❚ Incredible native contrast ratio: 70,000:1

The DLA-HD990 D-ILA front projector incorporates a number of
advanced technologies such as JVC’s proprietary D-ILA device, a
wire-grid optical engine, and high-performance lens with a fixed aperture
to help eliminate unnecessary light that can lower contrast levels to make
possible a high native contrast ratio of 70,000:1. Enhanced brightness
and deeper, richer blacks make the DLA-HD990 ideal for viewing diverse
content, from movies and music videos to live concert performances and
sports programs.

Iris off

With iris off, bright scenes are brighter but black level is also lighter than
it should be; however, with iris on, dark scenes are darkened and peak
values also become darker.

❚ 120Hz Clear Motion Drive

120Hz Clear Motion Drive’s high-precision interpolation algorithm
enhances the precision of picture-character detection to generate an
accurate intermediate frame even for images with rapid movement.
Whether broadcasting signal or movie content, viewers can enjoy
smoother and clearer images with reduced motion blurring thanks to this
unique interpolation technique that optimizes the number of frames.

❚ Inverse telecine (reverse 2-3 pulldown)

To display TV broadcasts or commercially available DVDs created using
the 2-3 pulldown process, the inverse telecine function re-converts the
video source back to a 24fps signal and displays it at double speed or 48
fps, ensuring cinema-like viewing faithful to the original source.

❚ JVC’s original picture modes

Detailed analysis of the additive color mixture method for projectors and
the subtractive color mixture method for film in movie theaters made
possible an optimized picture display using a built-in LSI that reproduces
all the delicate textures and nuances of film in a home theater
environment.

❚ Screen adjustment mode

As the quality of projected images varies depending on the type of screen
and its RGB reflective characteristics, JVC D-ILA projectors have three
screen adjustment modes that enable users to select the optimum mode to
match screen characteristics for more natural and balanced color
reproduction.

❚ Notable industry certifications

• ISF (Imaging Science Foundation)

The DLA-HD990 has been licensed with the ISF C
Controls) mode, enabling trained dealers to professionally calibrate it to
specific screen surfaces, lighting environments, and video sources. These
precise settings are then stored into the projector to ensure reproduction
of film or video content accurate to the source and excellent picture
quality in all viewing situations.

• THX

The DLA-HD990 has passed the THX Certified Display Program — a
series of tests conducted on display devices to verify the high-definition
display performance that home theater enthusiasts demand today,
ensuring that the projector will always deliver superb picture quality faithful
to the source.
