14 DAY TRIAL // Just about every company out there wants to be on top of its game at this year's International CES, and that's also the case with JVC, who's just revealed the fact that they'll be showcasing on this important occasion its new THX 3D Certified projectors – the Procision Series DLA-X9 and DLA-X7.
The JVC projectors have simple, one button solutions for optimized playback of 3D and 2D movies – THX Cinema Mode to ensure that color reproduction, luminance, blacks, gamma and video processing matches what the filmmaker intended, and THX 3D Cinema Mode, which extends this same level of accuracy for 3D broadcasts and Blu-ray Discs.
The THX 3D Cinema Mode is designed to deliver highly accurate color in 3D, while minimizing sources of cross-talk and flicker and, for further fine-tuning, all THX Modes on JVC projectors can be accessed by THX Professional Calibrators.
For 3D content, each projector includes two HDMI 1.4a ports and supports side-by-side (broadcast), frame packing (Blu-ray Disc), and above-below 3D transmissions.
An external 3D Signal Emitter (PK-EM1) syncs the projected image with JVC’s Active Shutter 3D Glasses (PK-AG1), the device ensuring solid signal transmission to the 3D glasses for a superior 3D experience, no matter what type of screen is used or how the home theater has been configured.
The new flagship Procision projector, the DLA-X9, is built using hand-selected, hand-tested components and provides a 100,000:1 native contrast ratio while, for 3D display, it comes with two pairs of 3D glasses along with a PK-EM1 3D Signal Emitter.
The DLA-X7 offers 70,000:1 native contrast ratio and is compatible with JVC’s PK-AG1 Active Shutter 3D Glasses and the PK-EM1 3D Signal Emitter for 3D presentations.
Both projectors feature three 0.7” 1920 x 1080 D-ILA devices and are designed around JVC’s third generation D-ILA High Dynamic Range optical engine that is optimized to provide exceptional native contrast ratios without a dynamic iris to artificially enhance contrast specifications.
Naturally, given their impressive specs, it should come as no surprise that the new projectors from JVC are actually extremely expensive, the DLA-X9 selling for around $11,995, while the DLA-X7 goes as high as $7,995.
