JVC Demonstrates HDTV-Ready Equipment At The CEDIA Expo í99

Specific HDTV-capable models on hand included high impact 1500 Lumen HD projectors (DLA-G15 D-ILA projector), the newest JVC-manufactured flat panel plasma monitor (GD-V4200PZW), and JVC's W-VHS HDTV SR-W7 VTR. On the audio front, JVC is showed the RX-1028VBK multi-room/multi-source controller. At CEDIA, JVC also showed its proprietary DLA-G15 Direct-Drive Image Light Amplifier (D-ILA(TM)) projector, the newest breakthrough in D-ILA display technology. The DLA-G15 gives home theatre enthusiasts one of the best and brightest pictures outside of the cinema. Offering superb brightness of 1,500 ANSI lumens and unrivaled High Definition resolution - including either true 720P or 1080i - JVC's DLA-G15 is also convenient, compact and lightweight. JVC's DLA-G15 data and video projector is 50 percent brighter than JVC's renowned DLA-G10, giving even more impact to the picture. JVC's D-ILA projectors are easy to install and work with all video formats. This is significant since as there is no convergence in the broadcast market yet, it makes sense for professionals and consumers to gravitate to a projection platform like D-ILA which can handle any line resolution or picture sampling, resulting in the best image quality possible. JVC's DLA-G15 is the perfect solution for CRT replacements, giving both beautiful picture quality and lasting value while the videotape marketplace matures. ""The home theatre market is expanding exponentially as theatrical-quality products are becoming affordable. JVC's revolutionary D-ILA technology is an example the best of both worlds - prices dropping while quality is increasing. We are now able to provide cinematic-style projection technology in a portable, lightweight unit ideal for advanced home theatres. At JVC, we're engineering audio and video components that will define the home theatre of the 21st century, "" said David Walton, Marketing Communications Manager for JVC Professional Products Company.
