4K video full of reality is achieved through ultimate dynamic range
The newly adopted 265W high-output lamp in the new D-ILA 
projectors delivers a brightness of 1,900 lm*1, which is an increase 
of over 40% compared to previous models*2. What’s more, smoother 
and more powerful pictures can be achieved through the combination 
of the new lamp and JVC’s original D-ILA device with an even 
narrower gap between pixels for efficient use of light. Powerful, 
vivid  and  highly  detailed  4K  high-defi nition  video  can  be  enjoyed 
even in environments where its hard to block out light, such as living 
rooms, that are not ideally suited for viewing high-defi nition videos.

Achieves exceptionally bright 1,900 lm*1 
with newly adopted high-output lamp
The combination of JVC’s original D-ILA device and an optical 
engine equipped with a wire grid that complements the new high-
output lamp results in high native contrast ratio of 150,000:1
*3. Input 
signals are analysed with an original algorithm that is combined 
with Intelligent Lens Aperture, which automatically controls the 
black level of the image to achieve an ultimate dynamic contrast of 
1,500,000:1.

Ultimate dynamic contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1*3 achieved

The new D-ILA projectors are compatible with content boasting a 
wide dynamic range such as the next-generation Blu-ray disc that 
is expected to expand in the future, and over-the-top (OTT) video 
services. Capitalising on the native contrast, these projectors are 
capable of achieving visual effects that are similar to the human 
eye with exceptional brightness that is close to the dynamic range 
for camcorders and a high contrast ratio. Also, the projectors 
can display images with peak brightness three times

							Smooth yet vivid — experience 4K quality as only D-ILA makes it possible
Technologies to realise D-ILA 4K images
See the details even in the brightest highlights and darkest shadows
4K video full of reality is achieved through ultimate dynamic range
JVC’s e-shift technology shifts sub-frames by 0.5 pixels both 
vertically and horizontally to achieve 4 times the pixel density 
of the original content. The latest e-shift4 Technology is capable 
of inputting full-spec 4K video signals including 4K60P 4:4:4 
thanks to the optimised engine and the newly adopted high-
power lamp. These improvements 
result in an even higher definition 
picture with more precision.  
Original 4K e-shift Technology 
continues to evolve
JVC’s original high-performance image processing technology, 
Multiple Pixel Control, has been improved to match the trend 
towards higher resolution. Through adoption of a new analysis 
algorithm, the MPC is now capable of more accurate diagonal-
detection between frames for both full HD and full 4K resolution 
signals, delivering a thoroughly immersive high-definition 
4K image.
New Multiple Pixel Control
High-quality moving images
Further improvement has been applied to JVC’s original Clear 
Motion Drive. It now is compatible with 4K60P 4:4:4 signals for 
reproducing moving images without ghosting or afterimage issues.

In addition to the improved Clear Motion Drive, the new D-ILA 
projectors are equipped with originally developed Motion Enhance 
technology. By optimally controlling the driving performance 
of D-ILA devices by image characteristics, residual images 
and blurring that are often found in fast-moving images are 
reduced. JVC’s original Clear Motion Drive and Motion Enhance 
technologies will help to reproduce a variety of crisp and smooth 
moving images.

Creating images that match the viewing environment
J VC’s advancing technologies and functions
JVC’s original Real Colour Imaging Technology accurately grasps 
the colour information for precise reproduction. The technology’s 
colour reproduction ability has improved. With the adoption of a 
new colour fi  lter, the DLA-RS600 and DLA-RS500 are now capable 
of covering the DCI
*7 colour space. 
It is now possible to reproduce colours 
tr ue to the original for exceptionally 
beautiful 4K images.
Original Real Colour Imaging Technology*6
The projector selects the best mode to match the screen being used for 
images with natural colour balance*9. The modes are compatible with 
the latest models offered by the worlds major screen manufacturers. 
*9: Refer to J VC website for a comparison of primar y screens and adjustment modes.
Screen Adjustment Modes
A 6-axis matrix of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow 
enables the precise adjustment of hue, saturation, and intensity. 
Only the colour being adjusted will be shown in colour while the 
others are grey-toned, making operation more intuitive.
Colour Management System with 
6-Axis Matrix
Auto-Calibration Function*8
Using an optical sensor, precise calibration can be performed in 
just a few easy steps to match the changes in optical characteristics 
caused by installation situation of the projector.  Auto-Calibration 
optimises all essential elements found in the image, including colour 
balance, gamma characteristics, colour space, and colour tracking.
Immediately after use
1,000 hrs after use
After Auto-Calibration
Manual gamma adjustment, as requested by users, has been 
added to the calibration software. 
In addition to a PC-based adjustment 
that are refl ected to the image in real-
time, adjust ments using optical sensor 
can also be performed. It also feat u res 
importing and exporting of gamma data.
12-point manual gamma adjustment
*8: Exclusive J VC software installed on a PC connected to the projector via a LAN 
connection and optical sensor are required to set viewing confi gurations and auto 
calibration. Please visit the J VC website for the details.

The Pixel Adjust function allows users to precisely correct colour 
deviation in 1/16-pixel increments. It is also capable of segmenting 
the entire screen into 121 points and adjusting them individually to 
realise clearer video without colour deviation. Two settings can be 
stored in the memory.
Pixel Adjust Function
This function stores ten*10 separate lens adjustments for zoom, shift 
and focus that can be easily recalled when needed. Memory settings 
can be switched between each setup via the remote controller .

JVC’s new D-ILA projectors are compatible with Simple 
Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP) by Control4. When an 
SDDP-compatible device is added into a Control4 system, it is 
automatically recognised by the 
system and automatically adds 
driver to the projector to enable 
external control in no time.

 Notes about viewing 3D video content
• The optional 3D Synchro Emitter and 3D glasses are required to view 
  3D images from the D- IL A projectors. 3D video software (3D media or output  
  of 3D broadcasts) and a 3D-compatible video player are also required.
• Perception of 3D images will vary with individual viewers.
• Stop viewing 3D images immediately if any discomfort such as headaches,  
 dizziness,  eye fatigue, etc. occurs.
• Viewing of 3D images by children under the age of five is not recommended.
• Read the User Manual and Safety Precautions carefully before viewing any 
  3D source.

In addition to JVC’s original Frame Addressing method to 
reproduce 3D images with vivid colours, the optical engine 
featuring a set of new D-ILA devices is capable of achieving more 
brightness. Furthermore, 3D image adjustment functions such as 
Crosstalk Cancelling are featured to offer the 
kind of realistic and exciting 3D images that 
only D-ILA can provide.
Even brighter and high-quality 
3D images of D-ILA
The DLA-RS600 and RS500 are accredited with THX 3D 
Display  Certifi cation  which  was  established  to  ensure  the  precise 
reproduction of picture quality in home environments for both 
2D and 3D content, just as the original filmmaker envisioned. 
Encompassing more than 400 laboratory tests to evaluate a 
projector’s colour accuracy, cross-talk, viewing angles and video 
processing, this certification helps to guarantee high-definition 
quality. The two projectors are also licensed with the ISF C3 
(Certifi ed Calibration Controls) mode
*12, not only to help reproduce 
film or video content accurate to the source but also excellent 
picture quality optimised for specifi c environments.
*12: Professional calibration to desired screen is perfor med by trained dealers.
