The Power of 4K Image Displays — Super
High-Definition Pictures that Surpass Full HD.
The feeling of actually being immersed into a picture, an unprecedented visual sensation, is now
being realized with 4K-resolution. JVC's professional projector business, nurtured by its high-
definition expertise, has integrated with e-Shift technology to enhance the potential of realism in
home theater projectors. The incredible picture resolution of 4K projection surpasses that of full
high-definition to ensure a masterful reproduction of details as well as clear, realistic representations
of texture. Now everyone can enjoy a remarkable viewing experience unlike anything before seen in a
home theater environment.

Super High-definition 4K Projection (3,840 x 2,160 pixels)
JVC’s Original Advanced Image-processing Technologies
JVC's advanced image-processing technologies ensure high
definition through the use of precise detection and restoration
algorithms. The former analyzes pixel information within
different areas of the frame; the latter restores the high-frequency
components that are missing in low-resolution images. Further
quality enhancement is achieved via contrast correction and jagged
edge reduction. The overall result is a picture that looks real down to
the smallest detail.
Jagged edges are eliminated in diagonal sections for sharper images.
Original Results of JVC technologies
Faithful reproduction of contrast even for intricate details.
Clearer images with reduced noise and less blur.
Original Close-up view
In addition to a Full HD D-ILA device, the DLA-X90R and X70R
feature a newly developed optical engine incorporating new e-Shift
technology to realize super high-definition projection of 4K-resolution
(3,840 x 2,160 pixels).
These projectors take any compatible 2D 1920 x 1080 signal and scale
that signal to 3840 x 2160 resolution. Once this 3840 x 2160 image
is created, the JVC projector divides it into two 1920 x 1080 sub
frames which are displayed at high speed using our exclusive e-Shift
device. The e-Shift device shifts the second frame by ½ a pixel in each
direction. The viewer’s eye combines
these two subframes to see the
full 3840 x 2160 image, effectively
doubling the resolution of traditional
Full HD.
Unlike simple resolution-upscaling technology, the use of a device
that is capable of displaying 4K-resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels)
drastically improves picture quality to ensure exceptional precision
and full presence.

D-ILA 3D Projection Leaps
Forward in Quality.
Frame Addressing ― the D-ILA Method
Thanks to JVC’s original D-ILA driving method, Frame Addressing
reproduces more colorful and vivid 3D video content with reduced
crosstalk (image overlapping). What’s more, this technology
incorporates newly developed driving circuitry that helps to
drastically improve image brightness. This means that with JVC’s
D-ILA projectors, anyone can enjoy breathtaking and impressive 3D
video content just like that seen at cinemas, right in the comfort of
their living rooms.
An alternative driving method known as “line addressing” utilizes a
fast-shutter approach, but when the shutters are switched between
the left and right eyes, crosstalk can be generated where the left
and right images overlap. This crosstalk occurs because the shutter
on 3D glasses is opened for a shorter amount of time compared
to the D-ILA method which causes the picture to darken and lose
brightness. However, JVC’s Frame Addressing driving method
draws images in a single frame at one time, enabling the shutter on
the 3D glasses for one eye to remain open for an extended period,
which ultimately realizes a brighter 3D picture with less crosstalk.
Fully equipped with an array of beneficial 3D functions such as 2D-3D conversion and 3D picture
adjustment, JVC’s D-ILA projectors take a significant leap forward in picture quality by delivering a more
realistic 3D video experience that is simply packed with presence.

Crosstalk Canceling
Disparity Adjustment
To adjust for the parallax difference between each eye, this function
finely controls image disparity between the left eye and right eye to
ensure more natural stereoscopic reproduction with less distortion.
Depth Adjustment:
3D effects, especially
depth characteristics, can
be adjusted to match the
content source or viewer
preferences.
Subtitle Adjustment :

2D-3D Conversion
Options to Enjoy 3D Viewing
The real-time 2D-3D converter featured on JVC’s IF-2D3D1
Professional 3D Image Processor, which has earned an excellent
reputation in film and 3D video production/editing studios, has been
modified for home projector use and is now featured on the
DLA-X90R/X70R/X30 projectors. This means that 2D video recorded
on camcorders and from TV broadcasts can be converted into 3D
video instantaneously for home stereoscopic viewing enjoyment.

Notes about viewing 3D video content
• The optional 3D Synchro Emitter and 3D glasses are required to
view 3D images from the D-ILA projectors. 3D video software (3D
media or output of 3D broadcasts) and a 3D-compatible video
player are also required.
• Perception of 3D images will vary with individual viewers.
• Stop viewing 3D images immediately if any discomforts such
as headaches, dizziness, eye fatigue, etc. occur.
• Viewing of 3D images by children under the age of ve is not
recommended.
• Read the Safety Precautions in the User Manual carefully before
viewing any 3D source.
The innovative Crosstalk Canceling function drastically reduces
crosstalk from intensity levels that are likely to generate this
phenomenon by first analyzing the video signal for the left and
right eyes and then correcting the levels via an original algorithm.
This ensures the reproduction of more natural and clear pictures
that are easier on the eyes to heighten the viewing enjoyment of
more realistic 3D video content.
