Exquisitely natural textures and lm-like picture quality —
JVC’s new D-ILA projectors are true to life.
Accurate colour reproduction is critical for enjoying high quality video content, and JVC, which has long been
dedicated to ensuring that its D-ILA projectors deliver lm-like picture quality, is now focusing its expertise on
creating the ultimate in colour reproduction technology. As a result of these efforts, JVC has succeeded in
mation within individual colour proles to achieve colour reproduction far more faithful to the original source.
ment of a new optical engine designed to improve contrast and provide a wider colour reproduction spectrum.
What’s more, the quest for authentic replication of the original source has led to the development of a colour
temperature setting equivalent to that of a Xenon lamp, which offers a near daylight spectrum. This kind of
passion for excellence by JVC helps to ensure the exquisite reproduction of lm-like texture in all images just
as can be seen in cinemas, with nuances of each scene superbly detailed.
This means that in addition to outstanding colour reproduction, D-ILA projectors will provide you with an
accurate, true-to-life view of what the creator of the original source had envisioned. See the qualit y for
yourself, and discover the exciting potential of JVC projector performance.

Add dynamic 3D stereoscopic images, and the excitement begins.
D-ILA projection in 3D*
It is now possible to enjoy the excitement of 3D stereoscopic images in the comfort of
your living room without using a special screen. JVC’s DLA-X7 and DLA-X3 employ a
Frame Sequential 3D method to display left and right images simultaneously, which, when
viewed with a pair of 3D Active Shutter glasses that darken alternately for each eye,
enable 3D images to be viewed. Additionally, the fast response characteristics and picture
quality offered by D-ILA technology allow viewers to enjoy vivid and colourful 3D images
with far less cross-talk or image ghosting. The DLA-X7 and DLA-X3 projectors are com-
patible with a variety of 3D formats including Frame Packing for Blu-ray 3D, Side-by-Side
(used mainly for broadcasting), and Top-and-Bottom.
*Optional 3D Glasses (PK-AG1) and 3D Synchro Emitter (PK-EM1) are required for viewing images in 3D.
Note: Keystone, anamorphic mode, and certain other functions cannot be used while projecting in 3D mode.

High-quality cinema viewing at home that’s beyond all expectations!
JVC’s exclusive Real Colour Imaging Technology
Film-making in general is a time-consuming process requiring considerable effort by its creators, and
at JVC, we focused on enhancing colour space information to ensure that all images are reproduced as faithfully to the original source as possible. To accomplish this, JVC precisely analysed the colour
information of original lm prints to create exclusive colour proles, which led to the development of its innovative Real Colour Imaging Technology. This technology precisely detects the colour speci­cations in lm to not only optimise colour replication, but also to heighten picture quality to levels that
go beyond expectations.
Colour temperature setting of a Xenon lamp
In yet another way to achieve a lm-like picture, the Real Colour Imaging Technology incorporates a colour temperature setting equivalent to that of a Xenon lamp, a popular light source used in cinemas.
A Xenon mode colour temperature setting allows for the authentic reproduction of colours similar those
of lm in cinemas, while using highly efcient and
economical ultra-high pressure mercury lamps.

70,000:1 native contrast ratio is achieved
The newly developed optical engine features a new wire grid and a redesigned aperture that reduce excess light leakage to negligible levels, making possible a remarkable 70,000:1 native contrast ratio. High con-
trast and lm-like quality offered by the original D-ILA devices also help to
ensure smoother greyscale, truer black levels and more depth.

New Colour Management System with 7-axis matrix
In addition to the ordinary 6-axis matrix of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow, the new Colour Management System features a seventh matrix of orange to ensure the precise adjustment of hue, saturation, and intensity. The addition of the orange axis also helps in enhancing the selection of the colour spectrum for skin tones. And for improved operability, only the colour being adjusted will be shown on the screen while the others are displayed in black and white.
Adobe RGB for a wider colour reproduction spectrum
The new optical engine achieves a greater expansion of the colour spec-
trum by employing an innovative colour lter. This results in a full-spectrum
of colour reproduction with complete coverage of different colour spaces
such as Adobe RGB, DCI, and HDTV with a 20%* increase in the colour
reproduction spectrum compared to conventional JVC projector models. With this increase in colour space, the new optical engine can more vividly reproduce colours such as the green of trees, the blue of
oceans, etc., which were difcult to
recreate accurately up until now.

New screen adjustment modes*
JVC has focused on individual screen characteristics to ensure the faithful reproduction of lm-like picture quality. By improving upon the screen cor­rection modes found on conventional models, these new screen adjustment
modes analyse the RGB reective characteristics of the screen being used to
achieve optimum correction. The user can select an optimal parameter from a set of 94 parameters for an outstanding picture with natural colour balance.
*Please refer to the JVC website for the comparison table of primary screens and adjustment modes.
Displays only the colour being adjusted; others are displayed in black and white.
JVC original Film Tone
Until now, attempting to correct brightness or contrast settings as desired
caused black or white levels to shift incorrectly with each setting. In order to overcome this issue, JVC has developed an original Film Tone function, which works to balance gamma, contrast, and brightness settings without affecting the grey scaling of the source to enable brightness adjustment that better matches the ambient environment.
Darkness and lightness correction
Adjustment of grey level, another essential factor for creating high-quality
images, can be corrected by separating darkness and lightness levels. By enabling darkness and lightness correction, the desired levels of gradation can be achieved without the tedious gamma correction process of conventional models.

New Clear Motion Drive improves pictures with rapid movement
As an original manufacturer of high-speed drive technology, JVC has fur­ther enhanced its detection interpolation technology through high-precision interpolation algorithms to develop a new Clear Motion Drive that helps to smooth movement in the picture. By reducing blur that can be generated in high-speed scenes such as sports events, etc., the new Clear Motion Drive, featured on the DLA-X7 and X3 models, makes the overall picture much smoother and clearer. Additionally, as the amount of picture delay is very limited, these projectors are also well suited for playing video games.
