| Next-generation LCD panel for full high-definition projection |
 |
| The element life of the next-generation
LCD panel has been markedly extended by using an inorganic alignment layer/
normally black mode*. Even after long hours of use, high picture quality is
maintained with high contrast. This 1920 x 1080 dot full-HD resolution LCD
panel can reproduce images of true high-definition quality. |

| * When voltage is not being applied, the liquid crystal molecules are aligned vertically against the glass substrate, so there is no leakage of light as with conventional LCD systems, ensuring more beautiful reproduction of black. |

|
| Newly developed full-HD compatible lens system |
|
| In order to display full-HD resolution, the HC5000 is equipped with a lens system comprised of 17 elements in 14 groups, including three ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses, which are more costly and deliver higher performance than conventional glass lenses. This lens system dramatically improves chromatic aberration and peripheral focus. |

| New optical engine greatly increases installation flexibility |
|
| To allow impressive big-screen images to be enjoyed even in a small room, the HC5000 is equipped with a 1.6x power zoom and focus. The projection distance for a 100-inch (16:9) picture is just 3.1 meters. In addition, to enable the screen adjustments no matter where in the room the projector is placed, there is also a power lens shift for moving the lens vertically and horizontally, greatly increasing installation flexibility. |

| Silicon Optix Reon VX next-generation full 10-bit video processor |
|
| Most high-definition sources employ 1080i interlace signals. When displayed by an LCD projector (fixed-pixel element), they are converted to 1080p signals, and this I/P conversion significantly affects picture quality. The HC5000 is equipped with the latest Reon VX chip produced by the US company Silicon Optix, a chip widely used on high-end AV equipment and which has earned an outstanding reputation among industry professionals. For DVD playback, the HC5000 is also equipped with a high-precision filter for pixel conversion processing and HQV noise reduction to reduce mosquito noise and blocking, ensuring high-quality picture reproduction. |

| One of the industly’s quietest projectors‚ just 19 dB |
|
| Due to the redesigned cooling system and the use of a low-noise fan, operating noise has been reduced to an amazingly low 19 dB. |
|
|
| 14-bit digital gamma control |
|
| The HC5000 features 14 bit gamma control offering 16 times greater gradation of expression than the previous 10 bit gamma control, significantly enhancing the subtle expression of dark areas in movies. |

| Mitsubishi Electric’s unique auto iris for amazing contrast of up to 1‚0000:1 |
|
| The HC5000 is equipped with an auto iris featuring a proprietary Mitsubishi Electric aperture shape. In addition to the brightness information histogram, color information is also detected -- another feature unique to Mitsubishi Electric -- markedly increasing iris control precision. Thanks to Mitsubishi Electric’s original DLE circuit, which automatically controls the contrast to ensure peak expression, the auto iris makes possible the reproduction of pitch black scenes such as a starry sky without reducing the peak expression of the stars. |
 |
Auto Iris 1:
This mode enhances black hues and slows the transition speed to deliver more natural scene changes. Recommended for general movies, operas, and live broadcasts. |
|
Auto Iris 2:
This mode increases contrast of the deepest black hues and also increases the transition speed. |
|
Auto Iris 3:
This mode further increases the transition speed in comparison with Auto Iris 2, with no additional enhancement of black depth. |
