Exceed commercial cinema quality by engaging the internal anamorphic modes of todays 4K projectors to add 2.6 million more pixels of clarity and 38% more brightness when showing moviesandstreaming content in the cinema format. Panamorph lenses are the most recognized and most recommended anamorphic conversion lenses used in close to 10,000 of the highest end…
Converting your Projector to Cinema 4KOver 80% of the most popular movies are made in the standard commercial cinema2.4:1 aspect ratioand even todays streaming shows are migrating to this format. This content is meant and created to be the largest experience in your theater but on a flat panel TV or 16:9 projection system it is actually displayed as the smallest experience with the lowest performance because millions of display pixels are turned off to createblack bars(yes, even with lens memory zooming). But now todays most popular projector models also include anamorphic upconversion modes for use with an external anamorphic lens to convert their full 4K performance into the larger 2.4:1 cinema format for the highest brightness and detail all while still providingmodes for watching 16:9 content. The anamorphic big screen advantage means your projector can actually deliver higher detail than youll see in most commercial theaters and certainly higher than you can see with a flat-panel TV.The Original Movie is Surrounded by Unused Black Display PixelsConsumer cinema-format 4K movies are delivered using 3840 horizontal x 1600 vertical pixels to maintain their original 2.4:1 aspect ratio (ie 3840/1600=2.4). When displayed in the center of the 4096 x 2160 pixels of a 4K/4096 projector there are 2,703,360 unused black display pixels surrounding the movie or 2,150,400 unused display pixels when displayed in the center of the 3840 x 2160 pixels of a 4K/UHD 16:9 projector.The Upconverted Movie Uses The Repurposed Black PixelsAnamorphic upconversion is now an included option in many16:9 4K (UHD) projectors. This upconversion applies digital scaling and possibly other image processing algorithms to convert the movie to a higher resolution of 4096 x 2133 (17:9 projectors) or 3840 x 2133 (16:9 projectors) using 43% (17:9) or 33% (16:9) more display pixels. While no real, additional source resolution is implied, upconversion from real movie content has been proven to not only p
