A leap forward in image precision, HDR performance, and user control
13 November 2025
JVC has just released firmware version 2.00 for its acclaimed D-ILA NZ800 and NZ900 projectors (and their U.S. counterparts RS3200 / RS4200).
This update delivers substantial upgrades in HDR processing, color management, gaming performance, and user interface refinement, confirming JVC’s commitment to continuous evolution and visual excellence.
🌈 Frame Adapt HDR Vivid — A new dimension of HDR realism
The headline feature of firmware v2.00 is Frame Adapt HDR Vivid, a completely redesigned HDR mode that enhances the dynamic range, brightness, and color richness of HDR10 content.
Building upon JVC’s scene-by-scene and frame-by-frame analysis, this new engine delivers images that are brighter, more dimensional, and more lifelike, without distorting the artistic intent of the filmmaker.
Highlights appear more vivid, shadow detail is preserved, and contrast transitions are smoother — a true step forward in HDR rendering for projection systems.
🎨 Highlight Color Control — Brilliance without compromise
JVC introduces Highlight Color Control, a tool that maintains color saturation in high-intensity areas of the image.
Users can now select between Low, Mid, and High levels to balance brightness and chroma, ensuring vibrant, natural highlights even in the most luminous scenes.
This feature works across all HDR modes — Frame Adapt HDR1, HDR2, and HDR Vivid — making it an essential addition for both cinema enthusiasts and calibrators.
🔧 MPC enhancement and new “Smoother” function
JVC’s proprietary Multi Pixel Control (MPC) technology, which refines sharpness and detail, has been enhanced with a new Smoother function that reduces banding and compression artifacts often visible in streaming or compressed content.
Combined with the projector’s 8K e-shiftX processing, this leads to cleaner, more natural textures while maintaining fine detail integrity.
🎮 Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) — For next-generation gaming
The firmware adds Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for consoles and gaming PCs.
When a compatible device is detected, the projector automatically switches to a low-latency configuration, disabling additional processing such as Frame Adapt HDR or Clear Motion Drive to minimize delay.
This makes the NZ800 and NZ900 true hybrid projectors — equally at home with film and interactive entertainment.
🧠 Improved interface, calibration, and ergonomics
The new On-Screen Display (OSD) introduces several usability improvements:
-
a contextual Guide function explaining each setting,
-
an OSD brightness synchronization option for better visibility in dark environments,
-
and a Dark Mode to reduce eye fatigue during calibration sessions.
The update also adds a new “Calibrator Mode” within JVC’s dedicated software, enabling direct targeting of color temperature, gamma, and gamut with greater precision.
🗝️ Customization and advanced control
The Advanced key on JVC remotes now offers quick access shortcuts to video modes and frequently adjusted image settings.
Users can store their preferred presets for instant recall — an elegant touch that enhances the professional usability of the NZ series.
⚙️ Free upgrade, global rollout
Firmware V2.00 is available now as a free download for the DLA-NZ900, DLA-NZ800, DLA-RS4200, and DLA-RS3200 projectors.
Installation is simple via USB or network connection, and users can immediately benefit from these significant improvements in HDR quality, interface design, and versatility.
