High resolution. Natural color reproduction.
Home Theater is better than ever.
When it comes to video resolution, more pixels means a clearer image. JVC's DLA SX-21 projects an incredible 4.5 million pixels that converge
onto your screen to produce the most stunning, most accurate and highest resolution images possible. It's all due to JVC's exclusive D-ILA chip
technology, found in projectors that Hollywood executives use for screening and critical color analysis.
The SX-21's three D-ILA chips pump out rich color and high contrast without the "screen door" and rainbow effects that plague other projectors.
The DLA-SX21 delivers clarity and high resolution that was previously available only for the highest end, professional theaters. This clarity
and high resolution can now be the foundation for your state-of-the-art home theater.
The SX21 is a lot more than you'd expect from a home theatre projector, but everything you'd expect from JVC.
High performance video/cinema projection
Original JVC DIST
(Digital Image Scaling Technology)
JVC’s original DIST technology consists of IP conversion, pixel
density conversion and enhancer technology. Together these technologies ensure full correspondence with most DTV format signals,
as well as with conventional NTSC/PAL/SECAM signals. Input signals are converted to SXGA plus resolution with reduced flicker and
smear.

1080p (24, 25, 30) ,
1080p (24sF, 25sF, 30sF),
HDTV format compatibility
To ensure compatibility with DTV signals,
the DLA-SX21 accepts analog signals in the
720p, 1080i, 1080p and HDTV formats.
High contrast of 800:1
With extra-high contrast ratio of 800:1, the DLA-SX21 projects images with
sharp details, crisp edges and great depth. Even in a bright room, images are
clear, sharp and natural looking.
New technologies
True SXGA plus (1400 X 1050 pixels)
with D-ILA technology
The DLA-SX21 incorporates three high performance SXGA+ (1400
x 1050) 0.7" D-ILA devices (1.5M pixels x 3) with a total of 4.5M
individual RGB pixels. These pixels are converged on screen to
produce a stunning, high resolution picture with 1.5M high-density
converged pixels. The high-density, reflective liquid crystal structure
used in JVC’s original D-ILA (Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier)
technology achieves the optimal combination of brightness, resolution, contrast and color for the big screen. Thanks to the fine pitch
D-ILA device, images are smooth as silk, boasting incredible detail
and lush, vibrant, super-realistic color. Because small text, 3D computer graphics, animation and moving pictures are all displayed
clearly right into the corners, this system is ideal for multiscreen
applications. You'll be able to effectively combine each image with
other images for a more powerful, high-impact presentation.
Comparison of resolution of each device
0.7” SXGA Plus device
JVC has developed a powerful new optical engine that incorporates
PBS (Polarized Beam Splitter) circuits. The PBS circuits separate
light source into Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) components and
then use these RGB components to compose the image reproduced on-screen. Incorporated in the DLA-SX21, this original JVC
technology minimizes dissipation in the light path and suppresses
stray light in the prism, making it possible for this small 0.7" device
to deliver an impressive 1500 ANSI lumens with an enhanced contrast ratio.
Developed specially for the DLA-SX21, this all-new circuitry (shown
below) improves the sharpness, S/N, and color reproduction of
both graphics and video. Gray scales and shading correction levels
are also enhanced.
DPC: This section is newly designed to make
horizontal keystone possible, enabling the full
potential of SXGA plus machines to be
achieved.

JVC color profile
JVC’s color profile technology has been developed to ensure that
colors are reproduced with greater fidelity to the original. Important
color reproduction elements such as “color temperature”, “gamma”
and “RGB gamut” are optimized for each of four modes (sRGB,
MacRGB, AdobeRGB, EBU). Simply choose the mode that matches your source for best results.
4 color profile modes are available.
1 sRGB mode: Corresponds to the color reproduction and color space defined by the internation-
2 Mac mode: Gamma and gamut preset to match Mac computer standard color reproduction.
3 Adobe mode: Gamma and gamut settings optimized for Adobe applications such as
4 EBU mode: Suitable for broadcast video monitors.

H/V digital keystone correction
Keystone correction can
be performed horizontally
(Ⳳ10 degrees) and vertically (Ⳳ30 degrees).
So, projection is possible
offset at an angle, making
installation flexible.
Note : The maximum correction range is narrowed depending on the resolution and the combination of
horizontal and vertical corrections.
Capture User Logo function
Instead of a blue screen, you can project a customized image (such as a company logo) whenever no other signal is input. Use this function to add
a custom display for the interval between presentations.
DD: The drive IC (Device Driver) used in the
DLA-SX21’s D-ILA device is the same
advanced circuit used in our DLA-QX1 QXGA
ultra-high resolution projector, assuring optimum device operation according to the input
signals. This operation processing enables the
D-ILA device to express film-like gradations.

DPC: The pixel density conversion system achieves favorable frequency characteristics.
DSD: JVC’s original contour correction technology (DSD - Digital Super Detail) is able to
accurately control horizontal and vertical lines while suppressing the influence of oblique
lines. Also incorporated is a color difference signal enhancer without overshoot that minimizes smear in color details. Two additional enhancers (with overshoot and without overshoot) are provided to enhance expression of details.

User-friendly design
Easy-to-change lamp and low running cost
The lamp can be easily replaced from the side
and the filter from the front underside of the projector. An NSH lamp (high-pressure mercury
lamp) is used, so running cost is kept low. The
lamp life is approx. 2000 hours.
Easy installation
Installation is a snap, so you can take this
projector anywhere for a presentation without
worrying about setting it up. The feet can be
adjusted to optimize the projection angle.
The lamp replacement is easy. Just
remove the cover, unscrew the two
screws, and pull out the lamp. Place a
new lamp in the socket, screw it in,
and replace the cover.
Compact, portable design
Weighing only 13 lbs. (5.9 kg), this projector is compact enough to carry anywhere.

Digital shift
With Digital Shift, you can adjust the display position of the 16:9 image up or down
on the 4:3 screen. This gives you a lot more installation flexibility when using the
16:9 screen; for example, when suspending the projector from the ceiling.

New GUI on-screen display
The on-screen menu allows you to quickly make adjustments to various settings. The first and second menus are shown simultaneously for simple, systematic setting operation.
Wireless remote control unit
A wireless remote control unit with cursor keys is provided for
remote operation of the projector. The GUI on-screen menu can
also be operated with this remote control unit.
