Presenting CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™, an exciting new widescreen technology option available for most of our digital video projectors.

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 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. Those unsightly black bars are gone for good.

CineWide Technology does this through a combination of software, electronics and anamorphic optics, enabling the use of the entire pixel array of the imaging chips, resulting in no loss of resolution. This also provides increased brightness because the chips’ entire reflective surface is utilized.

The AutoScope option provides a fast, seamless transition between aspect ratios through a motorized system that automatically positions the anamorphic lens assembly when the Cinema 2.35 aspect ratio is selected.

Vidikron’s exclusive CineWide and CineWIde with AutoScope options are technology solutions specifically engineered for your Vidikron high definition projector, and Hollywood’s widest presentations.

Conventional Method		CineWide™ with AutoScope™
A conventional 2.35:1 image displayed on a 1.78:1 (16:9) screen.		Constant Vertical height and full resolution are maintained. 100% of pixels are used. Black bars are eliminated.
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 and CineWide with AutoScope requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide screen.
