TV broadcast with a black stripe on the top and one on the bottom when playing on a conventional 4:3 screen. Widescreen televisions in the image may extend cinemascope is to completely fill the screen without losing so part of the picture.

Peering into an anamorphic lens shows that it magnifies (projection lenses), or compresses (camera lenses) the image only in one direction. While all the elements in this Bausch & Lomb CinemaScope projection lens are round, they appear more and more elliptical as light passes through one element to the next.

These projectors can be paired with a Panamorph or some other anamorphic lens to show CinemaScope without the black bars at
the top and bottom of the screen.

CinemaScope is not stereoscopic movies-not the same as the 3-D films also causing a flurry in Hollywood. CinemaScope films do not require the use of viewing spectacles, do not require special dual motion picture cameras and dual projectors. But the result on the screen, which does present an illusion of three-dimension pictures, is said by many to be superior to 3-D films.

Cinemascope - 2.35:1 to 2.55:1 was once the most commonly used method of filming movies because its only major requirement
was a special CinemaScope projector lens. This lens was and still is available at many movie theatres. CinemaScope was originally created by 20th Century Fox, but it is no longer in use in its original format. the pseudo anamorphic lens emulation abilities of the PT-AE3000, you have the option of purchasing a 2.35:1 screen, instead of a 16:9. This will make sense to most movie only viewers, and some that primarily watch movies, as it gets rid of those pesky letterboxes on all those Cinemascope shaped movies (the vast majority of movies).

Ex.:
Optoma’s new BX-AL133 Cinemascope lens they’ve also announced at CES which converts Hollywood movies into their native 2.35:1 aspect ratio for ultra-widescreen viewing to optimize the viewing of wide-screen content and to recreate the CinemaScope™ feeling of the classical theater. With Optoma HD80™ in combination with Prismasonic® Horizontal stretch Prism lens and Elite Screens® Fixed Frame Brilliant White 115" Cinemascope™ screen in the aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and size of 45"x106" you can enjoy HD DVDs in Cinemascope without the annoying horizontal black bars.
