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...

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 frame 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 without 
consuming extra bandwidth.
The following artifacts are common with interlaced video:
• edge tear (combing)

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...

2:3:3:2 (advanced) pulldown
This method is very similar to the normal pulldown. Unlike the normal pulldown 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.

Appendix B: Lens Char ts
How to use the lens charts
The lens charts on the following pages provide a quick guide to the 
type of lens needed for a particular projector.
To use the lens charts, you need the following information:
• The distance between the projector and the screen (throw 
distance)
• The maximum width of your screen
In the chart, find the point where the throw distance corresponds to 
the screen width, as shown in the example below.
