VirtualWide scales a 4:3
image NON-linearly (more on
the sides than in the center)
to fit a 16:9 screen.
On a 2.35:1 screen, the
image is centered between
black bars on either side.
Select Cinema to view 2.35
source material in its native
aspect ratio.
With a 16:9 screen and a
non-CineWide projector (no
anamorphic lens), the upper
and lower portions of the
screen are masked, but the
geometry of the active image
area is unchanged.
With a 2.35:1 screen and a
CineWide-equipped
projector, the DHD Controller
scales the 2.35:1 image so
that the active image area fills
the 16:9 chip surface,
eliminating the black bars.
The secondary, anamorphic
lens then restores the proper
geometry to the 2.35:1
image.
