Remarkable Picture Quality
The True Black HD1 brings full-HD to your home with the industry's highest native contrast ratio: 15,000:1. The “native” means that it does not rely on an iris mechanism to maximize contrast depending on the average brightness of one scene. This technical slight of hand, employed on other projectors, effectively changes overall luminosity, so that blacks are slightly bleached in bright scenes, while light colours appear duller in dark scenes.
There is neither iris mechanism nor compromise in the True Black HD1 projector. D-ILA is a mature technology, perfected by JVC, which can reproduce the brightest, most vivid colours simultaneously with the subtlest shadows, down to the deepest, truest blacks. Only D-ILA can reproduce in full the rich image information contained in a high-definition source, be it broadcast or optical disc.
Advanced Technologies
There are number of advanced technologies behind the beautiful picture quality of the True Black HD1 projector.
1. First and foremost is the D-ILA device itself, of which there are three in the True Black HD1, and the pulse drive. JVC's original D-ILA (Direct-drive Image Light Amplifier) technology ensures a natural, rich, flicker-free picture which does not suffer from the sort of colourbreaking phenomenon that can often occur with single-device projectors, especially when there is rapid movement. The result is a smooth picture, like that produced by film, with fine detail from one edge of the screen to the other. And there is also no obvious “screen-door” effect when using D-ILA devices, so the high-definition picture is like that produced by a film projector .
2. The new optical engine with wire-grid polarizers ensures that colours are reproduced with smooth gradations and minimal noise. The resulting display is ideal for movies . Objects that are normally black are shown with true blacks. And, irrespective of brightness, consistent response is assured, allowing the reproduction of a wide range of intermediate colours.
3. The large diameter, all-glass Fujinon lens system with 16 elements in 13 groups significantly reduces chromatic aberration and ensures a high-resolution picture, with every point on the screen perfectly in focus. Also, the high-performance 2x zoom lens enables you to enjoy a large and impressive image even in smaller rooms.
4. Finally, the VXP video processor generates high-quality output using a combination of advanced digital technologies.
Flexible, Easy Home Theatre Setup
In addition to its beautiful picture quality, this projector also offers appealing versatility and user-friendly operation. The lens shift function allows you to install the projector virtually anywhere in the room, exactly where you want it. What's more, the front cooling design means that it is unnecessary to allocate space on top or behind the projector. And video adjustments are made easy by the handy remote controller that illuminates automatically when the room is dark.
