JVC DLA-NZ900 8K E-Shift 4K HDR Laser Projector

Gen2 8K/e-shiftX technology: Perfect 8K image reproduction

The second generation of JVC's proprietary 8K/e-shiftX technology doubles the resolution of a 4K signal by shifting each sub-image by 0.5 pixels in all four directions (left, right, up, down), achieving pixel-perfect 8K resolution. This improved 8K scaling increases the projector's sharpness performance and delivers incredible detail even from 8K sources.

Higher brightness and longevity thanks to BLU-Escent Laser

A key factor in the performance of the D-ILA projector is the BLU-Escent laser with blue laser diodes. The DLA-NZ900 achieves a maximum light output of 3,300 lumens, the DLA-NZ800 2,700 lumens, and both are designed for a service life of at least 20,000 operating hours.

HQ all-glass lens for impressive detail sharpness at 4K and 8K resolutions

The DLA-NZ900 is equipped with an all-glass lens with an aluminum housing that consists of 18 optical elements in 16 groups. To perfectly display high-resolution images at every point on the projection surface, the projector uses ED lenses that are calibrated for the respective refractive index of the RGB colors. This prevents chromatic aberrations and color fringing, even when using the lens shift. The result is precise reproduction of 4K or 8K content with the highest level of detail.

Excellent black level and high light output for realistic image projections

The third generation of the 0.69 inch 4K D-ILA chip offers an outstanding contrast ratio. In combination with the dynamic laser light control, which analyzes the incoming video signal and automatically adjusts the amount of light, a dynamic contrast ratio of 8:1 can be achieved by completely switching off the light source in extremely dark scenes. This enables image projections that are very close to human perception. In addition, the new algorithm allows more precise control of the laser for optimal individual image adjustments.

2nd generation Frame Adapt HDR for more dynamics and color depth in HDR content

The second generation of the Frame Adapt HDR function continuously analyzes the maximum brightness of each image and scene of an HDR10 film. This enables dynamic adjustment of brightness, color and detail sharpness in real time. The tone mapping algorithm developed by JVC has been completely revised to achieve HDR representation with greater color depth and resolution. In addition, the algorithm for adjusting the tone curve has been improved so that HDR content can be reproduced brighter, more colorful and with a greater dynamic range.

8K60p input for ultra-high resolution 8K signals and 4K120p input for optimal gaming

The new D-ILA models support high-resolution video signals up to 48Gbps 8K60p. Thanks to highly integrated microchips of the latest design, the enormous data volumes of an 8K signal can be processed and displayed correctly. The result is detailed, extremely realistic video images with full color and contrast range. The 4K120p input with low latency mode reduces the delay time during image processing, ensuring optimal synchronization of operating operations, image display and sound even with 4K games.

Deep Black Function

The new Deep Black function adjusts the black level of dark scenes in Frame Adapt HDR mode so that night scenes appear much more realistic. This function optimizes the dynamic range of the new 4K D-ILA components and delivers a greater contrast range than ever before. This makes nighttime or dimly lit interior scenes appear even more realistic.

HDR dramatically improves realistic image representation

The new D-ILA projectors are ideal for displaying the extensive information of HDR content, including the enormous brightness range, the extended BT.2020 color space and the 10-bit gradation. These models support all HDR formats, including HDR10 for UHD Blu-ray and streaming, HLG for broadcasting and the new HDR10+ format with dynamic metadata compatibility. Combined with the higher light output and the wider contrast range, the display of HDR films becomes an unforgettable cinema experience.
