JVC DLA-RS1000/N5 & RS2000/NX7 Owners Thread

[AVSMike]

New features
Frame by frame DTM HDR Can also be set up for scene by scene.
12 bit to 18 bit
Anamorphic D (DCR owners can rejoice)
SpyderX support for autocal
More support for screen selection.

Also MSRP on RS2000 is increasing by $1,000 on October 1st.

This update is a pretty big deal. While it may not reach the same level of performance an outboard video processing solution from Lumagan or madVR can achieve, it should offer a level of performance acceptable to most average users. Epson and Sony will need to seriously step up their game if they want to continue to compete in the $3000+ price segment after everything JVC has put on the table with these 4K projectors. If they can address some of the odd quirks with the dynamic iris in a future firmware update, I'd be even happier.

"Pretty Big Deal" doesn't come close to how big of news this is. If it works as well as I've been led to believe (I had a conversation with someone at JVC today), this is a massive upgrade for us who own the projector.

I agree.

We will see it in action next Thursday at Cedia and report back right here !

I agree.

Mike, did JVC give any indication as to how long until the final firmware product will be released.  Early October, Mid-October, Late-October, November?

Just curious how far along they are.  If they are demoing now it seems like they could have a final release fairly soon.

[AVSMike]

October is what I am hearing.  

[gregch]

Ok thanks.  

If you are going to CEDIA, let us know how it looks.  You should have a pretty good idea of the improvement since you currently have an RS3000 with the Lumagen processor doing frame by frame tone mapping already.

Will do.  Our first meeting Thursday is with JVC.

Mike,   any info from JVC as to them implementing the DTM to the Z1/RS4500 .
Thanks..

Still a work in progress. Nothing promised but they are trying to see if they can incorporate it. I think it will happen, but do not know for sure.

I would imagine the video processing solutions are different on the lamp and laser units so porting over software isn't as straightforward as it seems. Also, going off the cine4home teardown, it looks like JVC went with a custom FPGA instead of an off the shelf locked in and limited processing solution. This is why they can add all these features so far after the projector has been released. An FPGA is like a blank CPU that can be coded to do what ever they want it to do as long as it's powerful enough to run everything they want it to do at once.

Thats new features looks greate, but there are still some limitation. Right now its still on BETA and they locked on this features all what you can set, like color temperature and others.

Buts looks amazing, i hope thats we will have son more info how its works...

I am looking forward to seeing it next week at CEDIA.
