Installing and Adjusting
the CineWide Anamorphic
Lens
If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust
the CineWide anamorphic lens.
The standard Vision 50/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 50/CineWide with AutoScope uses a cylindrical anamorphic lens with a much
larger aperture than the prismatic lens used with the standard Vision 50/CineWide.
If you are installing a Vision 50/CineWide with AutoScope, refer to Anamorphic Lens
Installation and Adjustment - Vision 50/CineWide with AutoScope on page 36. If you are
installing a standard Vision 50/CineWide, continue with the next section.

in these instructions.
