First Pics from the new JVC HD 350/JV HD 750 and specifications - Page 5

Maybe that's a prototype not the production model; looks kind of scruffy.

if prototype, that means we're months away from production?

DLA-HD750 and DLA-HD350
New JVC DILA Projectors Break New Ground in Colour and Sharpness

"True Black" Premium D-ILA Home Theatre Front Projectors
with Bright Images and Deep True Black Levels, Ease of Use and Flexible Adjustment

JVC (Victor Company of Japan, Ltd..), A leading innovator in award wining projection technology, proudly introduces
new Full High-definition D-ILA Home Theatre Projectors that break new ground in colour accuracy and sharpness,
ease of use and flexible adjustment. The new JVC projectors give the enthusiast or home user brighter more intense
images with the choice of the industry's highest native contrast ratio without auto iris.1
With the new high end model DLA-HD750 and superbly functional DLA-HD350, JVC expands its True Black ILA
projector line up, joining the current DLA-HD100 and HD1, introduced In February and November 2007, which broke
new ground with their signature, industry highest2 native contrast ratio of 15000:1 or 30000:1, and earned a
well-deserved reputation and awards from the front projection community for top performance.
Complementing these excellent products, the new models also feature enhanced 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA devices
and optical engine that attain ultra-high native contrast ratios for the super-smooth images and reference grade deep, true
black levels without a trace of grey.

* 1 As of 28 August, 2008. DLA-HD750 achieved native contrast ratio 30000:1 as home theatre projector. (JVC Internal Survey)
* 2 As of November 2006 DLA-HD1 achieved native contrast ratio of 15000:1 and September, 2007 DLA-HD100 achieved
native contrast ratio 30000:1 as home theatre projectors. (JVC Internal Survey)

The projectors comply with HDMI ver. 1.3 (Deep Color / CEC) specifications, which provide for billions of colours
and reproduce subtle shades of grey, and CEC compatibility for system control. Phenomenal depth of picture detail,
thanks to Full HD 1080p resolution, and sensational native contrast ratios ensure exceptional vividness and accuracy
of colour, enabling the viewer to enjoy velvety images that promise an absolutely bright and brilliant cinematic
experience in the comfort of one's living room and home theatre.

New Performance Features

1. Once again, the industry's highest native contrast ratio of 30000:1
JVC's proprietary 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA devices and wire-grid optical engine once again deliver the industry's highest
native contrast ratio, which means that an auto iris is not being used, of 30000:1 * on the DLA-HD750 model.
* Native contrast ratio of 15000:1 for the DLA-HD350.

2. D-ILA device and engine
Originally developed by JVC, D-ILA technology employs three (RGB) devices for a naturally
rich, flicker-free picture even when there is rapid movement in the image. Along with the
device is optical engine with wire grid polarizer that ensure precise light polarisation without
light leakage for true black level reproduction. Together, the D-ILA device and engine
guarantee a smooth picture with vivid colours and high contrast.

3. High-performance 2x zoom lens motorised
The new high-performance 2x zoom lens with motorised focus features a large diameter, all-glass lens system with 16
elements in 17 groups that includes an ED lens to project a full HD image with exceptional depth.

4. Advanced video processor
Both projectors incorporate the HQV Reon-VX video processor developed
by Silicon Optix to ensure excellent image reproduction with precision I / P
conversion and scaling.

5. Excellent colour rendition
The DLA-HD750 features Color Management that interpolate colours individually by R, G, B,
C, Y, or M, in three separate axes of colour phase, chrome saturation, and brightness. Up to
three customised colour settings can be stored for future use.

6. Customised on-screen gamma control
Manual adjustment of gamma curve is possible through an on-screen display, allowing the viewer to
adjust projector luminance levels by either increasing contrast in scenes that are too dark or dimming
washed-out scenes to ensure precise brightness levels suited to individual preferences. Up to three
settings can be adjusted and stored for future use.

7. Flexible set-up
Setting up is easy too as the ± 80% vertical and ± 34% horizontal electric lens shift function allows the
projected picture to be moved horizontally or vertically effortlessly through the remote control. And, when
positioning the projector outside of the lens shift coverage area, the Digital Keystone Correction
helps to make distorted images look more natural.

8. Convenient, Stylish and High performance

-- Remote Screen / Anamorphic lens trigger
For additional convenience, the external trigger can be used to conveniently raise and lower the screen or
automatically draw curtains while turning on the projector, or linked to engaging V-Stretch Mode to move an
optional anamorphic wide screen lens system into place.

-- Auto lens cover
The slide automatic lens cover that opens and closes with power
on / off to protect against dust.

-- New design and body colours
Sporting a stylish yet functional design, the DLA-HD750 is available in black pearl finish and the DLA-HD350
in either glossy piano-black or white glossy finish.

