Newly Developed Auto-Iris Algorithm with Quick 1/60-sec Control

Astoundingly beautiful color reproduction is what the HC6500 offers thanks to the incorporation of the Auto-Iris control algorithm, a feature commonly found in higher priced models. The technology’s been evolved to be faster and more accurate, and now provides picture reproduction at a maximum high-contrast ratio of 15000:1. The light intensity of the pixel level for each image displayed on the screen is calculated precisely so that dark scenes are toned down to the appropriate black level even when scene sequences continuously switch between bright and dark images. This ensures the faithful reproduction of every scene detail with vivid clarity. Combined with Mitsubishi’s original contrast control function, Auto-Iris delivers the richest blacks, the brightest whites, and the vivid richness of every color in between.

HQV – Unparalleled Image Reproduction Performance

Reon-VX: Next-generation high-performance processor

The Reon-VX is successor to the Realta chip manufactured by Silicon Optics Inc., renowned for its IC solutions that deliver Hollywood Quality Video (HQV). This high-performance chip excels behind the scenes as the genuine core of the superior high picture quality and visual impact of the HC6500.

High-precision I/P conversion for all signal sources

Extremely accurate rendering is provided by Mitsubishi’s 10-bit interlace/progressive (I/P) conversion image processing technology. Regardless of the source, signals are detected and processed quickly and with the utmost precision–even signals from mixed video/film media. Signals received from terrestrial or broadcast satellite digital movies are processed using 2-3 pulldown technology, which removes the “jaggies” (jagged outlines) for vivid, clear images. Highly precise three-dimensional (3D) processing is included to convert video signals into scenes with meticulous picture quality, and new-generation 24P disc is supported as well.

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.

Chromatic up-sampling errors reduced

The Reon-VX chip also properly compensates for the loss of color data resulting from signal compression at the production level of most DVD titles. This function enables a more

faithful reproduction of the full color spectrum in high-definition images without color blur or loss.

Two HDMI 1.3 Input Terminals Compatible with “Deep Color”

The HC6500 is capable of processing 10- and 12-bit video signals in addition to conventional 8-bit signal, thereby reproducing high-contrast images utilizing full-color gradation.

Extra-low Dispersion Glass Lenses

for Full High-definition Resolution (1920x1080)

Superior image reproduction is achieved as the result of adopting a 17-lens/14-group optical system equipped with extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lenses. Far exceeding the performance of conventional glass lenses, improved resolution is apparent across the entire screen and chromatic aberration is virtually eliminated, even in peripheral areas.

Quiet 17dBA Operation (at low mode)

The new cooling duct design contributes to improved cooling performance, and a smaller fan motor is adopted to secure a larger air-intake area and better intake-air efficiency for the large (low-noise) Sirocco fan. Furthermore, always striving for unprecedented quietness, a seemingly seamless structure was developed the new chassis, effectively preventing sound permeation and realizing a hushed 17dBA during operation–the quietest in the industry.

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.

Next-generation High-definition Liquid crystal Panel (1920x1080)

This next-generation inorganic liquid crystal panel generates high-definition images with the richest blacks and sharpest colors. The rated panel service life is approximately 10 times longer than that of conventional organic film panels, translating into years of enjoyment viewing high-definition images that come to life through vibrant color reproduction.

24P Blu-ray Direct Input Compatibility

Reproduction of Original Images and Motion

The HC6500 can play signals from most media, including the next-generation Blu-ray 24P optical disk. Compatible with an output of up to 48P (96Hz liquid crystal panel driver), twice the speed of conventional movie signals (24 frames/sec), amazingly life-like images and motion are reproduced with a smoothness and texture detail that mirror the original.

Trigger Terminal

The Mitsubishi HC6500 is designed to match the needs of the most sophisticated home theater, yet can be quickly integrated into the simplest of entertainment systems as well. A trigger connector for controlling a powered-screen drive is included, enabling quick set-up and operation and contributing further to your home theater enjoyment experience.
