JVC Pro’s Gary Klasmeier tells us why it raises the reference video bar. It took a bit of time for Blu-ray to catch on; how do you think 4K will phase into home entertainment?

A strong case could be made that no entity has played a bigger role in the growth of projection-based home entertainment systems than JVC and its sister company JVC Professional. JVC and JVC Professional recently introduced several new products each, and highlighting the list of new products is JVC Professional's DLA-RS65 Reference Series projector. The DLA-RS65 utilizes familiar JVC technologies such as the company's D-ILA LCoS-based chipset and new JVC technologies that include e-Shift.