-- Compatibility with HDMI ver. 1.3 (Deep Colour) and CEC Control
The projector's two HDMI inputs comply with version 1.3 specifications, allowing users to take full advantage of the
higher 225 MHz bandwidth. CEC compatibility aids in system control.

"Color Management that interpolate colours individually by R, G, B,
C, Y, or M, in three separate axes of colour phase, chrome saturation, and brightness."

Sounds like a pretty sophisticated CMS to me. E.G. it sounds like it addresses the lumanence issues the Lumagen Vision series can't adjust but the Radiance can.

Yes. Unless there is some aspect of a CMS that I am unaware of.

"Dimensions (tentative)" on the spec sheet tends to support your theory.

Thanks for finding that info sheet, Tambiman. No comments that I saw, though, about the 'adjustable iris' on the 750. The writeup there seems to suggest 800 lumens and 30,000:1 at the same time; but if there is an adjustable iris in play, it most likely means 30,000:1 with 500 lumens, say, and 15,000:1 (?) with 800 lumens. Will be interesting ot find out.

But hey, this is the fun time! Massive confusion and excitement!

Don't forget the rampant speculation and rumor-spreading

800 lmn, would that be enough to light up an 135" diag screen?

Probably yes, but it may depend on the screen. [ftL (which most people like to be at 15 to 20) = (screen gain)*lumens/screen area(in ft^2). Your proposed screen is 54 ft^2, so ftL = gain*800/54 = 15*gain. So a modest gain, like 1.3 to 1.5, would put you in a good range with 800 lumens; but don't forget that lamps loose brightness with time, up to 50%.]

Adds to the fun.

I completely agree...I didn't mean that statement to be negative in any way.

A very enthusiastic quick Norwegian report on the JVC HD750 at the IFA show:

http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl...kS0Wuy0fYhJCXw

Some high-lights if I discerned properly from the translation:

1. " Moreover, the projector has been upgraded optics, and clarity was fantastic. It was also very good convergence on the device we looked at, but it can also be random. "

2. Very impressed in seeing no evidence of the "light" corner issue on dark scenes. Best he/she has seen in this regard.

3. Appears to indicate that the reviewer was impressed with the JVCs newest processing of the image and (if I got this right) impressed with the clarity of details even in panning scenes, preferring this projector's processing to the methods used by Sony (which apparently he feels looks a bit odd).

Promising so far....

5 days to go. A long time for you guys not to be able to sleep. Those info commercials after 3 AM or so will rot whatever is left of your brains.

Hmmmm... So does the JVC have processing to improve motion resolution? That would be the first time I here of that.

Oh god i just bought an rs1x this year, but the new rs20 is calling to me. must resist upgrading until they switch to a non bulb light source.

also id imagine if JVC is spec'd at 800 lumens, thattl be the output prior to any aperature manipulation and decrease of CR. jvc is usually spot on with their lumen values. if thats the case then i may upgrade because with CMS it seems like this will be the projector to beat

I was under the impression from this forum that the RS2 has been a lot better in that regard than the RS1.

I'd imagine that a ceiling mount is the preferred method of installation for most users. Unfortunately, those exposed side inputs are rather unsightly for those of us who prefer a nice, clean looking install. The entrance to my room is from the side and the first thing people would see is that exposed side input panel. Hopefully, there is some kind of flip down cover that hides this and allows you to route the cabling towards the back of the unit.

Noticed this aswell in the release, have no idea what model this will be.

AVForums reporting that they got to play with the CMS control on the HD750 at IFA and will be releasing it in a video along with the 4k2k projector demo.

Found it, it's at the end of this video, http://www.avforums.com/tv/index.php?videoid=60

Nice!

Can't play the video; is there anything substantive in it? Is is a 'full' CMS in the 750? Is it in the User Menu, or a Service Menu?

Here's a video interview with a JVC rep describing the features of the new pj's from AVForums:

Yeah I guess that would be more shelf friendly, but it also might make it so the cables are more visible too. I suppose that Jason and others can talk more when Cedia starts?

Ok so its confirmed that the the 350 is in between the RS1 and 2, and the 750 will be the top of the line. I'd be surprised if the 750 was lower than 10k.

Thats a different video than the other one. It showed the CMS menu and it had all the options that were listed earlier in the thread. Looked like it was in a regular menu (not service) and mentioned something about in 3d space???

3d space is what the Lumagen Radiance processes in too and what allows control of saturation AND luminance when adjusting primary and secondary color points.

Ahhhh.
So its looking like this is a fully loaded CMS?

Lets see... Over the RS2, we got a better lens, some form of light control, brighter, quieter, better processing (???), 12v trigger, keystone correction and CMS.

We actually believed for a bit that it would be cheaper than the RS2!
