JVC DLA-VS2500: projection with BLU-Escent laser hybrid lighting technology for simulation

JVC's new DLA-VS2500 projector incorporates BLU-Escent laser hybrid lighting technology, which maintains its intensity significantly better than lamp-based systems, allows installation at any projection angle for simulation applications and has an intelligent smear reduction system.

JVC Professional Products Company, division of JVC Americas Corp., has presented its new BLU-Escent laser hybrid lighting technology for its professional projectors intended for the simulation market in the 2014 Flight Simulator Engineering & Maintenance Conference (FSEMC), which was celebrated from 15 al 18 September in Tulsa, Oklahola (EU).

BLU-Escent technology has been incorporated into the new DLA-VS2500 projector for simulation applications, since it provides low operating costs by not using lamps, very important feature in this demanding environment.

Concretely, This technology uses blue laser diode modules to excite yellow phosphor elements located on a high-speed rotating aluminum disk.. Thanks to the distribution of the luminescent phosphor on the periphery of the disc, a large area of ​​phosphor surface dedicated to illumination can be used., which provides longer operational life to the equipment. Besides, the high rotation speed of the aluminum disc allows for very efficient cooling of the phosphor elements.

The system offers several advantages over projectors that use lamps to provide illumination, as a better conservation of colorimetry over time; Larger output brightness adjustment range; automatic intensity control; Longer optical system operating life and less frequent maintenance intervals.

Another benefit is that BLU-Escent technology is more environmentally friendly as it is free of mercury and works at a cooler temperature than a lamp-based projector..

With a similar size to the DLA-VS2400 model presented last year, The DLA-VS2500 projector retains and maintains brightness levels significantly better than lamp-based systems and allows installation at any projection angle.. With UHD resolution (3.840×2.160 points) and an intelligent smear reduction system, This system will be officially presented next December at the I/ITSEC contest 2014 in orlando (Florida).

Rod Sterling, technical director of JVC Technology Center, has stated that “we are the first company to offer a projector for the simulation market with laser hybrid lighting technology.”, which provides high performance and an excellent contrast ratio. It's all about getting the image quality of the D-ILA chip, that identifies JVC projectors, without the drawbacks of LED lighting technologies, while not having to replace any lamps, the operating costs of a simulation system are significantly reduced, particularly in multi-screen installations and mission-critical locations”.
