CineWide™ with AutoScope™
Conventional Method
2:35:1 image area
How it works:
The video processor anamorphically “stretches” the 2.35:1 image vertically to
completely fill the display’s imaging chip’s. This allows all pixels to be used.

The anamorphic lens then “stretches” the image width to 2.35:1. Correct
geometry is restored, while 100% of the pixels are now used to maintain
full resolution and eliminate black bars.

CineWide with AutoScope requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar
aspect ratio superwide screen.
CineWide™ with AutoScope™
Until now, viewing movies presented in the CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format
has meant the presence of useless black bars on the top and bottom of your
screen. It has also meant a possible loss of resolution because widescreen
digital imaging chips are in the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, not nearly as
wide as 2.35:1.
Through the magic of our award winning CineWide with AutoScope
technology and the use of an appropriate screen, constant vertical height
is maintained, filling the entire screen area. When you transition from a
standard 16:9 (1.78:1) widescreen aspect ratio to 2.35:1 Cinema, the picture
simply gets wider — really wide, just as you would experience in a quality
cinema.
