JVC DLA-NZ500 D-ILA Projector

All Components Redesigned

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

Volume Reduction

The DLA-NZ700 / NZ500 / RS2200 / RS1200 has a dimension reduction of 35% compared to the previous DLA-NZ7/RS2100, while still incorporating a laser light source and native 4K D-ILA device.

Re-design of Air Intake and Exhaust

By placing the heat source exhaust at the rear, the potential impact of the image on the projection screen has been eliminated. This provides more flexibility for installation.

Third-generation 0.69 inch native 4K D-ILA device enhances video quality

Our proprietary 0.69inch native 4K D-ILA device has been advanced to the third generation to further enhance black details.　

Uniform brightness

The Manufacturing process has improved uniformity of brightness  across the entire screen, with beautiful image quality to every corner.

Low latency

Low Latency design further improves response to the player’s rapid operations, making it effective for displaying high frame-rate gaming content on large screens.

High Brightness and Long Life

JVC’s proprietary laser light source technology, Blu-Escent, 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 laser life expectancy of approximately 20,000 hours.

Improved Power Efficiency

The DLA-NZ700 / NZ500’s brightness per watt of effective power is approximately 2 times that of the first model equipped with BLU-Escent Laser (the DLA-Z1 was released in January 2017, with a brightness of 3,000lm).

Controlling the Luminance in 101 Steps

BLU-Escent Laser can finely adjust the luminance according to the environment and preference using the Light Source Control by slider adjustment. 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.

HDR Drastically Improves Expressive Power of Images

When it comes to reproducing the rich video information of HDR content, including the extended brightness range, BT.2020 wide color gamut and 10-bit gradation, rely on the new D-ILA projectors. Both models support all HDR formats including HDR10 for Blu-ray and streaming, HLG for broadcasting, and the HDR10+ with dynamic metadata compatibility. The projectors’ improvements for higher brightness and contrast have helped to achieve a wider dynamic range, allowing users to enjoy an immersive experience with HDR images full of reality.

Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR Function for Brighter and More Colorful HDR Images

The Frame Adapt HDR function, which uses a proprietary algorithm to instantaneously analyze the maximum brightness of any HDR10 content per scene or per frame and perform real-time tone mapping to optimal dynamic range for video projection, has evolved into the second generation (Gen2). The algorithm for tone mapping has been fully reexamined to achieve HDR images with higher definition. Furthermore, the proprietary algorithm for tone curve selection has also been improved to reproduce HDR images that are brighter, more colorful and have a wider dynamic range.

Deeper Blacks for Richer Gradation

The new Deep Black Tone Control has been added to Frame Adapt HDR, with a new algorithm to further subdue tones in dark areas to achieve more realistic darkness. This function maximizes 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 nightscapes can be projected with greater realism.

Equipped with Vivid picture mode that reproduces SDR content in rich colors

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 animation, in bright, rich colors and clear images.

Environmental Considerations

The design of the new projector models use significantly less plastic, which also reduces transportation costs. This leads to a product that is much more environmentally friendly.
