Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V.

At IFA 2011, Mitsubishi did exhibit its pioneering 3D Home Cinema Laser Display technology for the first time in Europe. Under the slogan "Three Dimensional Cinema Colour" the Laser-Display, with its 75" screen surrounded by a narrow, silver-coloured frame, promises to deliver 'huge' film and video game experiences in both 2D and 3D.

The laser technology from Mitsubishi Electric has revolutionised the large-screen experience and should also excite industry experts and sets new standards in the field of home cinema with its unbelievably realistic cinema quality colour reproduction, extreme picture clarity and extraordinary depth of sharpness – all with only half the power consumption of comparable flat-screen televisions.

Because of the large interest of European end-users Mitsubishi was demonstrating the Home Cinema Laser Display, and conducting a market study to test the reaction of consumers and resellers to its laser displays which have already been very successfully marketed in the USA for some years now.

Depending of the outcome of this market study Mitsubishi will decide if the product will be sold in Europe.

The introduction of the Home Cinema Laser Display to the European market would be unique in that no other manufacturer currently offers this technology.

September, 2011

At IFA this year, Mitsubishi Electric introduced the next generation of its highly successful HC9000 Cinema Projector – the HC9000 (Advanced) with Full HD 3D capabilities.

With the added features in the new advanced model that include state-of-the-art image analysis capabilities, Mitsubishi will further enhance the performance of the HC9000 premium range. The HC9000 series is already a top range premium product in 2D (with 3D capabilities), featuring active shutter technology and innovative 240 Hz technology. 

The new 3D Frame Rate feature, along with the SXRD panel, provide a more fluent and authentic 3D image sequence, even at very high display speeds and fast colour changes. Depending on the source, the new software generates up to four times the number of available images per second.

The projector’s Colour Management System has undergone fine-tuning. Established technologies such as colour management for individual single colour configurations are further enhanced by features such as the cinema filter, which optimises the projectors green display for a natural colour experience. As a result, the HC9000 (A) achieves consistent colour reproduction quality on a par with professional cinema.

At the optical core of the HC9000 (A) is also a 0.61”-3 SXRD panel, making three-dimensional content display in full HD possible (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). Additionally, the projectors new features allow for sharp, colour-intensive, fluent images in cinema quality. Its near record-breaking maximum contrast ratio of 150,000:1, at an image brightness of 1,100 ANSI lumens, creates particular image sharpness and brilliance as well as black values never before achieved.

The 1.8 times power zoom lens is far superior to traditional lenses with its light concentration, colour authenticity and reproduction. In order that images from different data sources are displayed at a consistent high quality, a high-performance HQV processor converts them for full HD reproduction. Even with projector installation, the lens shift function allows for maximum installation flexibility.
