Installing and Adjusting
the CineWide Anamorphic
Lens
If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust
the anamorphic lens.
The standard Vision 85/CineWide uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens. This type of lens
compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the width) to achieve a 2.35:1
aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device.
The Vision 85/CineWide with AutoScope uses a cylindrical anamorphic lens with a much
larger aperture than the prismatic lens used with the standard Vision 85/CineWide.
If you are installing a Vision 85/CineWide with AutoScope, refer to Anamorphic Lens
Installation and Adjustment - Vision 85/CineWide with AutoScope on page 41. If you are
installing a standard Vision 85/CineWide, continue with the next section.

1. Use the Pitch Adjustment Screws and Washers (item #6) to attach the Vertical Mounting
Brackets (item #5) to the Anamorphic Lens (item #1).
2. Place the lens with the brackets installed on top of (or under, if the projector is inverted)
the Base Plate (item #2), so that the two threaded posts at the bottom of the brackets
pass through the corresponding slots on the base plate.
It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly adjusted
before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that the image from
the primary lens is perfectly centered on the screen.
