WAYNE, NJ – At NAB, JVC Professional (www.pro.jvc.com) introduced the DLA-HRM1, a new reference monitor that uses the company’s three-chip Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier (D-ILA) technology.
Previously, it was believed that only CRT monitors could provide the contrast and detail necessary for high-end monitoring. But CRT studio reference monitors, JVC feels, don't have the resolution necessary to see the complete picture. The DLA-HRM1 is a departure from conventional CRT based reference monitors. The monitor features superior digital processing, with a color gamut that exceeds Rec. 709 and a contrast ratio of a 3000:1. The case's design allows users to mount the monitor upright or inverted to achieve optimum screen height.
"With our fine pitch D-ILA technology, the DLA-HRM1 can resolve all 1920x1080 pixels, which is not typical of the CRT products currently available and being used for HD reference monitoring," says Carl Mandelbaum, national marketing manager for display products at JVC.
Designed with a custom high resolution and low geometric distortion lens, image clarity is maintained even at the extreme edge of the image. The DLA-HRM1 offers a high contrast, high resolution, anti-glare screen to achieve superior imaging performance. In addition, its larger viewing area allows the operator to easily manage film grain or other fine details in the source material while enabling viewers observing around the monitor to see extremely accurate and high quality images.
The unit measures 30 inches deep and is offered with brightness adjust option that allows for brightness calibration. The monitor accepts inputs that include HD-SDI, SDI, DVI, and HDMI and analog inputs that include a wide selection of computer resolutions, component, S-Video, and composite.
Priced at $44,995, the DLA-HRM1 is now available.
