JVC RS10/20 CIH memory possible?

I'm back to zooming for CIH with my RS10/HD350. I was wondering if it was possible to get zoom and lenshift memory for CIH similar to the pansonic 3000 via a firmware upgrade. Is this even possible if JVC decided to do it? If it is, I'd say let's petition JVC to get this implemented.

that's a rather good suggestion!

It would be a cool feature for sure, but I am sure it would take more than a simple firmware update. Plus, with Cedia coming soon, I doubt they would want to put that much effort into a model that ultimately might be replaced.

I'm be pretty bummed if the next model has it since I won't be upgrading so soon. If I can't have it, then no one should!

Isn't that the truth. That's why once you get your setup, get away from the AVSForum, or you'll always be searching for the new stuff!

This is one of the key reasons, I went to Panny this time and of course $1K more. There is no doubt in my mind RS10/350 is better picture than Panny 3K but with memory function and $1K less, I went to Panny 3K.

If it is RS20/750 instead of RS10/350, I will add that $1K and live without the memory function for sure.

Here's what JVC said.

Quote:


Thank you for contacting JVC Customer Care.

I am Yvette, your email care specialist, and I will be more than happy to assist you with your questions and concerns regarding the unit DLA-HD350.

I understand that you would like to know if the 2.35:1 aspect ratio could be added to the DLA-HD350 projector.

Aspect ratios would not be able to be added directly into the projector; we apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused. If you would like to view the projected image in a 2.35:1 you may want to obtain additional information about using an ANAMORPHIC LENS. Additional information about these lenses may be found at the following link http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/c...oductId=PRO2.2

If we can be of further assistance, please let us know at customerrelations@jvc.com.

Sincerely,

Yvette
JVC Customer Care Center

I'm pretty sure Yvette didn't really understand the question you were asking her... It's probably a black hole, but might be worth following up to clarify what you were asking (ie., not to magically make the projector into a 2.35:1 device but instead, to add a zoom/shift memory capability).

I would love it if the HD350 had memory zoom and lenshift for displaying 2.35 aspect ratios movies, just like the panasonic 3000u already has. Can this possibly be provided by a firmware upgrade?

Not sure how much more clear it could be.

pocoloco,

I afraid I need to agree with Jay. No offense to any JVC rep, this question need to answer from a product manager or product engineer instead of just an "email care specialist".

Your question is clear to me, but part of the reason I made my suggestion was because I know how this tends to go. I'm in product development and the folks manning the phones/e-mail support lines make some really surprising statements sometimes. I just get to see it from the back side of the support process pretty regularly...

I have had the president of JVC at my house...but, in talking with the main engineer who develops these things...it won't happen on the current models...note I said current.

Is this due to technical or business reasons or both? I guess I'm more curious if it would be technically possible to do.

He didn't want to get into details and I didn't pry, but I'd suspect a bit of both.

Hummmm. Cedia is coming and I suppose nobody at JVC wants to spoil any surprises. Of course, others will be there also. Panny AE-4000 and Sony VPL-VW80 anyone?

I'd suspect Cedia will have lots of 2.35:1 stuff...that tends to be the direction the front projection market is going...

CIH wishlist for JVC - the next RSxx:
Zoom and image shift memory like Panasonic.

Physical lens shift memory for more placement flexibility than Panasonic.

Memorize aperture setting so brightness can be maintained with different zoom settings.

Trigger outputs for masking systems.

Scale incoming video into 1440x817 raster - so 16:9 can be displayed on a 2.35 AR screen without changing zoom. Needed to quickly go from 2.35 to 1.78 and back for disc menus or OSD without changing lens settings.

For A-lens users, scale incoming video to 1440x1080 so 16:9 will display correctly with lens in place. For menus and OSD.

Add IR and RS-232 codes for direct, discrete selection of display modes. Don't need buttons on the remote, just the discrete commands for automation systems and universal remotes.

Do it all for $1997.

OK, forget that last one...

Should be easy right?
All we need are motors that feed back position information to the brain. The rest is "just" software.

Great stuff.... I'd also like to add:

Enhance the projectors existing masking feature to have it be memorize-able so that there are no bars shooting above and below the screen when zooming.

Allow projector to mask to 817 vertical pixels so people can run 1920 x 817 natively in combination with the 1140 x 817 scaling. Basically give people the option to run a 817p "native" scope projector.

An upgrade policy for current owners for $300. Free upgrade for me of course cuz I started this thread

JVC, are you listening?
