JVC DLA-NX9B

The JVC DLA-NX9B is the flagship model in JVC’s new native lamped 4K resolution line up. THX 4K Display Certification featuring D-ILA display technology, native 4096 x 2160 resolution, an 18 element all glass lens with 80% vertical and 34% horizontal lens shift, the DLA-NX9 is a premium 4K home cinema projector with premium features.



High dynamic Range content is also supported with support for HDR10 and HLG formats as well as 4K60P (4:4:4) signals.

“e-shift” is JVC’s proprietary high-resolution display technology that
shifts a pixel by 0.5 pixels vertically and horizontally to achieve 4 times
the pixel density of the original content. Ahead of the competition,
JVC KENWOOD developed the 4K/e-shift technology in 2011. Ever since,
this technology has evolved and received a favourable response for its
high resolution near native 4K using the FHD device.
The 8K/e-shift technology adopted for the DLA-NX9 combines the
“e-shift” technology with another proprietary technology, Multi Pixel
Control, to convert Full HD and 4K-resolution images into 8K-equivalent
resolution (8192 horizontal by 4320 vertical pixels). The result is an eyeopening,
high-definition display that is very close to the original subject. (The projector does not support 8K signal input.)



D-ILA projectors continue to evolve for the better, the projection device is at the heart of the
projector. The JVC DLA-NX9 features an original native 0.69″ 4K D-ILA device, which was first
adopted on the flagship Laser JVC DLA-Z1. This device has been improved with process
refinements on planarisation and reflection efficiency to achieve higher contrast and brightness.
Additionally, a dedicated driver LSI was also enhanced to simultaneously drive each of the three (R/G/
B) native 4K D-ILA devices at high-speed 120fps. This ultra high-speed driving is enabled by adopting
the latest high bandwidth memory (HBM) technology and uses a silicon interposer to process a large
amount of data instantaneously. Furthermore, stable high-quality image projection can be achieved
by equipping the new driver LSI with an original frame rate converter and various device correction
functions. As a result, precise and smooth image projection unique to 4K native can be achieved with
the combination of a new device and new driver LSI.

The DLA-NX9 is the world’s first 8K/e-shift home theatre projector featuring new 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device with a whole new external design. 8K/e-shift technology together with its 100mm diameter all-glass lens achieves 8K-equivalent resolution (8192 x 4230) that rivals reality even on large screens. Unique Multiple Pixel Control technology converts FHD and 4K images to high-definition 8K images. Auto Tone Mapping function which automatically adjust settings based on the mastering information projects HDR10 content at optimum quality. Combining brightness of 2,200 lm, dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, and wide colour gamut covering beyond the DCI-P3 range, the projector faithfully reproduces latest content including HDR10 and HLG. Renewed Clear Motion Drive together with Motion Enhance significantly reduces motion blur. Go further, and be the first to experience the high-definition, high-quality images exceeding 4K.



4K Native and 8K/e-shift Projection



8K Home Theatre Projection Achieved by Combining Native 4K and “e-shift” Technology

“E-shift” is JVC’s proprietary high-resolution display technology that shifts a pixel by 0.5 pixels vertically and horizontally to achieve 4 times the pixel density of the original content. The 8K/e-shift technology adopted for the DLA-NX9 combines “e-shift” technology with another proprietary technology, Multi Pixel Control, to convert Full HD and 4K-resolution images into 8K-equivalent resolution (8192 horizontal by 4320 vertical). The result is an eyeopening, high-definition display that is very close to the original subject*1.

*1: The projector does not support 8K signal input.







High quality, all glass lens



All glass, high-resolution lens with full aluminium lens barrel

The DLA-NX9 is equipped with an 18-element, 16-group all-glass lens featuring a full aluminium lens barrel. In order to project high-resolution images to every corner of the screen with the 100 mm diameter lens offering wide lens shift of ±100% vertically and ±43% horizontally, the projector adopts five ED lenses that take into account 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 8K-resolution projection. The DLA-N7 and DLA-N5 models feature a 17-element, 15-group all glass lens with 65 mm diameter to project fully focused 4K native resolution to all corners of the screen.



   



High Dynamic Range (HDR)



Support for HDR (High Dynamic Range)

HDR (high dynamic range) content contains more data including an extended brightness range, 10-bit gradation and a wide BT.2020 colour gamut. For this reason, high basic performance is required for precise reproduction by the projector. With D-ILA projectors, HDR content are optimally reproduced with “high-brightness, high contrast, and wide gamut” to enjoy high quality HDR content as you’ve never experienced in the past. Moreover, in addition to HDR10 content, which is found on UHD Blu-ray Discs, the projector automatically detects the Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) signal, a technology used widely in broadcasting, allowing the user to view it in an optimum picture mode.







Auto Tone Mapping



Automatic Adjustment with Auto Tone Mapping *5

The Auto Tone Mapping function featured on the latest models automatically adjusts each content based on the values in the mastering data, such as Max CLL and Max FALL*6, which indicate the brightness of the HDR content. Image quality is automatically adjusted for optimal viewing of various HDR images with different brightness.

*5: Content without mastering info is set at fixed level or can be adjusted manually.

*6: Max CLL (stands for Maximum Content Light Level); Max FALL (stands for Maximum Frame Average Light Level)







Brighter, High Contrast, Wide Gamut



High-quality, Clear Picture with Brightness

Maximum brightness of 2,200 lm*2 can be achieved by combining a 265 W ultra high-pressure mercury lamp and a highly efficient optical engine. *2: Achieved on the DLA-NX9.



Images Full of Presence with D-ILA’s High Contrast

JVC’s original D-ILA device combined with an optical engine equipped with a wire grid results in a high native contrast ratio of 100,000:1*3. Combined with Intelligent Lens Aperture, a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 can be achieved*3. *3: Figures for the DLA-NX9.



Vivid Images through a Wide Range of Colours

By using a new cinema filter, the projector achieves not only 100% coverage of the BT.709 but also coverage beyond the DCI-P3*4 display range used in film production. The wide color gamut ensures a more accurate reproduction of HDR content and natural gradations. *4: DLA-NX9 and DLA-N7.
