Featuring Our Newly Developed Auto-iris Algorithm That Enables Control in Increments as Swift as 1/60 of a Second
line
The Mitsubishi HC5500 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 HC5500 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.This faithfully reproducing every scene detail with vivid clarity.
The auto-iris coupled with the original contrast control featured in Mitsubishi HC5500, you are sure to have the richest blacks, the brightest whites, and the vivid richness of all the colors in between.

Hushed 19dBA Low Mode Noise Level
line
The HC5500 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.

Unparalleled HQV Next Generation Performance
line

Reon-VX next-generation high-performance processor
This high-performance chip carries on the legacy of the REALTA made popular by Silicon Optix, 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 HC5500 HD projector.

High-precision I/P conversion, serving all sources
With 10-bit image processing, I/P (interlace/progressive) conversion in the HC5000 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 HC5500 packs high-precision image scaling (pixel conversion) capabilities into a single chip. The result is impressive up-conversion 720 x 480 display to 1920 x 1980 images.

Reduced chroma up-sampling errors
With the Reon-VX chip, HC5500 property compensates for color data compressed at the production level of most DVD titles. This results in s more faithful reproduction of high-definition images without color blur or loss, including subtle contours.

High Definition (1920x1080) Equipped with a New Generation Liquid Crystal Panel
line
The HC5500 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.

Compatible with 24P Blu-ray Direct Input for Reproduction of Original Images Movements
line
The HC5500 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.
2-3 pulldown
When screening images at 60 frames/second, lining up in 2-frame or 3-frame sequences caused a surplus in the third B-frame, detracting from movement smoothness.
24P direct output
With the integer multiple of 24 frames/second moved up to 48 frames/second, a sequence is created with groups of two frames lined up. The bottom line is a smooth and fluid reproduction of the original image.

3D Micro Surface Structure Air Filter
line
The Mitsubishi HC5500 air intake has a 3D Micro Surface Structure Air Filter similar to those used in room air purifiers to prevent the entrance of dust. A special electrostatic film with a 3D honeycomb construction significantly improves dust trapping performance.

5000-hour* Long Life Lamp
line
By optimizing temperature control for the light source lamp and employing Mitsubishi Electric's unique lighting timing, lamp life has been extended to up to 5,000 hours.
Long-life lamp
* Maximum lamp life is 5,000 hours when used in the “Low Lamp” mode and 2,000 hours in the “Standard Lamp” mode.
* Lamp life refers to the average time required for lamp brightness to decrease 50%; it is not the guaranteed life of the lamp.
* Actual lamp life may vary considerably depending on the usage environment and conditions, and whether cleaning and other maintenance is properly performed.
