Did you know that ? The process of anamorphosizing optics was originally developed by French professor Henri Chrétien during World War I to provide a wide angle viewer for military tanks. The optical process was called Hypergonar by Chrétien and was capable of showing a field of view of 180 degrees.

-Also make sure that there are no electricity cables or gas/water pipes in the ceiling. -Before assembling, check the location of the nearest main socket. NB: CineVERSUM accepts no liability for damages caused by incorrect assembly or by improper use.
The THEATRE concept: The Theatre system is the ultimate all-in-one solution to watch Cinemascope® movies on a real 2.35:1 screen. Featuring a motorized slider for the Anamorphic Lens, the Theatre system is a versatile solution to operate a 16:9 native resolution projector to display on demand, a Cinemascope®...
Remote Control Unit: The THEATRE system uses Radio-Frequency signals to operate, make sure that it complies with local recommendations before installing: -Receiver frequency 433.92 Mhz -Intermediate frequency +/- 70 KHz -Bandwidth +/- 300 KHz -Modulation type AM/ASK Description: The RCU has 2 pairs of buttons: -Button 1 (normal position) and Button 2 (Cinemascope®) -Buttons 3 and 4 (optional control) The THEATRE system is already programmed to operate with...
RF-emitter for 12 V Trigger: The RF-Emitter uses a 3,5 mm mono jack to operate. -When the RF-Emitter receive 12V, the Anamorphic slider will move into 2.35:1 position (ON position). -When RF-Emitter receive 0V, the Anamorphic slider moves back the slider into 16:9 position (OFF position). State Diagram using the 12 V Trigger: The Anamorphic slider can also be controlled by a standard 3,5 mm jack 12-Volt trigger.
Mounting the THEATRE System to the Projector (fi g. C) Place the support plate at the bottom and fi x it to the projector using: the 4 fi xing screws for ceilling mounting the 4 original feet for table mounting Adjustments in 16:9 position, without Anamorphic Lens (fi...

Zoom-in or zoom-out the projector lens until the picture fi lls the height of your screen. Use a 16:9 test pattern without black bars for this adjustment. (Menu -> Confi guration -> Test Patterns -> Geometry) Adjust the picture focus on the projector Lens until you obtain a clear picture.
Switch from 16:9 to 2.35:1 (fi g. G-H) Press RCU button 1 or apply 0 Volt to the RF-emitter to move the Anamorphic lens out of the projector beam. Scaler settings: Menu -> Input AR -> Frame AR -> 16:9 Menu ->...
Horizontal alignment in 2.35:1 position, with Anamorphic Lens (fi g. I-K) If the Anamorphic Lens is not aligned with the projector beam, the picture obtained is not centered into the 2.35:1 screen. horizontal alignment screws To align the picture with the screen, move the THEATRE Lens on the horizontal axis until the projected picture fulfi...
Setting vertical position and tilt (fi g. L-M) A pincushion distorsion appears when the Theatre lens is not aligned with the projector beam on the vertical axis. Use the Xhatch fi ne Test Pattern to set the lens tilt. Locate the screws indicated below and release them to set the lens tilt. Set the vertical position of the lens so that the projector beam passes through the center of the lens.
Focus adjustment (fi g. N-O) The Theatre Anamorphic Lens features a 6-turns focus ring. The focus adjustments is required only on the horizontal axis. Use the ‘Focus’ test pattern available with the scaler: MENU -> Confi guration -> Test Patterns -> Focus. Turn clockwise or anti-clockwise depending of the distance between the projector and the screen to obtain a clear picture.
Scaler settings and 12V Trigger configuration: The output “12V Trigger#1” is active when the scaler is powered ON. It can control a screen opening by example. Connect the RF-Emitter supplied to the scaler output “12V Trigger#2” located at the back of the unit.
To get further information on the Master Three menus, THEATRE Mode and RS-232 codes, please consult the scaler User Manual. The scaler must have the 12V trigger optional card installed to have access to these menus. Watching a Cinemascope® movie with subtitles: Subtitles are decoded by your DVD-player and incrusted into the signal flow sent to your projector through its outputs.
2.40:1 movie into a 2.35:1 Cinemascope® screen: When projecting a movie with a different format from your screen, the picture obtained won’t fi ll the total height of the screen. In the example below, the movie aspect ratio is 2.40:1 and the screen is 2.35:1. Scaler settings: Menu ->...
