Features

  • World’s Smallest Native 4K Projector*
    Completely redesigned with a new chassis, optical units, lens system, and circuit boards, the DLA-NZ500 is the world’s smallest native 4K projector*. While maintaining a small footprint, this model 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.
  • Pixel Perfect Resolution with Native 4K Input and 4K D-ILA
    Signals input via the 32Gbps 4K/60p HDMI terminal go through the 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device to project full native 4K resolution images (4,096 x 2,160 pixels). JVC’s BLU-Escent Laser light source and a native contrast ratio of 40,000:1 achieves images filled with reality.
  • 2,000-Lumen BLU-Escent Laser for Bright Images
    JVC’s original BLU-Escent Laser light source designed especially for the DLA-NZ500 is capable of achieving exceptional peak brightness of 2,000 lumens with 20,000 hours of long life. Housed in compact casing, the laser light engine provides higher output, greater efficiency, and quieter operation, making it an excellent solution for demanding home theater installations.
  • Fully Motorized 4K Lens
    The 1.6x fully motorized zoom & focus, 80-mm 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.
  • Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR offers Deeper Blacks and More
    The Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR function instantaneously analyzes the different peak brightness per scene or per frame for HDR10 content and performs real-time tone mapping for optimized brightness, color and details. When combined with each of the following modes including the new Deep Black Tone Control, the projector detects and analyzes data contained in HDR sources to project the best of what each source has to offer:
    • Deep Black Tone Control subdues tones in dark areas for more realistic darkness.
    • DML (Display Mastering Luminance) adjusts/sets the dynamic range to match the image for a much better HDR experience.
    • FILMMAKER MODE™ recreates picture quality that is faithful to the original master.
  • Picture Mode “Vivid”
    Made to reproduce SDR content with a narrow dynamic range in more saturated colors with greater vividness, the Vivid mode is excellent for SDR animated works and gaming CGs.
