JVC is demoing what it claims to be the first home theater projectors to gain THX 3D Display Certification, and as of CES, the only certified projectors. The 2D and 3D supported Procision Series DLA-X9 and DLA-X7 may also have applications in production and postproduction.
According to JVC, the projectors offer THX Cinema Mode to ensure that color reproduction, luminance, blacks, gamma and video processing matches what the filmmaker intended; and THX 3D Cinema Mode, for accurate color in 3D, while minimizing sources of cross-talk and flicker. All THX Modes on JVC projectors can be accessed by THX Professional Calibrators.
Each projector includes two HDMI 1.4a ports and supports side-by-side, frame packing, and above-below 3D transmissions. Both are designed around JVC’s third generation D-ILA technology.
The DLA-RS60/DLA-X9 lists for $11,995, and the DLA-RS50/DLA-X7 for $7,995. JVC’s PK-AG1 active shutter 3D glasses are priced as $179 and PK-EM1 3D Signal Emitter at $79. Besides the THX Certified models, JVC offers a third 3D-enabled Procision projector, the DLA-X3, available now at $4,495.
