JVC Press Release: New JVC Laser Projectors Are World’s First With 48Gbps 8K Inputs (1 Viewer)

[DaViD Boulet]

Better to have the option than not and I expect I can use the same less expensive XPAND RF 3D Synchro Emitter and glasses I've used on the previous generation if the polarization stayed the same. JVC never did correct the best glasses recommended on the rs1000, 2000, and 3000. They might be doing the same on the laser projectors. Possibly because they don't have OEM versions but the XPAND emitter and glasses are brighter, less expensive and work much better.

Hey George,

can you provide some detail around the emitter and glasses you have that work well with the legacy NX series (I had read that the polarization of the earlier 1080p models changed with the latest round of native 4K units from JVC and so different eyewear worked better). Unless JVC says differently I would assume since the new NZ line is the same chassis (and same basic optical light path except for HC improvements) it may end up working well with whatever was considered "the best" emitter/eyewear for the NX line (so I'd love to know what that might already be). Naturally if in practice we find out differently that's all good and well... but I'd love to level-up on what we already know based on folks like you with direct experience with 3D on the NX line.

thanks!

I have been told the polarization will be the same as my previous DLA-RS2000 on the new DLA-RS3100 I ordered.

I bought the NEC XpanD 3D RF Transmitter for Projectors/3D Glasses from BH Photo Video and XPAND X105-RF-X1 Rechargeable 3D RF/Bluetooth Glasses, Black from Amazon.

They worked perfectly with my RS2000. I wear glasses under them and while they fit very well, they are not quite as comfortable as the previous generations JVC OEM versions.

BTW AVScience (the vendors not the forum) have worked with crimson to build a 70 pound capable mount with a custom JVC plate. I have one in order now.

What’s MSRP on that crimson mount? The Chief mount is a ridiculous $700.

I’ll pm you

JVC DLA-NZ7 D-ILA Laser Projector Review

JVC's laser-driven DLA-NZ7 comes to market this fall offering the same outstanding picture quality we expect from the company's lamp projectors, along with a high-value price-tag that's sure to catch the eye of enthusiasts.

Wow! That makes me feel a whole lot better about purchasing the Epson 6050 over the 5050. It cost an additional $1000.00 but came with the Chief mount and a spare lamp plus an additional year of warranty.

New JVCs weigh >50 lbs. Current mounts for JVC rated for < 50 lbs. New mounts are being designed. The one I’d seen was stupid expensive. But the one Sam got is <$200.

 

[Sam Posten]

And the guys at AVS are building custom plates for the JVCs and it’s still under $200. Give them a call after you order your PJ from Robert

 

[Robert_Zohn]

Thank you ^ Sam!

 

[Sam Posten]

Thank you too @Robert_Zohn - Over on AVS a number of folks have stated JVC are saying there is a 1 month+ delay due to factory shutdown from Covid. Anything you can add to that?

 

[Robert_Zohn]

Sorry to say that's true. The launch has been pushed back to mid to the end of November and supply will be limited.

That's heavy indeed. Here's a pic of my mount. No doubt it could handle that weight as it's built like a tank and, yes, I need to do some dusting up there.

Anyone know of good “box” mounts, retail or DIY, please lemme know. Links to websites or forum DIY threads or anything. I’ve got a high quality mount for my Sony (a Peer, I think) with micro adjusters. And they slowly wander. My heavy footsteps in the living room vibrate the basement/theater ceiling enough to cause the mount to slowly drift.

The mount also blocks air filter hatch. So I have to take the projector down to clean the filter. That’s a two person job, so super annoying.

I‘d like to change to a box mount, attached rigidly to the ceiling so it can’t wander. And the projector could be adjusted on its feet, and hopefully wander less, but easier to adjust if it does. And maybe easy access to any filter for cleaning.

And with these heavy 50+ lb projectors requiring new mounts…a box mount seems practical.

I know people do this, but I’ve not really seen any retail solutions or DIY guides. I’m reasonably tech smart, but I’m not DIY woodworking smart. I can do stuff with instructions, but don’t know enough to come up with a good design on my own.

Not entirely sure what you mean by "box" mount. Also, a pic of your current setup might be useful.

This is the nicest projector mount I've seen at any price but, unfortunately, they only sell through integration channels.

 

[Sam Posten]

That maxes at 50 pounds too

A ceiling mounted shelf or box or hush box.

Here’s two examples I find with some quick searching. Neither really what I want, but in the right part of the world.

Hack An IKEA Stolman Shelf Into A Sturdy Projector Ceiling Mount

Projector mounts tend to come in two primary guises: stylish or affordable. This DIY IKEA mount manages to combine both types while being incredibly sturdy to boot. It also requires minimal alterations to your ceiling or wall which is handy if you're renting. Here's what you'll need to make one...

True. I would guess it can handle units slightly heavier [the new JVC's seem to be in the 55 pound range] and they're probably working on either a new design or planning to update their specs accordingly. Either way I'd be more concerned about the ceiling studs. No anchor bolts for something that heavy.

How deep is your room? I also have a small basement theater but my house is on a slight slope and only the front half is basement. The back half is crawl space.

I built cabinets for my components and projector myself that extend into the crawl space. The projector opening is small but the cabinet interior space itself is very large, plus I have thermostat-controlled fans and vents. This gives me a throw of
17.4" inches on to a 115” x 49” inch screen. I don’t have to worry about weight.
