IRIS button

The iris function adjusts the contrast optically by opening and closing the lens aperture. The iris can be switched between two modes, OPEN and CLOSE. When OPEN is selected, the image becomes brighter. When CLOSE is selected, black levels of the image are reproduced with more clarity though the brightness is lowered.

When you press the IRIS button, the current setting appears. When pressing it again while the setting is being displayed, the setting can be changed. It takes about 6 seconds for the iris to shift between OPEN state and CLOSE state.

The HC3000 includes multiple input terminals, including HDMI, VGA, and composite inputs, making it compatible with a range of devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and laptops. This multitude of options ensures that users can easily integrate the projector into their existing systems and switch between different sources without hassle.

Portability is another strength of the HC3000. Weighing in at a manageable size, it can be transported easily, making it a great option for business professionals who need to present on the go. Its compact design does not sacrifice performance for size, maintaining high-quality output even in a portable format.

Additionally, the HC3000 incorporates a robust cooling system designed to extend the life of the projector's lamp. This feature not only enhances durability but also minimizes operational noise, allowing for an immersive viewing experience without distracting sounds.

In summary, the Mitsubishi Electronics HC3000 is a versatile and high-performing projector, offering Full HD resolution, advanced DLP technology, excellent connectivity options, and portability.
