We will showcase a new lineup of JVC D-ILA home theater projectors, including the DLA-NX9, which is equipped with JVC’s unique 8K/e-shift technology. It is the world’s first home theater projector to deliver high-definition 8K image resolution (8192 x 4320 pixels). A demonstration of high-definition 8K image projection will be available at a separate venue (Venetian Tower).

4. New CONNECTED CAM models of JVC professional camcorders

We will showcase GYHC500/HC550 handheld 4K memory card camcorders, which are our new CONNECTED CAM models of professional camcorders featuring extensive connectivity and advanced technologies required for IoT devices. We will propose next-generation solutions that cut cost, time, and labor by delivering extensive connectivity and advanced technologies required for IoT devices, while providing the high definition and quality required by video creation solutions.

5. Technology exhibition and trial listening demonstration of the latest version of EXOFIELD out-of-head localization sound field processing technology

EXOFIELD is our unique sound processing technology, which makes it possible to measure and analyze the personal characteristics of individual users, such as the shapes of their ears and faces, as well as the acoustic characteristics of their audio speakers and listening rooms to perform audio signal processing that is optimally customized to individual users, delivered through out-of-head localization of sound images. Unlike conventional headphones with in-head localization of sound images, it enables reproduction of a sound field and localization of sound images achieved in a typical speaker listening experience even with headphones. This time we will exhibit technology used in the latest version of EXOFIELD, which supports multi-channel audio, and provide a brief trial listening demonstration based on simplified measurements.

Reference Exhibition

Introducing our on-board cameras fitted to cars competing in Super GT—Japan’s top-level racing series

We will introduce our on-board cameras mounted in cars competing in Super GT, Japan’s top-level touring car (modified production cars) racing series, adopted for in-vehicle video recording for their high video quality, as well as durability and ruggedness for cockpit temperatures soar to about 60°C in a race, vibration, and impact shocks during a collision. We will also present a reference exhibition of an on-board camera under development for launch the next season.
