JVC DLA-RS1 delivers 15,000:1 native contrast ratio

JVC expands its D-ILA home theater projector line-up with the introduction of the high definition DLA-RS1 projector, featuring its newly developed 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA device that achieves a native 15,000:1 contrast ratio without the need for dynamic iris or other artificial means of contrast enhancement. While the DLA-RS1 is targeted for the finest home theater installations, it is being introduced at a price that should make it accessible to a much wider range of home cinema buffs.

The DLA-RS1 encompasses next generation D-ILA -- fully digital driven --, while the chip technology in a 3-panel design eliminates the mechanical spinning color separation wheel and "rainbow" effects found in other technologies. Additionally, each of the three D-ILA chips has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 allowing the projector to fully display a full HD 1080p signal without scaling. Furthermore JVC's new optical design provides a native contrast ratio of more than 15,000 to 1.

The projector is equipped with dual HDMI input (PC and HDTV HDCP) accepts full HD 1080p signals provided by Blu-ray. Component, composite, and S-Video inputs are also provided. Via its RS-232 port, the unit can be externally operated by popular home theater automation controllers. Additionally, the projector features a video adjustment menu that allows users to adjust the picture according to the source video as well as their own preferences.

The recommended list price for the DLA-RS1 is $6,295 and will be available Q1 2007.
