JVCís DLA-HD2K-SYS Provides Cinema-Quality High-Definition Images For The Home Theatre

16-Sep-04

JVC Professional Products Company announced that it is now shipping the DLA-HD2K-SYS home theater projection system. Featuring three of JVCís high definition (HD) Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier (D-ILA) devices and an advanced digital video processor, the DLA-HD2K-SYS produces the highest quality home theater images available to date. With higher native resolution than found in most digital cinema projectors, the DLA-HD2K-SYS enables viewers to enjoy true cinema-quality images in their home theater environments at a cost considerably lower than the nearest three-chip counterpart. Compared to other projectors that claim to broadcast HD images in 720p, the DLA-HD2K-SYSís 1920 x 1080 resolution precisely matches the resolution of HD broadcasts and recordings. JVCís exclusive D-ILA chip technology uses an advanced form of Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) that is capable of greater pixel density than competing projection technologies such as DLP or LCD. Previously, much larger chips were required to obtain the same level of resolution, and resulted in large, bulky and very expensive projectors. The DLA-HD2K-SYS is JVC's first home theater projector offering native 1920 x 1080 resolution and is by far the industryís smallest, lightest and most cost-effective full-HD projector.ìThe images produced on the DLA-HD2K-SYS are nothing short of stunning. There is such a realism in the projected images that viewers find themselves starting to concentrate on a lot of other facets in the picture, such as detail print in a characterís shirt fabric or the texture of the wallpaper,î Gary Klasmeier, Product Marketing Manager D-ILA Products of JVC Professional Products Company. ìItís incredible how clear and clean these fine details come out on this projector; it enhances the movie experience in new, unexpected ways.î Movies viewed on the DLA-HD2K-SYS are produced with natural but deeply saturated colors and the 1920 x 1080 resolution closely matches the look of film, so viewers enjoy the highest quality images with original picture detail. A 2000:1 contrast ratio allows for deep rich cinema-quality blacks with smooth gradations and low noise, particularly in darker areas of less than 20 percent video level. Color temperature is factory-set to D65 assuring accurate color reproduction and rich, natural colors. Using JVCís proprietary optical engine, the DLA-HD2K-SYS is specifically designed to produce cinema standard illumination levels on 16x9 screens found in elite home theaters today.The DLA-HD2K-SYS is equipped with a separate digital video processor co-developed with Faroudja, a company renowned worldwide for creating powerful video processing and technologies. The video processor can be connected to various home theater video components and accepts a wide variety of video inputs including 480i/480p/720p/1080i via analog or digital inputs and is fully HDCP compliant. The unit is capable of converting standard analog and digital DVI video to a high-resolution digital video signal, which can be transmitted via the DVI-D connector to the projector. Unlike bulky one-piece units, the DLA-HD2K projector head is only (11-23/32 inches x 5-9/32 inches x 14-3/16 inches or 298 x 134 x 360mm) and weighs a mere 13.2 lbs. A smaller-size, two-piece design allows for a clean and simple, less conspicuous installation as the camera is more flexible and easier to hang from a ceiling. It is connected to the digital video processor by a single zero-loss digital cable (DVI-D) transmitting the 1080/60p signal. The projector head and processor can be separated by up to 160 feet. This configuration keeps the cabling to other electronic components at an absolute minimum while preserving full digital quality at the projector head.
