JVC announces availability of new LX-NZ30 4K/HDR projector with gaming support
Low latency, 3,300-lumen brightness and 20,000-hour lifespan for extremely rich video content
Unveiled at CES 2023, JVCKENWOOD Corporation’s new LX-NZ30 4K/HDR projector with gaming support up to 1080p/240 Hz expands the company’s range of projectors and is now available in the Italian market. Ideal for gaming due to high frame rates and home theater, the new model offers a high resolution of 4K/3840 x 2160 pixels and is equipped with a new high-power BLU-Escent laser technology light source that delivers a brightness of 3,300 lumens, as well as ensuring an operating life of 20,000 hours. Also, supported both HDR10 and HLG formats with automatic image mode selection.
BLU-Escent technology: brightness of 3,300 lumens
The lighting system is based on JVC’s BLU-Escent laser technology that can guarantee high performance thanks to the 105W blue diode laser that replaces the previous 95W version, enabling a higher brightness of 3,300 lumens, 10 percent more than the previous model (LX-NZ3). The high brightness allows the projector to be used in rooms with diffuse ambient lighting, as well as improving peak brightness when viewing HDR content by offering images with a wider dynamic range.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology for extremely rich video content
HDR content can be projected with sharp, higher quality and dynamic images. In addition to the HDR 10 format adopted in Blu-rayTM ULTRA HD, it also supports the HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) standard used in TV broadcasting. The projector automatically switches to the mode that provides the best playback quality based on the detected signal, so you can enjoy HDR content without having to adjust individual settings.
Ideal for gaming
The LX-NZ30 projector supports inputs up to 1080P/240 Hz with a very low latency of only 6.25 ms*1, enabling users to enjoy gaming content at a much higher frame rate than conventional projectors. This results in the smoothest playback ever on the largest projection screens, making it ideal for gaming. JVC’s new projector is compatible with many devices, thanks to its connectivity: in addition to two HDMI 2.2 inputs, it has a DisplayPort 1.2a input for direct connection with PCs, USB Direct Connect, RS232C and LAN control ports, and a 12V Trigger port.
High-performance dynamic light intensity control
The new LX-NZ30 features High performance Dynamic Dimming Control (HDDC) technology to instantly adjust the light output of the laser light source, offering dynamic brightness adjustment with less delay than a conventional mechanical aperture. By controlling the laser output according to the brightness of the scene, black levels are improved and the projector can reproduce images closer to human visual perception.
Easy to install.
The “Lens shift” function (optical decentering) allows lens adjustment with a wide range of translations (±60% vertically, ±23% horizontally) and a 1.6x zoom allows projections from a distance of about 3m to 4.8m for a screen size of 100 inches, as well as greater installation flexibility. In addition, the LX-NZ30 comes with several other new adjustment features: angle adjustment allows action on all four angles, while “warping” allows distortion correction for each area. Combined with the lens adjustment provided by “lens shift,” this allows installation with a high degree of flexibility.
These features combined with the compact size of the product-width of about 405 mm (15 7/8″) and depth of about 341 mm (13 1/16″)-offers high adaptability to all environments, enabling a truly easy and versatile installation that meets everyone’s space requirements.
Equipped with a 0.47-inch DMDTM chip and four-way e-shift technology, the LX-NZ30 offers high-resolution (4K) video display with more than 8 million addressable pixels.
The new LX-NZ30 video projector will be available from May in two colors — black and white — at a price of €3,699.99.
