The CineWide™ with AutoScope™ system was developed exclusively
for select Vidikron projectors.
CineWide with AutoScope technology provides uncompromised
widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format. It maintains constant vertical height on
the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer transitions from
1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider
while full height is maintained.
Through a combination of software, electronics and remote controlled
motorized anamorphic optics, the projector is able to use the full pixel
array on its LightAmp™ DMD™ or D-ILA™ chips, thereby producing a
2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased brightness. No
resolution is lost to annoying black stripes on the top and bottom of the
screen that contain no picture information.
CineWide with AutoScope is available on the Vision Model 100
projector.

Conventional Method
Conventional 2.35:1 image displayed
on a 1.78:1 (16:9) screen.
IMAGE AREA
Black stripes = lost resolution
Video processor anamorphically “squeezes” the 2.35:1 image to fill a 16:9 or
4:3 display device image area. This allows all pixels to be used.
2.35:1 Image 16:9 or 4:3 Image Area
CineWide™ with AutoScope™
Constant Vertical height and full resolution
maintained. 100% of pixels are used.
16:9 IMAGE AREA

How it works:
FILL
SQUEEZE
Anamorphic lens then “stretches” the image back to 2.35:1. Correct geometry is restored,
while 100% of the pixels are now used to maintain full resolution.
