JVC Debuts DLA-VS2200ZG Simulation Projector
JVC Professional Products today announced the DLA-VS2200ZG D-ILA projector, which the company claims is specifically engineered for simulation environments, planetariums and other visualization applications. Using a new 1920×1080 resolution D-ILA optical projection engine, JVC says it offers a delivers a minimum 18,000:1 native contrast ratio.
Using three D-ILA imaging devices (RGB), the DLA-VS2200ZG offers a seven-axis adjustable color management system (CMS), 12-bit gamma correction with six user adjustable gamma presets, 16 step lens aperture control, and 10-bit color depth via its two HDMI 1.4a inputs. Its anti-smear reduction modes reduce image smearing during fast-motion scenes through black frame insertion.
JVC also says a new 1/16 sub-pixel convergence correction delivers more precise picture alignment than past D-ILA models and it uses a 230-watt NSH illumination system that’s spec’d to deliver 850 lumens for daytime and nighttime flight training, and 4,000 hours in normal lamp mode, which contribute to a lower cost of ownership.
Housed in a rugged chassis for motion-based applications, the DLA-VS2200ZG features wire grid polarizers and inorganic optical components for long life performance. Its 1.4-2.8:1 zoom lens offers remote zoom and focus, +/- 80 percent vertical offset, and +/- 34 percent horizontal offset. The projector also includes RS232c and LAN connections as well as a wired/IR remote for control.
Finally, this same model is available without a lens, dubbed the DLA-VS2200G. Both projectors maintain the same form factor as previous models, and use the same mounting hardware and lenses, so projector replacement in existing installations is simplified. The DLA-VS2200ZG and DLA-VS2200G are now shipping.
