A new mode for experienced calibrators
Version 1.20 introduces Calibrator Mode, an advanced option for finer, more personalized color calibration. This mode is only available on certain models (DLA-NZ900, DLA-NZ800, DLA-RS4200, DLA-RS3200) and requires the projector firmware to be updated to version 2.00 or later. This mode also lets you adjust light source power (LD Power) during calibration, as well as test pattern size, offering greater flexibility depending on the projection environment.
Enhanced compatibility with Datacolor sensors
With version 2.00, the software extends compatibility to new calibration sensors from Datacolor. The Spyder, Spyder Pro and Spyder Express models are now supported, in addition to the previous SpyderX versions. This gives users a wider choice of sensors for their measurements, with built-in support for features such as reference sensor emulation, which aligns the results obtained with a Spyder with those of a professional reference sensor.
Simplified yet precise
The software remains compatible with JVC projectors from the DLA-NZ500 to NZ900 and DLA-RS1200 to RS4200 ranges, and only runs on Windows 11 from version 1.20, as Windows 10 is no longer supported. The software requires prior network configuration between the PC and projector via a LAN cable, as well as installation of the sensor driver. JVC specifies that certain settings must be deactivated to ensure correct calibration, such as ECO mode and certain color profile management options.
Summary
Versions 1.20 and 2.00 of JVC Projector Calibration Software 14 mark a significant evolution for users wishing to fine-tune the image quality of their JVC projectors. With the addition of Calibrator Mode, new adjustment options and greater compatibility with Datacolor sensors, the software is now even more precise and flexible. These improvements confirm JVC’s determination to offer tools adapted to the needs of enlightened amateurs and image professionals alike.
