Have you discovered the power of Horizontal stretch yet? The Panamorph UH480 lens and automatic transport give you the ultimate home cinema viewing experience. Take any one of the majority of Hollywood movies, screen it on an LP Morgan 2.40:1 screen and using the combination of your projector’s onboard scaling and a Panamorph lens and you’ll be amazed.

What’s so good? No black bars for starters; 33% wider image but overall a massive 80% increase in active viewing area.

The bonus of the motorised sled is that there are no trade offs – full screen, full brightness 16:9 images AND full screen, full brightness 2.40:1 images. And seamless movement between the two via an IR remote.

Panamorph is setting a new standard for enhanced performance lens with the DC1: Highest contrast expansion lens available due to enhanced custom, multilayer dielectric coatings in a patented optical design, an Industry exclusive sealed optical path to minimize contaminants that degrade contrast and precision tolerance optics. Add improved cosmetics, and the same plug and play ease of install that Panamorph has become famous for and the DC1 gives a winning performance as the highest quality Horizontal Expansion lens in the industry.

What’s the story with Anamorphic Lenses and 3D viewing?

Simple really – combine an anamorphic lens with 3D capability and you get the ultimate in immersive viewing experiences. Anamorphic and 3D are complementary technologies and both are about creating an immersive experience. But If 3D is about feeling a part of the action then relative size is an important part of your 3D display. Often 16:9 flat panels are just too small to effectively display 3D content - imagine a bunch of 6" tall people hovering in front of your eyes.
With 3D equipped home theatre projectors coming onto the market from late 2010 combining it together with Panamorph will create an incredible inhome 3D experience.
