Not only bright. Not only light. 

Not only beautiful.

A total balance of superior performance 

and functions.

Brightness of 2,700 ANSI lumens and light  
weight of only 6.4kg (14 lbs.).

Thanks to the use of a 1.3" polysilicon active 
matrix TFT  panel with Micro-Lens and a 250W 
UHB lamp, the CP-X985 achieves outstanding 
brightness of 2,700 ANSI lumens.* Since the  
image is clearly visible even in a bright room, 
your audience can read documents and take 
notes while they watch your presentation. Yet 
even with this high performance, the projector 
weighs only 6.4kg (14 lbs.), so you can easily 
carry it from room to room. And the slim 12cm 
(4.7") body makes it easy to install on ceilings.

* CP-X980: 2,300 ANSI lumens.

Excellent image quality with every type of source

Most projectors use a line doubler to convert the interlaced image 
into a progressive image. Hitachi's Motion Adaptive Progressive 
Scan system is far superior, using Field Interlacing to provide twice 
as many lines. Line flicker is reduced and the fine scanning lines 
prevent noticeable distortion even on a large screen, so images are 
clearer and easier on the eyes. Progressive Scan is the key to the 
high quality moving images achieved by these projectors.

The goal was achieving not only high brightness, 
but also superior image uniformity.

Drawing on our extensive experience in video cameras and 
projection TVs, Hitachi developed a unique optical system for 
these projectors. By optimizing the LCD panel and multi-lens 
illumination system as well as the color system of the mirror 
and other parts, we achieved our goal of outstanding image 
uniformity. You see an image that is consistently bright and 
clear in all parts of the screen.

Handles the next generation 
of HDTV signals.

The CP-X985/CP-X980 will handle not only SDTV (Standard Def-
inition TV) signals, but also HDTV (High Definition TV) signals, 
so you can experience the beautifully realistic quality of these 
images on a large screen.

Hitachi’s exclusive Progressive Circuit

in the digital era. 

Emphasizes black areas for easier-to-watch images

A common problem with projectors is that when they display im-
ages with a mixture of bright and dark parts, the black gradation 
is lost so the black parts appear to float. Hitachi’s Black Level En-
hancer shifts the level of the black signal, which extends from 0% 
to about 20% of the image signal, to match it to the blackest level. 
This blackens the parts that appear gray due to the “floating” 
black, without altering the bright parts, thus ensuring a clear con-
trast between light and shade.

Reproduces the original feeling of movie film

Movie film has 24 frames per second and video has 60 field per 
second. The 3/2 Pull-Down System compensates for this differ-
ence by repeatedly allotting one frame of the film to two television 
frames and the next frame of the film to three video frames. Be-
cause the conventional video image output method processes the 
input signals only as normal interlace input signals, it can cause 
blur and color errors. The Hitachi-developed progressive circuit 
process all 60 fields as still pictures and it detects 3/2 pull down 
to accurately reproduce the original images and texture of film.

No loss of detail

This system compares past images with present images to remove 
excessive noise during display. High precision noise reduction     
is achieved because processing is done inside the progressive   
circuit. As a result, you’ll enjoy clearer images.
