V4K™ Enhanced Resolution [3840 x 2180]
Wolf Cinema's V4K™ Technology
Originally developed by Japan's NHK Engineering and the Victor Company of Japan [JVC] and also called "e-shift" in other
devices, this unique technology implementation by Wolf Cinema delivers an HD image with 4 times the pixel density of
standard 1920 x 1080 sources.
The original 1080p signal is first processed with an advanced imaging algorithm to improve edge transitions, eliminate aliasing
and stair-stepping, and increase contrast within each video frame. Each frame is then temporally separated into two sub-frames
[at 1920 x 1080 pixels each] and projected through the D-ILA engine and the V4K™ processing panel. This panel utilizes a
property of liquid crystals called bi-refringence and can rapidly switch between straight light and refracted light by 0.5 pixel,
shifted both vertically and horizontally. New "sub pixels" are thus generated based on this process and a true 3840 x 2160
video frame is created. Amazingly this process has no moving parts and results in a smooth, film-like image with minimal
visible pixel structure.
To see the benefits of this remarkable V4K light engine, you can turn the processor on and off via the following remote
control commands: Press the [OK] key, then in sequence [RIGHT] / [LEFT] / [RIGHT] / [LEFT]. A small window will appear in
the upper right hand corner of the screen, indicating the V4K processor is ON. Simply depress the [RIGHT] key to turn the V4K
processor to the OFF mode. Depress the [RIGHT] key again to turn it back on. Insure that you have the V4K engine turned ON,
then select the [BACK] or [MENU] button to end this demonstration.
Note: This V4K demonstration feature is only possible when watching 2D content.
