About Schneider .......................................................Back Cover
Congratulations on your purchase of a Schneider Optics, Inc. Kino-Linear™anamorphic system. This system is composed of the finest optical
and mechanical components available. The Cine-Digitar Anamorphic lens is of commercial grade and should last indefinitely provided that it is
used within reasonable parameters of temperature and shock. The mechanical assemblies within the Kino-Linear™ lens mover are designed
for the demanding duty cycle of a professional screening room and have been tested to simulate in excess of 10 years use.
Installation by a qualified professional is recommended for best results.
WELCOME

ATTACHMENT OF LENS TO KINO-LINEAR™MECHANISM
Assembly Instructions:
1. Remove Kino-Linear™ mechanism and
Cine Digitar 1.33x anamorphic lens, if
purchased together, from packaging. Inspect
all components for damage that may have
occurred during shipping.
2. Place Kino-Linear™ base on table with

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. After the Kino-Linear™ unit is roughly aligned
with the projector, select the appropriate
power cord (US, UK, EU) for your location,
and connect the power supply to the unit and
electrical outlet. A solid green LED indicates
the unit is functional. See Illustration #5.
2. Connect trigger cable to the Kino-Linear™
unit from an appropriate source.
Note: A 12 volt trigger source will move lens
to the opposite side of slide.
See Illustration #4.
Note: The trigger connector polarity must be
positive (+) for plug tip and negative (-) for
plug body.
3. As an alternative trigger method, the Kino-
Linear™ can also be controlled via simple
contact closure without a 12-volt trigger. Use a
wire to connect terminal 1 to 2. This will move
lens to the opposite side of slide, similar to
using the 12-volt trigger.
4. To gain access to the terminal block, only the
motor cover needs to be removed. Unscrew
the six motor cover screws with 1/16” allen
wrench, and carefully pull back cover. See
Illustration #13.

1. The RHP unit allows installer to have the home position on the opposite
end of the slide in comparison to the standard Kino-Linear™ unit.
See Illustration #7.
2. The RHP unit can be identified by the engraving next to the serial number.
See Illustration #6.

ADJUSTING THE ANAMORPHIC IMAGE
1. If focusing projector for the first time,
follow projector manufacture instructions
for setting up image.
2. <Important> Use the adjustments on the
Chief RPA™ Universal Ceiling Mount as mush
as possible to center image. Internal projector
image adjustments should be centered as
mush as possible for proper alignment to the
anamorphic.
3. Deploy the anamorphic lens into the projector
light path using the controller (Trigger ON),
checking to assure that no part of the lens or
cradle contacts any part of the projector. Move
lens away fro projector if needed by adjusting stage
lock screws. Observe image using the projector
test grid pattern.
4. If you see vertical “vignette” distortion on top
or bottom, adjust the height of the anamorphic
lens. Use the vertical/Yaw lock handle.
5. If you see left or right side “vignette”
distortion, adjust by repositioning the Kino-
Linear™on the Schneider PAN-2 bracket left
or right.
6. If you see “trapezoidal”, “barrel”, or “pin-
cushion” distortion, adjust the pitch lock handle
and the vertical/yaw lock handle.
7. If you see “parallelogram” distortion and
stretched corners, adjust lens rotation (roll).
See Illustration #12.
8. If the image requires focusing, loosen the lens
focus knob on the Schneider Anamorphic lens
to adjust.

OPTIONAL KINO-LINEAR™MOUNTING PLATE
Illustration #14 - Projection Mounting Plate
1. This plate (#54-018714) replaces the
Chief MFG Pan 2 Panamorph Lens Support
and the Schneider Optics Kino-Linear / Pan
2 Bracket (#54-018713).
2. Attach the projector plate to the special
mounting holes (two places) on the projector.
The 90-degree lip should be pointing up
towards the ceiling . This plate is pre-drilled
to fit the following projectors: Sony VPL-
VW50, JVC DLA-HD10K, Panasonic PTAE-
10900U, and JVC DLA-RS1.
The plate can be drilled by the integrator to
fit additional projectors.
3. The locking “T-Nuts” should be oriented
forward to align with the slot on the rear
USE WITH JVC DLA-RS1&2 PROJECTORS
When using the Schneider Optics Kino-
Linear™ with the JVC DLA-RS1 or RS2
projectors, the standard bolts in the projector
feet may not be tall enough to avoid contact
between the Kino-Linear™ motor cover and
the surface.
To prevent any potential damage from this
contact, we recommend that you use the 50mm
replacement bolts provided with your mounting
plate to increase the clearance space.
Illustration #15 - Contact Problem with JVC DLA-RS1&2 Projectors
of the Kino-Linear™ lens mechanism. The
knurled gripping edge of the nuts should face
rearward. See Illustration 14.
4. The lens on the Kino-Linear™ will be in
the home position when power is supplied to
unit. Position the Kino-Linear™ in front of
the projector lens and align the “T-Nuts” on
the mounting plate with the slot on the Kino-
Linear™. Slide the Kino-Linear™ sideways
until the Schneider anamorphic lens is directly
in front of the projector lens. Tighten the “T-
Nuts” until the entire assembly is secure. See
Illustration #10.
5. If attaching a JVC DLA-RS1 or RS2 projector,
please refer to the supplemental instructions
below regarding the projector feet.

ABOUT SCHNEIDER
Schneider Optics is the U.S. subsidiary
of the world-renowned German optical
manufacturer, Schneider-Kreuznach. Schneider
has been producing the highest quality optics
on the market for over 90 years, offering
solutions for large-format photography, photo
enlarging, motion picture projection, optical
filtration, and industrial applications. In 2000,
Schneider Optics acquired Century Precision
Optics, adding its over 50 years experience
manufacturing superior attachments for film
and video.
Schneider Optics has offices in Hauppauge, NY
and Van Nuys, CA and a network of hundreds
of dealers around the globe, ready to assist you
with any of your imaging needs.
Joseph Schneider founded the company in
1913 in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. Since that
time the Schneider factory has been constantly
modernized, always remaining state-of-the-art.
Schneider Cinema Projection Lens technology has
won four Technical Achievement Awards from the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
The factory is fully compliant with ISO 9001
standards. Its U.S. subsidiary, Schneider Optics,
was founded in 1972.
Century Optics first opened its doors
in North Hollywood, CA in 1948, and
quickly gained a reputation for expert lens
repair, custom modification and intelligent
innovation. In the early 80’s Century
began creating what has become the most
extensive array of ultra-high quality video
lens accessories available anywhere.
Separately the two companies were leaders
in their respective spheres of the optical
world—both having been awarded Technical
Achievement Awards from the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Schneider
in 2005, 2001, 1978 and 1976; Century
in 1992). Together they are the ultimate
solution to all your optical needs.
