This home theater D-ILA projector featuring 8K/e-shiftX proprietary technology is the world first* model with 8K/ 60p/ 4K120p input to reproduce flawless 8K-quality image from 4K signals. 4K120p input with Low Latency mode makes the projector ideal for gaming. Its three native 4K D-ILA devices, and high-quality 65 mm glass lens project high-resolution images to every corner of the screen. Proprietary BLU-Escent laser diode supports to project high-resolution 8K images with depth and dimension that are closer to human perception. The projector boasts industry leading HDR performance with the latest HDR10+. Best of all, the model can add new features through a firmware update** including laser dynamic control that improves content with a greater sense of contrast, improved Frame Adapt HDR with three modes plus HDR Quantizer, and the FILMMAKER MODE (TM) for faithful reproduction of the filmmakers intentions.

Essential all-glass lens to depict all the data in the 8K image

The high-end DLA-NZ9 is equipped with an 18-element, 16-group all-glass lens featuring a full aluminium lens barrel*1. To project highresolution 8K images to every corner of the screen, the projector incorporates five ED lenses calibrated for differences in the R/G/B refractive index to reduce chromatic aberration and colour fringing when lens shift kicks in to deliver precise reproduction of 4K- or 8K-resolution*2 projection.

*1: 65 mm diameter, 17-element, 15-group all glass lens is featured on the DLA-NZ8, NZ7 and N5 models. *2: Resolution varies depending on the model.

Reliability-proved BLU-Escent Laser Diode for
exceptional brightness and longevity

The light source for these projectors is the latest blue laser diode BLU-Escent, which is featured in JVC projectors. BLUEscent technology has been adopted for home theatre projectors to achieve exceptional brightness and longevity of 20,000 hours*. Laser diode allows dynamic control of brightness to reproduce images that are closer to human perception. Combining the latest BLU-Escent package with the D-ILA device achieves detailed, smooth, powerful video expression.

*In theory, this amounts to 20 years or more while watching a 2.5-hour movie every day.

HDR10+ Support allows a choice for two dynamic
tone mappings

When it comes to reproducing the rich video information of HDR content including the extended brightness range, BT.2020 wide colour gamut and 10-bit gradation, rely on one of the new D-ILA projectors. New models support all HDR formats including HDR10 for Blu-ray and streaming, HLG for broadcasting, and the latest HDR10+ signal format with dynamic metadata compatibility.

JVC projectors are compatible with the two dynamic tone mappings of HDR10+ and Frame Adapt HDR. HDR10+ contains the metadata of the producer’s intentions for each scene, Frame Adapt HDR instantly analyses the peak brightness in HDR10 content using an original algorithm. Ensuring you can watch any HDR content in optimal picture quality.

4K120p input ideal for Low Latency Mode

Because these projectors are equipped with 4K120p input, signal latency is infinitesimal, making it effective when displaying high frame-rate gaming content on large screens.
