3.
Adjust the rotation of the CineVista so that the left and right sides of the image are an
equal distance from their respective screen borders. Now tighten the
Pivot Screw
(B)
on top of the CV Mount Adjustment Block using the 5/32” Hex Key.
4.
Adjust the vertical position and tilt of the CineVista Lens so that the projector beam is
passing through the center of the Lens and so any residual pincushion distortion (an
inward curvature to the image) is about the same at the top and bottom of the image.
Tilting the lens up or down on its axis will even out this curvature. This will typically
result in the CineVista Lens being below the center of the projector lens and tilted
downward slightly. Tighten the lens bracket
Adjustment Screws
(A) to lock the lens in
place.
5.
For optimum multiple aspect ratio performance, adjust the projector’s zoom so that a
1.85:1 aspect ratio movie is just masked by the top and bottom of the screen border.
This way 1.85:1, 16:9 and 2.35-2.40:1 aspect ratio movies should all be presented to fill
the screen at a constant height.
PROJECTOR SETTINGS WHEN USING THE CINEVISTA
To enjoy an Ultra-Widescreen 2.35:1 movie it is necessary to use two “aspect modes”.
These modes are either in your projector or in an external device such as a scaler, some
blu-ray players and some a/v receivers.
The first aspect mode is a “vertical stretch” setting which is used for ultra wide content. This
removes the letterbox bars from a 2.35:1 image by stretching the image vertically. The
CineVista lens corrects the vertically stretched image geometry to fill your ultra wide screen.
The second aspect mode is 4:3 mode. This mode is used when watching 16:9 HD content
like TV shows or standard widescreen movies (1.78:1 or 1.85:1).

Please consult your projector’s instructions for these settings
and how they are activated.
