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

Yeah, I have to agree. This sounds like an HDMI cable issue. Get one that's certified to carry the full 18Gbps bandwidth HDMI 2.0 requires.

New list of codes with added functions for firmware 3.1.

[MrTom]

Appreciate advice to replace cables.  That is my mission today.  It is pretty easy to find certified short cables.  So I have those 3ft to 6ft source cables ordered and on the way.  The bigger challenge is to find a certified 35-40ft cable.  I could not come up with one.  I wish my set up allowed me to have the projector closer to the AVR, but it does not.  It is every bit of 35-40ft up through AV closet ceiling, across attic and back down through ceiling.  Might be able to make 35ft work if I pull slack out of cable. 

Even though not certified, I could order another HDMI cable (different, newer model which might work better with newer HDMI standards??) with same specs as the one I have- Active High Speed/ 4K at 60Hz / HDR /18Gbps / 28AWG/ YCbCr 4:4:4/ CL2/ 40ft.  (But that is exactly what my current cable was spec'd at too). 

Or, I found these cables-  HDMI/ Dynamic HDR/ Ultra High Speed/ 8k at 120Hz/ 48Gbps/ Fiber Optic/ eARC/ AOC/ YCbCr 4:4:4/ 40ft.  They are a little expensive, but certainly worth it if they work dependably.  Any thoughts on the Fiber Optic?

We sell one that works - Key Digital Pro 40 ft HDMI Cable, Item #KEYKDPRO40G 

They aren't too expensive.

Or these should work - 

RUIPRO Hybrid HDMI Cable, Supports HDMI2.0b, 4K60HZ 4:4:4, 18Gbps Bandwidth, HDR10, Dolby Vision, ARC, HDCP2.2, Fiber HDMI Cable, Ultra Slim and Flexible (15m)

Updated my RS2000 to the new firmware, and it was an easy process. 
I haven’t dug too deep into testing but initial impressions are very positive! With my 130” wide 2.35 screen, frame by frame on High HDR Level was bright and beautiful. I use the filter for wide color. I find it’s a much richer and saturated picture with the filter even though it a slight loss of light output. 
This projector continues to amaze. Looking forward to catching up this fall/winter on a lot of movies I haven’t had time to watch this summer.

Sounds like the correct setting for your setup. DTM is a great new feature.  

[AVSMike]

Frame adapt
When in auto mode, it looks at frames or scenes and selects what it feels is most appropriate. So it will vary between low, medium and high throughout the movie.  So for images above 2,000 nits, it selects low. For images between 500 and 2,000 nits it selects medium and for images below 500 nits, it selects high.

Frame Adpt Menu
Static: This is for a fixed nit level, like with UB9000 with HDR Optimizer.

Frame by frame: as the name says, will analyze frame by frame for DTM.

Scene by Scene: as the name says, will analyze scene by scene for DTM.


Filter
Normal is no filter, same as HDR no filter we had before.
Wide is with BT2020 filter. DCI color space.

[Clark Burk]

I’m still a bit confused as to how this DTM is operating.
According to what you’re saying Mike the auto setting is like the dynamic part selecting between L,M, and H. Is it using the MaxCLL/Fall to determine which setting L,M, or H to use?
If you choose a particular setting such as H is it still dynamically using the tone mapping or is it just selecting a particular curve?

[AVSMike]

No, the auto setting means it can use low, medium and high during the course of a movie. Not just one setting.

[Clark Burk]

Thanks Mike, So all the settings Auto, L, M, and H are dynamically tone mapping?

[Dylan Seeger]

Thanks Mike, So all the settings Auto, L, M, and H are dynamically tone mapping?

That's correct. The Auto, Low, Medium, and High settings are simply the peak nit clip points that the tone mapper uses. Though, the names are a bit counter intuitive. The High setting is actually the lowest peak nit clip point. Though maybe the names imply how bright the image appears.

I had a screening of Avengers: Endgame in the theater tonight. This is the first time I've watched this since it was out in theaters. The combination of madVR's tonemapping and my RS2000 did wonders for this movie. The image quality was astonishingly good. The surround track on this movie is very, very good as well. Lots of ultra low bass moments and great use of surround effects. It will make most theaters break a sweat.

Have a couple RS1000 B-stocks coming in. Have not seen one of these in several months. Contact us for details.

Added
The two sold, but have one more coming in.
