On the afternoon of May 10, JVC held the 2024 "The Art of Projection - Discovering Pure Beauty" JVC 8K Cinema Projector New Product Launch Conference in Guangzhou, and released two flagship models DLA-N1188 and DLA-N988 simultaneously around the world. Equipped with advanced technologies such as JVC's 0.69-inch D-ILA third-generation chip, high-performance BLU-Escent laser light source, 8K/e-shiftX Gen 2 and Frame Adapt HDR Gen 2, these two blockbuster models once again elevate the color reproduction and detail depiction of 8K HDR images to a new level, and become the global focus of high-end 8K home theater projectors in 2024.
JVC Projector Product Manager Ci Cheng
At the beginning of the event, Ci Cheng, the product manager of JVC projector, introduced the development of the JVC Kenwood brand and the product fields involved, especially in the field of projection, to the industry audience, audio-visual enthusiasts and media friends present. JVC has achieved a wide range of applications in the field of projection, including home projection and professional projection, especially in the field of high-end home theater projection, planetarium and flight simulator. Subsequently, Huang Pengfei, general manager of Shanghai Lijing Information Technology Co., Ltd., gave a detailed introduction and analysis of the technical characteristics and advantages of DLA-N1188 and DLA-N988.

FOR N1188
FOR N988
Equipped with 0.69-inch D-ILA third-generation display chip,
Achieve sharper images and ultra-high contrast
JVC's self-developed 0.69-inch D-ILA chip has been improved to the third generation, which improves the native contrast ratio by about 1.5 times compared to the previous generation model, and improves the controllability of the liquid crystal arrangement and the flatness of the pixels to achieve better electro-optical response characteristics. As a result, the DLA-N1188 is capable of achieving a native contrast ratio of 150,000:1, while the DLA-N988 native contrast ratio is 100,000:1.
内置 踄高BLU-Escent激光 光源,
更高效BLU-Escent激光光源
In the key light source part, JVC's more efficient BLU-Escent laser light source is adopted, and the DLA-N1188 and DLA-N988 achieve high brightness of 3300 lumens and 2700 lumens respectively, with a service life of 20000 hours. Compared to JVC's first-generation laser projectors, the effective brightness per watt of power is increased by 1.9 times.
支持8K60p/4K120p输入，
It is equipped with 8K/e-shiftX second-generation technology
DLA-N1188 and DLA-N988 can fully support 8K60p/4K120p high-specification ultra-high-definition video signal input, and more importantly, using JVC's patented second-generation 8K/e-shiftX technology, through the processing technology of 0.5 pixel offset in the four directions of up, down, left and right, the 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA chip achieves 8K ultra-high-definition display resolution.
Frame Adapt HDR逐帧适应HDR二代，
JVC has a unique dynamic tone mapping algorithm
Now in its second generation, Frame Adapt HDR technology uses advanced algorithms to instantly analyze the maximum brightness of each frame of HDR10 content and adjust the projected dynamic range to the optimal range for video content in real-time. In addition to this, both the DLA-N1188 and DLA-N988 are now equipped with Deep Black, which uses an algorithm that extends black levels to provide a more realistic darkfield performance as part of a frame-by-frame adaptation to HDR. In addition, the maximum display brightness metadata of the monitor is created by analyzing the maximum display brightness metadata of the DML (Max Display Mastering Luminance) and the dynamic range recorded by the DML metadata is used to improve the HDR dynamic tone mapping.
With a wide color gamut filter,
Achieve 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut
Both DLA-N1188 and DLA-N988 are equipped with a wide color gamut filter function, which can achieve 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut when turned on, and truly restore the rich color levels and vivid details of the ultra-high-definition Blu-ray and network streaming program sources produced based on the DCI-P3 color gamut.
Added a new and distinct mode,
SDR content can be rendered in richer colors
The DLA-N1188 and DLA-N988 add a new "Sharp" SDR image mode that delivers SDR content in richer colors. This new mode delivers bright, saturated colors with crisp and sharp detail, especially for the color rendering of animation productions commonly found on streaming services.
Subsequently, Li Weisheng, executive editor of Home Theater Technology magazine, showed the picture style and color characteristics of JVC's two flagship 8K laser home theater projectors through different 8K and 4K demonstration clips.
