![]() Now, with regards to home theater, a 2:35:1 or anamorphic film doesn't use the full resolution of a 1080p HDTV or projector. Either method results in a properly displayed 2.35:1 image with the proper image geometry restored. ![]() When viewing that same frame through an anamorphic lens, the lens itself either optically stretches the image horizontally or squeezes the image vertically (depending on the lens design), thus allowing it to appear in its proper format or ratio. For example, when looking at a native 2:35:1 captured frame without an anamorphic lens, the image appears vertically stretched whereby the performers and/or the surroundings appear leaner and taller then natural. In turn, an anamorphic lens must also be used to project that same image or negative in its proper aspect ratio (2:35:1). ![]() The term anamorphic refers to the spherical lens used with film cameras whereby a larger or wider image is optically manipulated or "stretched" onto a standard 35mm frame. Like 3D today, anamorphic films were released as a way to get theatergoers back to their area theaters in direct response to the arrival of the home television set. ![]() Read reviews of the best video screens from the likes of Stewart Filmscreen, dpn, SI, Elite and many others.Īnamorphic or "scope" aspect ratio films (1:85:1 is sometimes referred to as "flat") have been with us since the Fifties.Read front video projector reviews from the likes of Runco, JVC, Digital Projection and others that can take an anamorphic lens.However that's not the case with 2:35:1 or anamorphic material, which still renders black bars top and bottom - albeit smaller than with older 4:3 sets. Now that 16:9 HDTVs have become the norm, black bars on 16:9 or 1:85:1 material have become a thing of the past. I always recommend contacting the manufacturer on the particular performance specs.In the beginning it used to be that if you wanted to watch a 16:9 (1:85:1) or 2:35:1 native film on your 4:3 standard definition television, you had to live with black bars top and bottom of your screen. Rick: Different projectors perform in various degrees.Customer: I see….yes, my JVC is 16′ from screen and I need a full Zoom out to fill out 150″.as long you are within the manufacturer specification you will be fine. Rick: If you able to position the projector in a distance where you don’t have to use the zoom excessively, for example if your projector specification gives you a throw distances between 12 to 15 ft away for a 150 inch.Rick: Correct, if the lens is zoomed out, you will experience the pincushion effect.Customer: You’re saying I shouldn’t be zoomed all the way out to fill the screen?.As long you have the projector within the specification position and not over adjusting the focus/zoom setting. Rick: Pincushion effect is a problem to widescreen formats but not HDTV (16:9).Anamorphic lenses are for 2.35:1 or 2.40:1 “Cinemascope” Rick: No, this material is 16:9 format and does not require a lens.Customer: anamorphic for a 16:9 HDTV screen?.Rick: Hello, I’d be glad to assist you with this.Customer: Do you need an anamorphic lens to us curved screen Curve150H-A1080P3?.*The discussion below is based on actual chat transcripts with the omission of any personal/confidential material to protect the customer’s privacy. An example in this case is to change the contact’s identification name/number to “Customer” or a generic name. In other words, a 16:9 projector screen means that for every 16 units of lateral measurement, there will be 9 equal units of vertical measurement. Aspect ratios define that for each unit of measurement for width, there are corresponding numbers of equal measurement in height. Many people are not aware of the various properties of video screen aspect ratios. Simply put, aspect ratios define a rectangular screen’s shape.
