proprietary tone curve selection algorithm has been improved to reproduce HDR images that are brighter, more colourful and have a wider dynamic range.

Deeper black tones for richer gradations

Frame Adapt HDR has been enhanced with the new Deep Black Tone Control, which uses a new algorithm to further attenuate tones in dark areas to achieve a 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 night landscapes, can be projected more realistically.
