including advanced black color reproduction techniques,
the HC7000 is setting standards for the industry.
Dynamic and intriguing, exciting the senses…
Just wait until you turn it on!
The beauty is the performance
NEW HC7000

w/ aperturew/o aperture
Extra-low Dispersion (ED)
glass lens
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.
New Optics Compensation Panel Realizes Precise Light Focusing and
an Amazing Level of High-contrast Images
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.

Conventional cooling structure
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.

Experiencing is Believing The ultimate in black color reproduction.
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.

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.

“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.
Amazingly Easy to Use Anytime, Anywhere
1.6X Power Zoom/Focus DramaticallyImproves
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
Long-life Lamp (up to 5000 hours)
The button on the remote controller
illuminate automatically, promising easy,
trouble-free operation 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.

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.
