30000:1 Contrast Ratio Projectors from JVC

JVC has expanded its 1080p home theater projector line with the introduction of two new high definition projectors that achieve a native contrast ratio of 30,000:1.

By avoiding artificial means of inflating contrast specifications, such as a dynamic iris, the D-ILA projectors simultaneously deliver true blacks and sparkling luminance detail, providing a notably enriched cinematic experience. The new projectors are the DLA-HD100, to be marketed by JVC’s consumer group, JVC Company of America, and the DLA-RS2, from JVC’s professional group, JVC Professional Products Company.

To attain a native contrast ratio of 30,000:1, the projectors employ original and proprietary JVC technology in the 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA devices and optical engine used in both models. Three D-ILA devices are used, one each for red, green and blue. The projectors also offer HDMI 1.3, improved color rendition by broadening the color space, a motorized Fujinon 2x zoom lens, and customized on-screen gamma control.
