and
minimum 2.5” screen border
in the

2.25:1
2.4:1
also be used for primarily 2.4:1 content with optical zoom adjustments
or cropping for 16:9 content.
2. Projector lens center should be

ABOUT GEOMETRIC DISTORTION
. Anamorphic horizontal
expansion lenses create a slight “pincushion” shaped curvature
especially at the edges of the image.
The amount of this distortion
decreases as the projection distance is increased for a given
screen size
. See the Image Geometry estimator in the Lens Selector
at
for approximate distortion to expect. Masking
www.panamorph.com
the edges of the image by the screen border makes this distortion
much less noticeable especially for dramatic content.
CLEANING.
Small amounts of dust and wipe marks are very
noticeable on lens surfaces with a high brightness projection beam but
typically will not impact the image as much as damage from excessive
cleaning in pursuit of a "perfect" optical surface. Occasionally blowing
off the lens surfaces with clean air is the best way to keep long term
performance. If there is any excessive residue or build-up then it is
recommended that you clean the optics with professional lens cleaning
supplies such as from a camera store while the lens is in front of the lit
beam of the projector. This will allow you to quickly see if the cleaning
process is causing any damage.
