JVCKENWOOD Canada will release the world’s smallest native 4K projectors DLA-NZ700/RS2200 and DLA-NZ500/RS1200 in late November. They will be new products in its home projector lineup, following the DLA-NZ900/RS4200 and DLA-NZ800/RS3200 currently on sale under the JVC brand.
Both models are the world’s smallest native 4K projectors. This was achieved by redesigning the projector’s optical unit, lens, and circuit board creating the third generation 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device for expandedresolution and higher brightness. Both models offer JVC’s proprietary BLU-Escent laser light source technology. Now, the entire D-ILA lineup is equipped with a laser light source to experience full-scale high-definition images in a compact design.
“We are excited to introduce these new projector models to our lineup, featuring enhanced capabilities in a smaller, lighter design,” said Greg Cameron, Vice President, Entertainment Solutions Division at JVCKENWOOD Canada. “These advancements ensure we’re meeting the evolving current and future needs of home theatre clients across Canada. Customers are looking for projectors that offer smaller footprints and improved operability with a laser light source. In addition, customers prefer projectors that are simple and easy to use with the new 4K HDR Content.”
Key Features
New Design Achieves the World’s Smallest Native 4K Projector Size. The optical unit, lens, and circuit board have all been redesigned to achieve the world’s smallest native 4K projector. The DLA-NZ700/NZ500/RS2200/RS1200 has a volume 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 uses significantly less plastic, which also reduces transportation costs. This leads to a product that is much more environmentally friendly.
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/RS2200 achieves a high brightness of 2,300lm and the DLA-NZ500/RS1200 2,000lm. Both models have a laser life expectancy of approximately 20,000 hours. The DLA-NZ700/RS2200’s brightness per watt of effective power is approximately 2 times that of the first model equipped with BLU-Escent Laser (the DLA-RS4500 was released in January 2017, with a brightness of
The new models feature FILMMAKER MODE, an image quality mode developed by UHD Alliance that aims to faithfully reproduce movies to the director’s standards in your private home theatre. When using FILMMAKER MODE, certain processing controls are turned off and the colour temperature is set to D65 (6500 K), so you can enjoy movies in true master quality. The CINEMA FILTER further enables the wide colour gamut of DCI-P3 film standards. HDR content typified by UHD Blu-ray, which has a much wider colour gamut, can be richly depicted with gradations of the sky and sea, contrasting crimson roses and rows of fresh green trees.
Pricing has yet to be announced but will be available early November 2024. JVC projectors are distributed in Canada by Sherpa Technology Group
