HC5500 Projector – Replacing it’s wildly successful HC4900, Mitsubishi’s new HC5500 upgrades its entry level 1080p home theater projector with an incredibly attractive price and 1200 ANSI lumens. With anamorphic lens support, both Mode 1 (2.35:1) and Mode 2 (16:9) the HC5500 creates a true movie theater experience. Mitsubishi also incorporates similar specifications from its HC6000: the HC5500 has the improved auto iris function for quicker black to light imaging and a contrast ratio of 10,000:1. This combination allows for dynamic and smooth transitions between light and dark scenes and sharper overall details in dark areas, even in fast action spaceship scenes or classic film noir. Like its HC6000, Mitsubishi’s HC5500 provides two HDMI connectors allowing for a true digital-to-digital link between the projector and its image sources. The 1000 ANSI lumens projector offers a powered lens shift and powered zoom for easy installation and set up, making it perfect for installed home theater environments. Unlike other 1080p projectors, Mitsubishi also incorporates Silicon Optix’s Emmy® award-winning HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) high-performance video processor inside the projector for a more streamlined form factor. The Reon-VX HQV processor delivers sharp, detailed HD images by utilizing features such true 1080i-to-1080p HD deinterlacing and a sophisticated multidirectional diagonal filter that helps ensure video that is free from jagged edges. HQV also makes standard definition material approach HD quality by employing advanced scaling, per-pixel detail enhancement and noise reduction technology that removes noise and artifacts caused by compression. The projector’s 3LCD technology delivers unbelievable color, amazing detail and road-tested reliability. Using an advanced three-panel design, Mitsubishi’s HC5500 produces both rich and vibrant colors with extraordinary details for outstanding picture quality.
