JVC DLA-NZ500 4K Laser Home Cinema Projector
0.69-inch Native 4K D-ILA Devices (x3) / 40,000:1 native contrast / New BLU-Escent Laser 2,000-lumen / Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR with Deeper Blacks / New Picture mode “Vivid"
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.
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.
0.69 inch native 4K D-ILA device enhances video quality
Our proprietary 0.69inch native 4K D-ILA device has been advanced to further enhance black details.
High native contrast
The DLA-NZ700/RS2200 achieves 80,000:1 native contrast by simultaneously improving alignment control and pixel flatness. : 40,000:1 for 'DLA-NZ500/RS1200'
Uniform brightness
The Manufacturing process has improved uniformity of brightness across the entire screen, with beautiful image quality to every corner.
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.
Superior Resolution
Newly designed large aperture (80mm, 11groups, 15lenses) 4K compatible lens delivers full native 4K D-ILA resolution to every corner of the screen.
Installation flexibility
Fully electric (Zoom, Focus, Shift), with 70% vertical and 28% horizontal shifts for easy installation.
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.
DML (Display Mastering Luminance) for Better HDR Experience
DML (Max Display Mastering Luminance) metadata, which represents the nit level of the professional monitor used to grade the movie to the director's standards, is used to set the dynamic range of the title for improved HDR tone mapping. On the DLA-NZ700/NZ500 series, both DML and MaxCLL values are used for the HDR levels.
HDR10 described
In HDR10, the basic standard for reproducing HDR content, there are only two pieces of information: MaxCLL, which represents the maximum brightness of the content, and MaxFALL, which represents the average maximum brightness. However with HDR10 , the luminance information for each scene is embedded in the content as metadata, which allows for scene-specific tone mapping and faithfully reproduces the HDR image intended by the creator.
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 sec
