Upgrading our cinema - the perfect picture with JVC 8K
It’s two years since we launched our amazing cinema demonstration room at Ablectrics, working with Owen from Cinemaworks, and today we’re delighted to announce a major upgrade, with an 8K JVC NZ800 D-ILA projector.
Owen from Cinemaworks explains:
‘Our original Sony XW-5000ES unit is a great projector - detailed, dynamic, bright and colourful.'
However with our 3m width screen I really wanted extra brightness, especially useful when you’re watching with a bit of ambient light, or using one of the LED pixel lighting scenes in the cinema. The new JVC has 2700 lumens to the Sony’s 2000 - a 35% increase - and it really shows, the picture is nice and punchy even with the lights up a bit, so that maximises the usability of the room, making it even better for mixed-use and social watching, rather than just a dedicated movie room.’
‘It’s also an upgrade in many other areas - the new projector supports 8K resolutions and uses enhanced video processing to deliver extra detail even when you’re watching 4K and HD material. The lens system is all-glass and that really shows up in extra detail and clarity when you’re watching. Finally, the advanced tone-mapping onboard really gets the best from HDR video - this is what third-party video processors do, but the JVC NZ800 has it onboard.’
Early in 2025 we’ll also be adding a custom-made port glass to completely remove the projector noise from the cinema room itself. That’ll be a massive audio upgrade - the room is already very quiet since the projector lives next door, but when it’s silent you can hear every whisper and every breath, which enhances the emotional impact of the piece.
