JVC DLA-NP5B 4K Native Home Theatre Projector

Description

4K Native Home Theatre Projector 1900 Lumens Laser 

The JVC DLA-NP5B D-ILA home theater projector features a 4K120p input to reproduce full 4K-resolution (4096 x 2160 pixels) images. 4K120p input also makes the projector ideal for gaming when combined with Low Latency mode. The projector is driven by three 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA devices, and 17-element, 15-group all glass lens with 65 mm diameter to project high-resolution images to every corner of the screen with a brightness as high as 1,900 lumens. Compatible with the latest HDR10+, HLG, and Frame Adapt HDR with Theater optimiser, the projector is designed to present industry leading HDR performance.

4K Native Resolution

Equipped with refined 0.69" native 4K D-ILA device and newly developed digital driver LSI for native 4K resolution.

D-ILA projectors continue to evolve for the better. The latest three models feature an original native 0.69" 4K D-ILA devices, which were first adopted on model DLA-Z1; this device has been improved with process refinements on planarization and reflection efficiency to achieve higher contrast and brightness. Additionally, a dedicated driver LSI was also enhanced to simultaneously drive each of the three (R/G/B) native 4K D-ILA devices at high-speed 120fps. As a result, precise and smooth image projection unique to 4K native can be achieved with the combination of a new device and new driver LSI.

HDR10+ Support Allows a Choice for Two Dynamic Tone Mappings

When it comes to reproducing the rich video information of HDR content including the extended brightness range, BT.2020 wide colour gamut and 10-bit gradation, rely on one of the new D-ILA projectors. New models support all HDR formats including HDR10 for Blu-ray and streaming, HLG for broadcasting, and the latest HDR10+ signal format with dynamic metadata compatibility.

JVC projectors are compatible with the two dynamic tone mappings of HDR10+ and Frame Adapt HDR. HDR10+ contains the metadata of the producer's intentions for each scene, Frame Adapt HDR instantly analyses the peak brightness in HDR10 content using an original algorithm. Ensuring you can watch any HDR content in optimal picture quality.

Frame Adapt HDR Function

The Frame Adapt HDR function enables reproduction of any HDR10 content dynamically and in high-resolution!

The colour grading of HDR content varies, some HDR content are adjusted to bright side and others to the dark side. Using JVC’s original algorithm, Frame Adapt HDR instantly analyses the peak brightness in HDR10 content frame-by-frame and in real time adjusts the projector to the optimum dynamic range. What’s more, the gamma processing accuracy of gradation performance has been improved dramatically from, 12-bit to 18-bit.

All these advancements help to bring out deeper blacks in darker scenes, and higher peaks in brighter scenes without losing colours. Reproducing images with smooth gradations, that are closer to reality as seen by the human eye. (*from firmware version 3.10 and higher)

In the picture, scene 1 represents a dark scene, scene 2 a bright scene and scene 3 a combination of bright and dark.

 4K120p input ideal for Low Latency Mode

Because these projectors are equipped with 4K120p input, signal latency is infinitesimal, making it effective when displaying high frame-rate gaming content on large screens. What’s more, Low Latency Mode reduces delay in displaying PC signals and games, and improves response to the users’ rapid operations. 

Features

The latest JVC projector boasts a powerful array of advanced features designed for premium home theater performance. At its core are three newly developed 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA devices (4096 x 2160), delivering true 4K resolution with exceptional clarity and detail. With a high brightness output of 1,900 lumens and a native contrast ratio of 40,000:1 (expandable to a dynamic contrast ratio of 400,000:1), the projector produces vibrant, high-resolution images with deep blacks and remarkable depth. A premium 17-element, 15-group all-glass lens with a 65mm diameter ensures image sharpness across the entire screen. HDR performance is equally impressive, with support for both HDR10+ and JVC’s Frame Adapt HDR featuring Theater Optimizer. The projector intelligently adjusts tone mapping in real time using HDR10+ metadata or environmental input—such as screen size and gain—in Frame Adapt HDR mode. Enhanced gamma processing now achieves 18-bit equivalent precision, producing smoother gradations and more natural color transitions. When HDR10 content is detected, the projector automatically switches to the appropriate HDR picture mode and can display MaxCLL and MaxFALL mastering data from UHD Blu-ray discs.

The dual HDMI 2.1 inputs (48 Gbps, HDCP 2.3) support 4K120P signals, enabling ultra-smooth motion ideal for gaming and fast-paced content. Compatibility with Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) ensures readiness for future HDR broadcast formats. Installation flexibility is enhanced with 10 customizable modes that store settings like lens control, pixel adjustment, screen masking, and keystone correction, allowing for optimal viewing in a variety of environments. Motion handling is significantly improved thanks to an upgraded Clear Motion Drive (supporting 4K60P 4:4:4) and Motion Enhance technology, which minimizes blurring during fast-moving scenes. Gamers benefit from Low Latency Mode, which reduces input lag for faster response times. A robust 6-axis Color Management System, Auto-Calibration (with JVC software and optical sensor), and ISF C3 Certified Calibration Controls ensure fine-tuned image accuracy. For 3D viewing, the projector supports RF transmission with optional PK-AG3 3D glasses and the PK-EM2 Sync Emitter, delivering up to 100 hours of immersive 3D playback. Theater Optimizer is exclusive to Frame Adapt HDR mode and requires the use of JVC’s proprietary PC software and a compatible optical sensor, available via the JVC website.
