![]() In practice, I found this lens gave me more control to get a tighter focus on screen. This aspect, combined with what JVC claims are hand-selected components, helps achieve an extra 300 lumens of brightness (2,200 total) and a 20 percent increase in on/off contrast performance (up to 100,000:1 native and 1,000,000:1 dynamic), despite the NX9 using the same 265-watt lamp and light engine found in the NX7. JVC claims the design and quality of this lens make it far more efficient. While a sharper-looking image may be the most visually apparent consequence of this lens, it helps the NX9 achieve much more. It also offers a slightly shorter throw ratio of 1.35 to 2.70 and adds a wider range in shift capabilities, which are now specified as ☑00 percent vertical and up to ±43 percent horizontal. It utilizes 18 all-glass elements set in 16 groups, with five of these elements featuring low dispersion optical coatings to prevent issues with chromatic aberration. Compared to the lens found on the NX7, the NX9's is 35 percent larger in diameter and features an upgraded aluminum barrel. ![]() In fact, the lens found in the NX9 is the same one used in JVC's far more expensive laser-based 4K projector. So, instead of repeating a lot of the same information readers can find in my RS2000 review, I want to focus on what differentiates the NX9 and how these changes affect usability and performance.Īmong the upgrades offered, and arguably the biggest, is a far more impressive lens. This means the NX9, despite costing twice as much, shares a lot in common with the previously reviewed RS2000/ DLA-NX7, including most of the internal hardware, video processing features, input and output options, and even the chassis. This is key in how JVC has historically offered such high performance at competitive price points. Those familiar with the home theater projector market will know that JVC is a firm believer in economies of scale. Sealing the deal for me to ask for a review unit was JVC's announcement that all existing native 4K models would carry over into 2020. While JVC did a commendable job removing as many setup issues as possible, the demo left me wanting to see how this projector would look under more controlled conditions in my own theater. Those who've been to trade shows know that demos are rarely given under ideal lighting. While there, I was able to demo a beta version of this software through the company's $18,000 DLA-NX9 projector (also sold as the DLA-RS3000 depending on geo-location and market). You can also switch manually between the different formats.At CEDIA this past fall, JVC announced (and has subsequently released) a new firmware update for its current generation 4K projectors, bringing with it a massive improvement in HDR performance through real-time, frame-by-frame, DTM (dynamic tonemapping) software. It will also change aspect ratio when a 2.40:1 format movie has a menu’s outside the active picture frame. It will look for 2.40:1 content and automatically scale the image to fit the 5120×2160 resolution and of course change back to 16:9 3840×2160 if you have content in that format. the result is the best picture quality ever shown at this level.Īll new “Pulse” electronics have been designed to process 4K with HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 and the optical engine is utilising the very latest 0,9-inch DMD DLP chipset, delivering 5,120 x 2,160 pixels on screen.īalder CS has a unique automatic aspect ratio detection function. To top that, Balder CS’s frame and core is built in Aluminium, 37kg of pure quality. ![]() It is the cornerstone of a home cinema system designed to deliver the most outstanding of experiences in the world’s finest homes and yachts.īy basing Balder’s cinemascope optical engine on its bigger brother Loki’s CS architecture, custom designed aspherical glass elements and enhanced low dispersion glass lenses, image quality is in a class of its own. Balder Cinemascope fusses together the world’s finest optical components with the imaging device technology chosen by 8 out of 10 professional cinemas, DLP, our unique PULSE electronics platform and inhouse designed laser engine.
