Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division, maker of award-winning, high-quality presentation and display products, today introduced the HC3 Home Cinema Natural Color Matrix™ Projector, its first true 16:9 projector designed exclusively for home theater and other applications requiring widescreen display format.

Mitsubishi Digital capitalizes on its excellence in display and imaging technology by providing a widescreen theater experience from a small, portable projector. The HC3 Natural Color Matrix™ is capable of projecting a larger-than-life image from a projector that weighs under six pounds, is smaller than a bread box, and can be tucked away when not in use.

"Now there is no need for a huge piece of electronics taking up wall space to get a fabulous home theater experience," said James Chan, director, projector product marketing for Mitsubishi Digital. "With the HC3 Home Cinema projector, our videophile customers can easily get a big-screen experience from a portable little box."

The HC3 Natural Color Matrix™ offers 960 x 540 resolution in a 16:9 format and 1200 ANSI lumens of brightness all in a small package that is easy to set-up in the living room, family room, den, or just about anywhere in the home. It offers a significant 500:1 contrast ratio with vivid and even color saturation that typically seen in 3-panel LCD technology. Whites are brilliant, and blacks are extremely dark--perfect for movies from DVDs, video, cable or satellite. It also accepts HDTV input signals, which is a critical consideration for true home theater enthusiasts.

The learning remote control included with the HC3 Natural Color Matrix™ projector is easily programmed to operate two video sources such as a DVD player and VCR, allowing users to switch easily between displays.

"Home theater enthusiasts have been waiting for Mitsubishi Digital to bring a dedicated home cinema projector to market," said Aki Ninomiya, vice president, Mitsubishi Digital.

"We're happy to incorporate the HC3 into the Mitsubishi Digital family of high-quality television and big-screen projector offerings."

Pricing and Availability
The HC3 Natural Color Matrix™ is available for $2,499 (ESP), with a two-year warranty on parts and labor plus a 90-day warranty on its long-life lamp.
