Η JVC ανακοίνωσε το νέο Home Theater Optimizer, το οποίο αποτελεί μέρος της επεξεργασίας Frame Adapt HDR στους οικιακούς προβολείς D-ILA, μέσω μιας δωρεάν αναβάθμισης υλικολογισμικού.
Μια ωράα έκπληξη περιμένει τους ιδιοκτήτες των Native 4K και 8K e-shift προβολέων της JVC, όπως οι DLA-N5, DLA-N7, DLA-NX9. Η πρόσφατα φημολογούμενη αναβάθμιση του firmware, όπως σας είχαμε ενημερώσει, για τη λειτουργία Frame Adapt HDR, θα προσδώσει μια σημαντική αναβάθμιση της απόδοσης μια και θα βελτιώνει αυτόματα το HDR με βάση το συγκεκριμένο περιβάλλον οικιακού κινηματογράφου.
Η λειτουργία Theatre Optimizer ρυθμίζει έξυπνα το “Tone Mapping” αναλύοντας τα χαρακτηριστικά εγκατάστασης. Το μόνο που πρέπει να κάνει ο χρήστης είναι απλώς να εισάγει το μέγεθος και το gain της οθόνης και το Theatre Optimizer λαμβάνοντας υπόψη αυτά τα δεδομένα θα προσαρμόσει με μια σειρά εσωτερικών ρυθμίσεων την εικόνα για να δημιουργήσει την καλύτερη διαθέσιμη απόδοση HDR περιεχομένου.
Το ενημερωμένο “Frame Adapt HDR with Theatre Optimizer” θα είναι διαθέσιμο ως δωρεάν αναβάθμιση υλικολογισμικού τον Νοέμβριο του 2020 για όλους τους πελάτες με τα ακόλουθα μοντέλα: DLA-N5, DLA-N7, DLA-NX9, DLA-RS1000, DLA-RS2000 & DLA-RS3000 .

Updated Frame Adapt HDR
JVC originally introduced Frame Adapt HDR in October 2019 — adding dynamic tone mapping to their Native 4K and 8K e-shift home theater projectors. This is now updated, 4K HDR10 streaming, games and Blu-ray content are automatically adjusted for optimized brightness, color and detail on a frame by frame or scene by scene basis.
Color grading of HDR10 content varies depending on the source material. Optimal viewing can be difficult as the brightness of this content also varies dramatically. Using JVC’s original algorithm, Frame Adapt HDR instantly analyzes the peak brightness of HDR10 content (including Dolby Vision titles) and adjusts the optimal dynamic range in real time. All HDR10 related picture settings are automatically fine-tuned for the best on-screen image with no need for user adjustment.
Theater Optimizer:
Each projection home theater environment is unique, as is each projector. Image brightness varies from system to system, and changes over time. JVC’s new Theater Optimizer is a smart function that addresses these distinct characteristics.
Theater Optimizer allows the installer or user to input the screen size and gain information which varies depending on the theater design, and then calculates installation information such as lens zoom position, and lamp condition and settings. It then automatically adjusts the projector for optimum tone mapping and brightness. By adding this function to Frame Adapt HDR, JVC allows each user to enjoy HDR10 content matched to the viewing environment without complicated manual adjustments.
18-bit level gamma processing is maintained while the feature is in use, bringing out deeper blacks in darker scenes, and higher peak whites in brighter scenes, along with the most realistic color, to reproduce high precision images with smooth gradations.
In response to user requests, the upgrade offers newly added settings and improved menu operations with this firmware update. Frame Adapt HDR brightness adjustment has been increased to five steps (previously three steps), and users can choose the picture mode according to input signals.
Complicated individual manual settings that were required in the past are now eliminated. With the newly added functions, users can easily enjoy powerful HDR images with these JVC projectors.
Firmware Update Summary:
1. Theater Optimizer smart function, analyzes the usage environment for each user, and displays HDR content with optimum brightness*
2. New Settings & Menu Structure
(1) Brightness levels settings are increased to five steps for the Frame Adapt HDR function
(was previously three steps).
(2) New Content Type menu, which displays usable Picture Mode based on each input signal.
Only the Picture Mode matching the input signal can be selected, preventing image distortion due to gamma and color gamut mismatch.
(3) Function which automatically switches to the optimal Color Profile according to the color gamut information of the content.
(4) Added Auto Pic. Mode Select function transitions according to each input signal (SDR/3D/HDR10/HLG).
(5) Picture Mode for Panasonic’s Ultra HD Blu-ray player DP-UB9000 Ultra HD Blu-ray player.
Added Picture Mode, which allows easy and optimized connection without individual manual settings.
(6) Improved JVC Calibration Software
*Theater Optimizer function is valid only in “Frame Adapt HDR” picture mode.
