EPIC DRAGON FORMATS

The table below describes the formats that are available for EPIC DRAGON.
Default for EPIC DRAGON is 6K 2:1.
The table below omits rows for the anamorphic formats, since the pixel dimensions for each anamorphic format

and the corresponding non-anamorphic format are the same. For more information, go to

“Anamorphic” on

EPIC DRAGON offers a 6:5 aspect ratio for each resolution. Using a 6:5 aspect ratio at 2x anamorphic gives

you a 2:40:1 aspect ratio.
