Panamorph User Guide - True WideScreen Lens Options

2.35:1 Fixed Lens Option 2.35:1 Moveable Lens Option
The simplest approach to 2.35:1 imaging involves fixing a Panamorph lens in front of your 16:9 projector and using electronic scaling to a) stretch 2.35:1 movies by 33% in the vertical direction (Mode I scaling) and b) squeeze all non-2.35 content by 25% in the horizontal direction (Mode II scaling).  With this approach, all content is shown with the same brightness and resolution per unit area and all formats up through 2.35:1 are shown using the projector's full vertical resolution You can move the Panamorph lens out of the beam to increase horizontal resolution and brightness for non-2.35:1 content compared to a fixed lens.  Since the lens is only used for 2.35:1 content, only Mode I electronic imaging scaling is required.
