Mitsubishi Digital Electronic America Announces MH2850U Projector With DICOM Simulation Mode for Medical Training
Projector has Low Overall Cost of Ownership for Medical Education Applications
IRVINE, Calif., December 2, 2008 — Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America’s Presentation
Products Division, known for award-winning, high-quality presentation and display products,
has introduced the MH2850U, its newest SXGA+ (1400 x 1050 pixels) resolution high brightness
LCD projector offering both Clearbase and Bluebase DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) simulation. These two modes offer accurate detail and great color
depth for intensely detailed images required in X-ray graphics as well as CAT scans, MRIs and other medical imaging applications.
Mitsubishi’s MH2850U projector is specially engineered for projecting DICOM simulation
images for use in medical education and training. The projector integrates predefined Clearbase
and Bluebase presets for enlarging X-Ray images with amazing clarity. It is also designed to
support a flexible array of optional lenses for easy set up in various room sizes and environments
in medical school classrooms and hospital conference rooms.
“The MH2850U is the ideal projection solution for medical schools that require affordable
projectors for high-resolution images with detail and clarity,” said Wayne Kozuki, product
manager, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America’s Presentation Product Division. “And with
optional lenses, this portable projector can be easily set up in small briefing rooms or larger classrooms.”
Low Cost of Ownership
Mitsubishi’s MH2850U is very affordable compared to other projectors in the same category. It
features inorganic LCD technology that extends the typical service life of the projector display panels, making them more durable and providing a more color-consistent, even-toned image than
previous generation organic LCD panels. Its efficient, side-loading lamp design helps control
overall lamp temperature, achieving an estimated 5000-hour lamp life (in low mode), along with
quick and convenient lamp replacement. This combination makes a dramatic reduction in total
cost of ownership, reducing overall operating maintenance time and lamp replacement costs.
The MH2850U blasts 3100 ANSI lumens for a bright, clear image even in high-ambient light settings such as large classrooms or meeting rooms with windows. Network management is easy
with RJ45 connectivity for LAN asset management control and its RS232c connection makes it
simple to integrate with third-party control systems. It also operates at an ultra-hushed 29dBA
noise level in low mode and includes a robust anti-theft security hook to deter theft or any
unapproved removal.
Suggested Pricing, Availability, Limited Warranty
The new MH2850U is offered at a suggested retail price of $9,995 and is available from
Mitsubishi’s professional dealer network. The projector carries Mitsubishi’s award-winning
three-year limited warranty on parts and labor and its exclusive three-year Express Replacement
Assistance program.
“Our customers in higher education, especially medical schools, require the most precise
imaging technology in this demanding market. Great detail, clarity and color performance is
never to be compromised in medical training and education,” said James Chan, senior director
product marketing, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. “And in today’s economy, a good
initial purchase price plus the low cost of ownership makes this projector even more attractive
for med schools with budget constraints.”
