My room will not be a complete knock off because it isn't practical or economical but will have several visual cues inspired by that picture.
The panamorph lens allows you to eliminate the black bars that are present when viewing 2.35:1 or 2.40:1 ratio filmed movies on a 16x9 display. By scaling the bars out of the picture by stretching the image the bars are removed, but you are left with tall and skinny people and scenery. But when that distorted image is projected through a panamorphic lens, is corrects the distortion. But to view this enlarged image you need a screen that is in the 2.35:1 or "constant height" format. It is not shown in my videos, but my screen has masks on each end that raise when the lens is engaged to reformat the screen ratio...Hope that helps you understand  |
I may not be as complete audio and video guru, but I understand that perfectly! In lamens terms, it gives you a true cinematic picture instead of the typical home theater picture. Nice.
Thats what I hate about 16:9 tvs. They are 1080p but running bluray through them, they aren't true 1080p since they don't actually fill the whole screen since the resolution doesn't match the widescreen.
