Latin America. JVC presented its new projector, reference DLA-VS2200ZG, designed specifically for simulation environments, planetariums, and other visualization applications. This is the latest model in the Visualization series and offers native resolution of 1920x1080, and its new-generation optical engine offers a native contrast ratio of 18,000:1 minimum.
Built around an optical engine with three imaging devices, the DLA-VS2200ZG offers an adjustable seven-axis color management (CMS) system, 12-bit gamma correction with six user-adjustable gamma presets, 16-stop lens aperture control and 10 bits of color depth through its two HDMI 1.4a inputs.
Its anti-defamation reduction modes reduce image stains during fast-moving scenes through black frame insertion. In addition, with its 230-watt NSH lighting system, the DLA-VS2200ZG offers 850 lumens of day and night precision and 4,000 hours in normal lamp mode, contributing to a lower operating cost.
"Long lamp life is an important consideration for the simulation market as it can help control operating costs. It provides brightness that exceeds FAA regulations, offers fewer lamp changes, and doesn't sacrifice image quality in the process," explained Gary Klasmeier, JVC's engineering product manager.
The projector is housed in a robust chassis for motion-based applications. Its 1.4-2.8:1 zoom lens offers remote focus, +/- 80% vertical compensation and +/- 34% horizontal offset. The projector also includes RS-232C and LAN, as well as an IR cable/remote control for control.
