JVC will release V.2.XX firmware with improvements for the DLA-NZ9/DLA-RS4100, DLA-NZ8/DLA-RS3100, DLA-NZ7/DLA-RS2100, and DLA-NP5/DLA-RS1100. It will be a free update for those projectors, available at https://www.jvc.com/global/support, and intended for users whose current firmware is Ver.1.24 or earlier.Changes will include enhancement to the company's Frame Adapt HDR scheme, which gets a new Auto (Wide) mode added to the existing Auto mode in the HDR Quantizer setting that will put more emphasis on brightness. Two additional picture modes will also be added to Frame Adapt HDR to allow for multiple memory settings for different room and ambient light conditions.Supported laser light engine projectors (so, not the lamp-based DLA-NP5/DLA-RS1100) are getting a new dynamic laser control. Previously, the control was based on average luminance of an entire scene, but now the adjustment is based on peak luminance, which will result in increased dynamic range. This improved contrast will be seen no matter the overall scene brightness.The firmware will also add Filmmaker Mode—a picture mode developed by the UHD Alliance in collaboration with movie and TV studios, directors, content distributors, consumer electronics manufacturers, and device manufacturers that aims to deliver an image as the creators intended it to be seen. It does this by automatically turning off picture adjustments like frame interpolation and noise reduction (which many of us do anyway) and setting the color temperature to the neutral, industry-standard D65 gray.A final firmware improvement is the addition of the latest screens to the Screen Adjustment Mode, including those from domestic and international manufacturers.
nice, love when companies continue to improve their existing products

I installed this last week on our RS2100 in the demo room, I noticed an improvement in handshakes. There is still a pause but it seems to be less time than previously, and more so I have noticed no more of the double handshake if you will. Sometimes on the previous firmware it would seem like the projector connected to the AVR switching but an image wouldn't appear on screen, it would then repeat the handshake and picture would appear. So far with the new firmware I have not experienced this issue. Switching between a 4k Apple TV, Kaliedescape player and Reavon 4K player.
