page 118 Reference Guide ASPECT RATIOS EXPLAINED Aspect ratio example: TheaterScope The TheaterScope setting is used in combination with an anamorphic lens to restore 2.35:\ 1 images packed into a 16:9 frame. Such images are projected with black lines at the top and bottom of the 16:9 screen \ to make up for the difference in aspect ratios. Without an anamorphic lens and without the TheaterScope setting applied, a 16:9 source containing a 2.35:1 image lo\ oks like this: If we change the setting to TheaterScope, the black lines will disappear but the image will stretch vertically t\ o reach the top and bottom of the DMD™: An anamorphic lens will stretch the image horizontally, restoring the original 2.35 ratio: Notes Black margin – part of the source Black margin – part of the source Digital Projection HIGHlite 660 3D Series Rev E Februar y 2015
page 119 Reference Guide FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED Frame Rates And Pulldowns Explained Interlaced and progressive scan A progressive scan is a method of updating the image by drawing all the lines of each fram\ e in a sequence. In contrast, interlaced video alternately scans odd and even lines. In old analog TV interlacing was commonly used as a way of doubling the refresh rate w\ ithout consuming extra bandwidth. The following artifacts are common with interlaced video: • edge tear (combing) The image lands between two fields and blurs. This is commonly observed when viewing rapid lateral movement. • aliasing (stair-stepping) The texture of the image becomes populated with unrealistic patterns. Aliasing occurs because of differences between the original frame rate and the destination format. • twitter The image shimmers, for example when showing rolling credits. This happens when the image contains thin horizontal lines that only appear in one field. Frame rates of image sources Original analog films are made at 24 fps and the whole frame is projected at once. To eliminate flicker and create an impression of continuous movement, the projector blades divide the images so that the \ viewer sees 48 frames per second. Interlaced video scans odd lines, then even. Two fields are blended into one image. NTSC video (60i) is 29.97 fps, or 59.94 fields per second. 24p video is progressive but without the benefit of projector blades dividing the images, so it looks jumpier on playback than film. 24p is the optimal format for projects that are finished on film. 30p is optimal for projects finished on video. It has fewer strobing issues than 24p in video playback. Notes Digital Projection HIGHlite 660 3D Series Rev E Februar y 2015
page 120 Reference Guide FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED Pulldowns - conversion into destination formats Pulldowns are a method of converting a 24p source into a different destination format by adding extra frames to the source. 2:3 (nor mal) pulldown This method is used to convert a 24p source (film) into a 60i destination (NTSC video) by adding two extra fields for every four frames, effectively increasing the frame rate to 30 fps. The frame is split into fields and then two fields are repeated for every four original frames as shown in the illustration below. Notes Original film, 24 fps Field 1 (odd) Field 2 (even)Resulting video, 30 fps Digital Projection HIGHlite 660 3D Series Rev E Februar y 2015
page 121 Reference Guide FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED 2:3:3:2 (advanced) pulldown This method is very similar to the normal pulldown. Unlike the normal pu\ lldown method, the resulting 30 fps video sequence contains only one frame containing fields from two different source frames. The advantage of this method is that it is easier to reverse, if necessa\ ry. Original film, 24 fps Field 1 (odd) Field 2 (even)Resulting video, 30 fps Notes The projector will use advanced pulldown on suitable video material, wherever possible.

For images that do not fill the width of the DMD, the throw ratio needs to be recalculated using a throw ratio correction (TRC). For further information, see Choosing A Lens and Appendix B: Lens Charts in this guide. Throw distance calculations are based on the distance from the outer end of the lens, which will vary from lens to lens. Lens extension is measured when the lens is focussed at infinity, and fully extended. At other focus settings, the extension could be up to 10 mm less.
