Black bars = lost resolution
CineWide™ TechnologyConventional Method
2:35:1 image area
How it works:The video processor anamorphically “stretches” the 2.35:1 image ve\
rtically to  completely fill the display’s imaging chip’s. This allows all pixels to be used.

CineWide and CineWide with AutoScope requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide screen.
CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™
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 yo\
ur screen. It has also meant a possible loss of resolution because widescre\
en digital imaging chips are in the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, not nearl\
y as wide as 2.35:1.
Through the magic of our award winning CineWide and CineWide with AutoScope technology and the use of an appropriate screen, constant vert\
i-cal height is maintained, filling the entire screen area.  When you tr\
ansition 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.
While CineWide provides a fixed anamorphic lens, with the AutoScope op\
-tion the anamorphic lens in motorized and remote controlled.
