| Newly Developed Diamond Black Iris with 1/60-second
Iris Control |
 |
| Evolutionary advancements in the HC7000 include
the adoption of Mitsubishi's original Diamond Black Iris technology.
The iris section takes on a "diamond-cut" shape that
prevents light refraction and realizes an enhanced level of
contrast. True blacks are clearly depicted even during sequences
of continual bright-dark scene intervals, ensuring the reproduction
of every detail with vivid clarity. Combined together with
Mitsubishi's innovative contrast control, a perfect balance
between blacks, the brightest whites and the full color spectrum
in between is achieved. |

| Extra-low Dispersion Glass Lens for Superior High-definition
Resolution |
|
| Superior image
reproduction is provided using a 17-piece/14 cluster
optical system equipped with extra-low dispersion (ED)
lenses. Far exceeding the performance of conventional
glass lenses, chromatic aberration is virtually eliminated
and resolution across the entire screen, including the
peripheral edges, is improved. Equipped with a fixed
aperture, reproduction of every shade, from grays to
the deepest of blacks, is ensured. |

| New Optics Compensation Panel Realizes Precise
Light Focusing and an Amazing Level of High-contrast Images |
|
| Conventional projectors commonly have problems
related to loss of light intensity; not so with the HC7000.
Degraded polarization results from the offset position of
the liquid crystal elements. An optical compensation panel
has been newly developed and installed between the liquid
crystal panel and polarization filter. This panel corrects
the optical projection angle and prevents light leakage,
thereby preserving the intensity and realizing new heights
in the level of contrast. Together with our high-speed Diamond
Black Iris, a high contrast of 72000:1 is achieved for the
HC7000. |

| Innovative Liquid Crystal Panel Cooling System Design
Realizes Industry-leading Quiet Operation - 17dBA (at low mode) |
|
| A new cooling system is introduced for the liquid
crystal panel. It includes a new cooling duct design for the new
chassis, a smaller fan motor and a large (low-noise) sirocco fan.
As a result, a larger air-intake area is secured and the fan operates
at a slower speed, providing improved cooling efficiency owing to
the hermetic performance of the new chassis. The end result is industry-leading
quiet operation of 17dBA (at low mode). Mitsubishi always aims to
produce the quietest projectors in the market. |

| Precision Enhanced with the Addition of Fixed
Film/Video Mode to the "Reon-VX" IC from Silicon
Optics Inc. |
|
Reon-VX: Next-generation
high-performance video processor
Successor to the REALTA IC manufactured by Silicon Optics Inc.,
renowned for its IC solutions that deliver Hollywood Quality
Video (HQV), this high-quality chip is the key to improved
image reproduction.
High-precision I/P conversion for all signal sources
Precise and accurate rendering is what you get with Mitsubishi's
10-bit interlace/progressive (I/P) conversion image processing
technology. Be it terrestrial digital, broadcast satellite
movies, mixed video sources or even commercially packaged
media, the end result is always the progressive reproduction
of high picture quality.
High-performance video scaler
This ultra-precise image scaling function guarantees superior
pixel conversion processing when converting resolution
up from 720x480p to 1920x1080p. A unique filtering technique
enables adaptive switching to a total of 1024 filter tabs
each horizontally and vertically, further contributing
to the high-definition picture quality of the images. Our
Fixed Film/Video Mode greatly improves conversion precision.
14-bit Digital Gamma Correction
Mitsubishi's original 14-bit gamma correction processing
function expands gradation expression power 16-fold over
the conventional 10-bit technology. This dramatically raises
the projector's ability to reproduce the subtleties in
dark images. |

| 1.6X Power Zoom/Focus Dramatically Improves High-definition
Resolution and Set-up Ease |
|
| Using the 100-type size (16:9)
enables not only the adjustment of projection distance from 3.1m
to 5.0m, but also brilliant crystal-clear images in tight spots where
sufficient distance to the screen cannot be kept. With a vertical
lens shift range of 75% and horizontal range of 5%, installation
is simple and easy. Two-stage adjustment, quick and fine, has been
added to the power drive to enhance usability. |
|
 |
|
| Full High-definition Liquid Crystal Panel (1920x1080) |
|
| An inorganic liquid-crystal
panel is incorporated, creating deep rich blacks and eliminating
the need for the rubbing process. This realizes the reproduction
of vivid high-definition images with no vertical lines. The rate
panel service life is approximately tenfold that of organic film
panels, translating into years of high picture quality viewing enjoyment. |

|
| 24P Blu-ray Direct Input Compatibility - Reproduction
of Original Image Motion |
|
| The HC7000 is compatible with Blu-ray
24P direct output. Thanks to an output of up to 48P (96Hz liquid
crystal panel driver), twice the speed of conventional movie signals
(24 frames/sec), unbelievably life-like images are reproduced with
a smoothness and texture detail that mirror the original. |
|
2-3 Pulldown
When processing 24 frames/sec images at 60 frames/sec, smooth
motion becomes distorted because the signals in the 2- and
3-frame sequences cause overflow into the third B-frame. |
|
24P Direct
Output
With a signal processing speed of 24 frames/sec increased to
48 frames/sec, the sequence created aligns the signal, providing
a smoothness and textured detail that mirror the original. |

|
| "Deep Color" Compatible HDMI 1.3 Input
Terminals |
|
| The HC7000 has two HDMI input
terminals, and is capable of processing high-contrast images from
10- and 12-bit video signals in addition to the conventional 8-bit
signal. |

| Anamorphic Lens Compatibility - Choose Setting
Based on Media Played |
|
| The anamorphic lens compatibility of the HC7000
widens the projection range of cinema-scope images. Mode
1 proves extended projection, and Mode 2 is for images other
than cinema-scope, which mirror the original with the anamorphic
lens attached. |

| 3D Micro-surface Air Filter |
|
| The HC7000 comes with
an air filter that has a three-dimensional honeycomb structure,
a microscopic filtering surface and a special electrostatic
film for enhanced filtering efficiency. It attaches to the
side of the projector and works as an air purification system
to prevent dirt and other air-borne particulates from entering
the chassis. |

| Long-life Lamp (up to 5000 hours) |
|
| The projection lamp has a long 5000-hour
service life for months of uninterrupted viewing pleasure.
When its time to clean or replace to lamp, a side-loading installation
design makes it so the projector does not need to be moved.
So regardless of installation-whether suspended from the ceiling
or sitting on a shelf-lamp maintenance and replacement is simple
and easy. |

even in the darkest of rooms. Convenience is also improved
with a function that enables the screen to be adjusted directly
from the remote controller. |

|
| Trigger Terminal |
|
| The HC7000 is equipped with a projector power
switch/screen extension/retraction trigger combination, creating
a convenient one-touch operation function for cinema viewing.
An anamorphic mode is also incorporated. |
