SlashGear Week in Review

By Chris Davies on Sunday, May 4th 2008 No Comments

More speed, more gameplay and more pixels has been the theme of the week, with a variety of new hardware launches and upgrades together with some long awaited titles getting released. Apple lived up to the rumors and introduced new processors and faster FSB for their iMac range, together with stirring up a little controversy over whether they’d had access to Intel’s future product line first. Faux-Apple hardware also get plenty of attention, as Psystar’s OS X-running Open Computer took time out from being sniped at by fanboys to get benchmarked.

JVC create 35-megapixel 8k x 4k projector LCD

By Chris Davies on Friday, May 2nd 2008 No Comments

This is one of those situations where a diagram helps to describe far more than words could manage. JVC have unveiled a 1.75-inch 8K4K D-ILA (Direct-Drive Image Light Amplifier) – in other words, the panel found in LCD projectors that creates the picture – capable of 17x full, 1080p high-definition. That works out to a roughly 35-megapixel image, or 8,192 x 4,320 resolution. In this diagram, the little green box in the lower left-hand corner is your beautiful new HDTV; the big blue oblong, together with the yellow section at the side, is the new JVC projection.

This amazing HD camera has 3 CCDs and can record at a max resolution of 1440×1080. You don’t have to try and store that video on a flash card either, which might get you an hour of record time at that resolution, instead, there is a 60GB HDD built in.

CES 2008: JVC show dual-iPod speaker dock

By Chris Davies on Sunday, Jan 6th 2008 No Comments

While JVC’s NX-PN7 might look like a convoluted way to get stereoscopic vision from a couple of iPods, in actual fact it’s a dual-PMP speaker dock that can recharge and play music from two of Apple’s shiny devices. Sadly the feature we’d really like to see – swapping music from one iPod to another – is forbidden by our fruity overlords, so we’ll have to make do with an IR remote with “dedicated iPod control keys”, an FM/AM radio and light-up strips that can change to any of nine colours.

The JVC DLA-RS2 LCOS 1080p gets reviewed

By Daniel Lim on Wednesday, Dec 12th 2007 2 Comments

JVS last 1080p projector with D-ILA technology, DLA-RS1, was a big hit despite the oversaturated color dispute among the videophiles. The successor RS2 doubled the NATIVE contrast ratio to a whopping 30,000:1. It also added Vertical Stretch support for anamorphic lens fanatic, 1.3b hdmi spec for deep color and motorized zoom and focus. What’s not compare to presuccessor is the lumens spec drop and price increment.

JVC Victor unnamed projector is amazing

By James Allan Brady on Friday, Oct 5th 2007 No Comments

And by amazing I mean roughly 4k worth of amazing. That’s not the price either, no that will probably be considerably higher, the 4k is a reference to the 4096×2400 (aka quad-HD) resolution.

Did I mention the 10k:1 contrast ratio? No? What about the 3500 lumens that beam up to a 200” picture up to 7 meters away?

JVC XA-AW33 floating audio player

By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Oct 4th 2007 No Comments

JVC has been showing off its new XA-AW33 floating audio player at CEATEC 2007. Just imagine one of those floating chlorine tablet things, but sealed off and with media controls on the top and you pretty much have got a good image what this thing looks like.

There is some sort of special speaker in this thing from NXT which is a UK tech company. I can’t see a speaker on top, or on the bottom, so I am going to assume it is the gap that makes a ring around the devices top half.

CEDIA 2007 – JVC launches flagship Procision A/V range

By Chris Davies on Friday, Sep 7th 2007 No Comments

If Sony thought they were going to have things all their own way with the launch of their stonking Bravia projectors then they obviously hadn’t paid attention to fellow CEDIA 2007 attendee JVC. The company’s new flagship Procision range is intended for custom installs and prosumer home cinema fanatics, and at its pinnacle are two D-ILA front projectors, the DLA-HD1 and DLA-HD100.

Concept: JVC Quasar, 360 Degree Sound

By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Aug 29th 2007 No Comments

This polyhedron of immeasurable proportions is a concept of a sound system that spits out sound to all 360 degrees. Now if that’s too much geometry for you, it’s a speaker that instead of outputting sound through one face or side, it outputs through all of them.

The one thing you would expect a unit like this to do is surround sound; sadly that is not the case. It won’t do surround sound, but it should sound the same in a given room regardless of where you place it.
