A Statement of Innovation in Visual Expression
With Mitsubishi HC6000 Auto-Iris and Lens Aperture Control
4
Mitsubishi HC6000 offers a swift auto-iris control algorithm
that is often found in higher priced models… It automatically controls
the light intensity on the pixel level of each screen displayed in
high precision and speed for swift transitions from scene to scene.
With this breakthrough, the Mitsubishi HC6000 gives instant tracking
capacity that tones down dark scenes to black levels even when
the scene sequence is set against a backdrop of continuous bright-dark
scene changes, faithfully reproducing every scene detail with vivid clarity.
The auto-iris coupled with the original contrast control featured
in Mitsubishi HC6000, you are sure to have the richest blacks,
the brightest whites, and the vivid richness of all the colors in between.
Featuring our newly developed auto-iris algorithm
that enables control in increments as swift as 1/60™ of a second…
The Mitsubishi HC6000 is built for the demanding optical standards
incorporating a lens system designed for the 14-group/17 lens system.
By incorporating an extra-low dispersion glass lens,
superior performance is achieved over conventional lenses.
Chromatic aberration is also eliminated, resulting in resolution
improvement across the whole picture, all the way to the peripheral
sections of the displayed image. Finally, the addition of a fixed
aperture to lens of the Mitsubishi HC6000 further enhances
the full depth of black levels on screen.
Designed with Extra-Low Dispersion Glass Lens,
Mitsubishi HC6000 is 1080p High Definitionin its Full Glory.

The HC6000 is compatible with direct Blu-ray's 24P next generation optical disk.With output of 48P (liquid crystal panel 96Hz drive) at twice
the integer of movie film (24 frames/second), duplication of speed, smoothness, as well as detailed textures mirrors the original.
Compatible with 24P Blu-ray direct input for reproduction of original images movements
Our 14-bit gamma correction processing function expands gradation expression power 16-fold over the conventional 10-bit version.
This dramatically raises the capacity to express the subtleties of dark images.
Equipped with 14-bit digital gamma correction (liquid crystal panel driver)
Impressive big-screen images can be enjoyed even in a small room with the 1.6x powered zoom and focus lens. In addition,
the motorized lens shift simplifies vertical and horizontal adjustments, providing maximum flexibility wherever you place the HC6000.
Motorized zoom and focus adjustments with lens shift function greatly enhances ease of set-up
The HC6000 is designed with a newly structured cooling duct to improve liquid crystal panel cooling efficiency. It is also equipped with
a low-noise fan (large-size Sirocco fan) mobilizing a downsized motor that secures an ample air inlet for improved air intake efficiency,
all while slashing the overall noise level to only 19dBA.

Unparallel HQV next generation performance
The HC6000 is equipped with dual HDMI v1.3 inputs supporting transmission speeds up to 225MHz for pure high definition enjoyment.
Dual HDMI v1.3
The HC6000 is equipped with a new generation inorganic LCD panel. This new LCD panel generates high definition images that
produce rich blacks and vivid colors. Rated to last approximately 10 times longer than conventional organic film panels, this panel
translates to years of viewing enjoyment with high definition colors that stay vibrant and come alive every time you play your movies.

Reon-VX next-generation high-performance processor
This high-performance chip carries on the legacy of the REALTA made popular by Silicon Optics,
whose known for visual performance using the name HQV™(Hollywood Quality Video). It excels
behind the scenes as the genuine core of fine visual expression in our HC6000 HD projector.
High-precision I/P conversion, serving all sources
With 10-bit image processing, I/P (interlace/progressive) conversion in the HC6000 is rendered extremely accurate. Even with video-film
mixed sources, specific materials are detected and processed with top speed and precision. This ensures progressive reproduction of
higher picture quality. For terrestrial or satellite digital movies broadcasts, 2-3 pull-down zaps out most jaggies, making the image
look perfect. High-precision 3D processing and 24P new generation discs are also supported.
High-performance video scaler
In addition to I/P conversion, the Reon-VX in the Mitsubishi HC6000 packs high-precision image scaling (pixel conversion) capabilities
into a single chip. The result is impressive up-conversion of 720 X 480 display to 1920 X 1080 images.
Reduced chroma up-sampling errors
With the Reon-VX chip, HC6000 properly compensates for color data compressed at the production level of most DVD titles. This results
in a more faithful reproduction of high-definition images without color blur or loss, including subtle contours.

A back light automatically illuminates the buttons on the remote
control unit when any button is activated. It allows convenient
operations even in darkened rooms or
theater environment. The versatile
remote control of the HC6000 also
allows you to adjust the picture directly
for maximum convenience.
Improved temperature control plus Mitsubishi's unique lighting timing
extends the useful life of the HC6000 lamp up to 5,000 hours at
low mode, thus equating to years of enjoyment.
The side-loading feature allows users
to leave the projector in place, and with
maximum convenience and flexibility,
replace the lamp almost effortlessly.
Augmented on to the air-intake vent of the Mitsubishi HC6000 where
minute particles such as dust can easily penetrate, is a 3-dimensional
micro surface structure air filter equipped with static charges meant
to prevent micro particles from flowing past the vent into the system.
This especially configured charged film is
designed with a solid honeycomb structure,
maximizing the cooling needs of the HC6000
while providing the optimal dust collection
efficiency.
