Today, Exceptional Performance Means
Exceptional Design
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.
Newly Developed Auto-Iris Algorithm with Quick 1/60-sec Control
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.
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.
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.
HQV – Unparalleled Image Reproduction Performance
The HC6500 is equipped with a powered
1.6x zoom/focus lens, making it easy to
set-up and show impressive big-screen
images even in the smallest of rooms.
A powered Lens Shift function is included
as well, making vertical and horizontal
adjustment as simple as pressing a button
regardless of where the unit is located.
Power Zoom/Focus Adjustment and
Lens Shift Functions Greatly Simplify Set-up
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.

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.
14-bit Digital Gamma Correction
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
2-3 pulldown
When processing images at
60 frames/sec, lining up the signals up
in 2- or 3-frame sequences causes
overflow into the third B-frame,
thereby detracting from motion
smoothness.
24P direct output
With the signal processing speed of
24 frames/sec increased to
48 frames/sec, a sequence is created
that aligns the signals. The bottom line
is a smooth and fluid reproduction of
the original image.
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.

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.
