JVC DLA G10

The efficient DLA-G10 delivers the super brightness and high resolution found in larger models of ILAþ based light valve projectors, but with a very significant difference: all this performance comes in a portable, plug-and-play package. This giant leap forward in performance, price and portability sets new standards in the large screen display industry.

Scott Watson, vice president, product and market development for JVC, called the DLA-G10 an impressive leap in technology, saying, "JVC, with its subsidiary Hughes-JVC, has made a lasting name for itself in the crowded projection market: this spectacular new D-ILA product is sure to attract attention because it offers a tremendous value to our customers which they cannot find elsewhere. We are very proud of this technology."

The new Direct-Drive Image Light Amplifier, or D-ILATM device, is an original development by JVC and an extension of the Image Light Amplifier (ILAþ) that was developed by Hughes-JVC specifically for large screen theatrical projectors. It is a C-MOS based reflective liquid crystal light valve upon which the image is written directly by the driving IC. It is the key to producing images with an unparalleled combination of color, contrast, brightness, resolution and bandwidth. It was first previewed in August at Berlin's International FunkAusstellung, Europe's largest consumer electronics show.

The DLA-G10 projector utilizes Adaptive Digital Pixel Conversion technology to optimize picture quality and to assure smooth, clear images no matter what the signal resolution. Variable scanning frequency capability with horizontal frequencies from 15-82 kHz assures compatibility with a wide range of source signals. Resolution of 1365 x 1024 allows full coverage of SXGA (1280 x 1024) graphics. A 10-bit Digital Gamma Correction gives accurate gray scale reproduction. Video resolution of 1000 TV lines and contrast ratio of greater than 250:1 provide superb video reproduction. And a xenon arc lamp assures both high brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens and highly accurate colors.

In the DLA-G10, the light from a xenon arc lamp travels through a polarized beam splitter, is reflected off the D-ILA device, and then through the projection lens and onto the screen. This simple but highly efficient design results in a projector that is much smaller and lighter than the typical reflective light valve models. The DLA-G10 measures only 9 x 17 x 15 inches and weighs only 31 pounds, making it the first light valve projector that can be easily carried around by its handle and easily set-up for presentations. The projector is ready for use within two minutes of switching on the power. Single lens construction with power zoom, power focus and full remote-control makes the projector extremely easy to "plug and play." The DLA-G10 is designed for use on screens from 3 to 20 feet wide, making it ideal for applications such as boardrooms, conference rooms, universities, government, trade shows, home theaters and graphic work stations.
