Mitsubishi Electric HC5500 Leaflet

Allows for 10 and 12 bit video in addition to
conventional 8-bit for reproduction of full color
gradients and high contrast.  

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.

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 
reproduces every scene detail with vivid clarity. 
The auto-iris coupled with the original contrast control featured in Mitsubishi 
HC5500, are sure to produce the richest blacks, the brightest whites, and the 
vivid richness of all the colors in between.

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.

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.

Impressive big-screen images can be 
enjoyed even in a small room with the 
1.2x powered zoom and focus lens.  In 
addition, the motorized lens shift simplifies 
vertical adjustments, providing installation

flexibility.

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.
