Mitsubishi Digital Brings You the Big Game on a Big Screen from a Small Projector; Life-Sized Game and Movie Action, Right in Your Living Room (11/11/2003)

Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division, maker of award-winning, high-quality presentation and display products, brings you the big game on the big screen from the HC2 Home Cinema ColorView(TM) projector, its first projector designed for home theater enthusiasts. It is highly affordable, easily portable, and more streamlined than bulky plasma or heavy big-screen televisions. The HC2 ColorView projector provides crisp, clear live-action images from cable, satellite and HDTV input signals, as well as DVDs, VCRs, gaming consoles and computers.

"The HC2 ColorView offers conventional 4:3 aspect ratio because it's still the most popular format for televised sports, regular programming and computer games," said James Chan, director, projector product marketing for Mitsubishi Digital. "Combined with our advanced color controls, high contrast ratio, and high brightness, the HC2 projects a large dynamic image that is perfect for sporting events, particularly playoffs and World Series or Super Bowl parties."

Mitsubishi HC2 can also be set to display in 16:9 aspect ratio so viewers receive a full movie-theater effect with wide-screen display. With a long-life lamp life of 2500 hours, the HC2 ColorView is an affordable purchase off the shelf that makes the total cost of ownership economical in the long run.

Mitsubishi Digital's new projector offers ColorView(TM), its patented color algorithm that enables more accurate, more realistic colors. ColorView's most important feature is its six-axis color control function: both RGB and CMY color palettes can be independently controlled and adjusted like a graphic equalizer, offering viewers ultimate flexibility in creating more accurate colors and realistic images.

The HC2 offers a high resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, 1100 ANSI lumens bright, and a remarkable 600:1 contrast ratio, all in a small, 6.4-pound package that is easy to set-up in the living room, family room, den, or just about anywhere at home. The learning remote control included with the new projector is easily programmed to operate two additional video sources, such as a DVD player or VCR, allowing users to switch easily between displays and eliminating the need for expensive control systems typical with other projectors.

Aki Ninomiya, vice president, Mitsubishi Digital, said, "We're famous for our high-quality imaging products in the home as well as business, and are pleased to continue that trend with a new home theater projector, complete with our characteristic product excellence and engineering."
