							And that’s exactly what you’ll find in the new HC6500 home theater projector.
Exquisite colors, high-contrast images and impressive picture reproduction are ensured with
Mitsubishi’s innovative hybrid D6 drive and Auto Iris 15000:1 high-contrast technologies.
These and other advanced functions are packaged into an ergonomic and aesthetically
pleasing black chassis that blends easily with any room environment.
In a single word, it’s “Futuristic”.
Pioneering the future of home theater systems.  
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 has 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 the successor to the Realta chip manufactured by Silicon Optics
Inc., renowned for delivering 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 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 scalerThis 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.   
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
unprecedented quietness, a seemingly seamless structure was developed for 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 pulldownWhen 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 outputWith 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.   Trigger Terminal3D Micro-surface Structure Air Filter

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.
