JVC DLA-NZ500

JVC DLA-NZ500

Small D-ILA Projector

The DLA-NZ500 from JVC is the world’s smallest native 4K projector. With 2000 lumens and 40,000:1 contrast ratio you can experience full scale high definition images in a compact design.

While maintaining a small footprint, the NZ500 projector incorporates JVC’s proprietary Blu-Escent laser light source and native 4K devices. The exhaust has been installed at the rear to reduce the impact of heat on the projection screen and to enable greater flexibility in installation.

The DLA-NZ500 comes available in two colours of black and white to match any interior settings.

The 1.6x fully motorised zoom and focus 80mm 4K lens is capable of projecting high resolution images to every corner of the screen, while securing wide shift ranges of 70% vertically and 28% horizontally for flexible installation.

The Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR function instantaneously analyses the different peak brightness per scene or per frame for HDR10 content and performs real time tone mapping for optimised brightness, colour and details. When combined with the new Deep Black Tone Control, DML and Filmmaker Mode the projector detects and analyses data contained in HDR sources to project the best of what each source has to offer.

This projector features FILMMAKER MODE, an image quality mode developed by UHD Alliance that aims to faithfully reproduce movies to the director’s standards in your private home cinema. When using FILMMAKER MODE, certain processing controls are turned off and the color temperature is set to D65 (6500 K), so you can enjoy movies and documents in true master quality.

When a consistent input signal is not available the Installation Mode function allows up to five types of Installation Settings, such as lens memory, pixel adjustments and screen masks can be stored and recalled easily.
