Present Movies

This section provides information and procedures for using the cinema projector to present movies. It is
recommended that you read through this section in its entirety before displaying movies for the first time.
Before you display movies for the first time, verify that the cinema projector is properly installed, aligned, and
configured. See
5.7.1

Connect Sources

Connect a digital media storage device or cinema server to one of the 292A or 292B input ports. For a list of
standard single-link SMPTE 292M Formats, see
5.7.2

Use an Anamorphic Lens

The standard zoom lens on the cinema projector can display flat images because the native resolution and
format of the cinema projector closely match the flat aspect ratio. The installation of an optional anamorphic
lens requires that the source material is resized to fill the digital micromirror device (DMD) and the pixels are
horizontally stretched so that the full 2.39 image width appears on-screen.

Use a Wide Converter Lens

The optional Wide Converter Lens (WCL) magnifies a flat image with a format of 1.85:1 to a scope image with
a 2.39:1 format, while maintaining the full resolution of the source material.

Masking

You use masking to conceal the unused edges of a screen. These are the two types of masking:
• Top Masking – Movable flat black panels or curtains are installed along the top edge of the screen. You raise
the curtain for flat images, and you lower the curtain for scope images.
• Side Masking – Movable flat black panels or curtains are installed on each side of the screen. You close the
curtain for flat images, and open the curtain for scope images.
