It features three 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA devices, producing true 4K resolution with remarkable detail and clarity. A native contrast ratio of 40,000:1 enables deep blacks and excellent shadow detail, creating a highly immersive viewing experience. Powered by JVC’s new BLU-Escent laser light source, the DLA-NZ500W delivers up to 2,000 lumens of brightness while providing long-lasting and stable performance. The projector incorporates Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR technology with enhanced black-level performance, automatically optimizing HDR content scene by scene for improved contrast, brightness, and realism. Additionally, the new “Vivid” picture mode enhances color vibrancy and image impact, making content appear more dynamic and engaging across a wide range of viewing environments. 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 new projector models have been designed with environmental sustainability in mind, utilizing significantly less plastic in their construction compared to previous generations. This reduction in material usage not only minimizes the overall environmental impact of manufacturing but also contributes to lower transportation weight and costs. By optimizing both production and logistics, these projectors offer a more eco-friendly solution while maintaining the high performance and quality standards expected from the product range. 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 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. Proof of high-grade, high-quality projectors licensed with ISF Certifications All models are licensed with the ISF C3 (Certified Calibration Controls) mode, enabling trained dealers to professionally calibrate them to desired screen surfaces, lighting environments and video sources, and then securely store these precise settings into the projector. 6-axis Color Management System A 6-axis matrix of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow enables the precise adjustment of hue, saturation, and intensity. Users can make adjustments suitable for the content as the projector allows precise management of colors. Auto Calibration function Using an optical sensor and proprietary software 2, optimum calibration can be applied in just a few easy steps to match the changes in optical characteristics caused by the installation situation of the projector. Auto-Calibration optimizes all essential elements found in the image, including color balance, gamma characteristics, color space, and color tracking. In the past, multiple calibrations were required, but now it's possible to complete the calibration with a single calibration. 2: An optical sensor and proprietary software, which is downloadable from JVC website, are required to perform auto calibration function.
