unco’s award winning development of
CineWide™ and CineWide with
AutoScope™ technology has
created a revolution in faithful
movie reproduction, for the
first time transforming home theater into home cinema.
This technology provides uncompromised widescreen
reproduction of movies originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2:35:1
format. It maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a
viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image simply
gets wider while full screen height is maintained, eliminating black bars.
This is done through an ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision
anamorphic optics. With the AutoScope option, the anamorphic lens is motorized and
remote controlled.
With CineWide the projection system is able to use the full pixel array on its SuperOnyx™
DMD™ chips, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased
brightness. no resolution or image area is lost to useless black bars on the top and bottom of
the screen that contain no picture information.

Constant vertical height and full resolution
are maintained. 100% of pixels are used.
Black Bars are eliminated.
Black bars = lost resolution
CineWide™ Technology
Conventional Method
2:35:1 image area
How it works:
The video processor anamorphically “stretches” the 2.35:1 image vertically
to completely fill the display’s imaging chips. This allows all pixels to be used.

The anamorphic lens then “stretches” the image width to 2.35:1. Correct geometry is restored,
while 100% of the pixels are now used to maintain full resolution and eliminate black bars.
