Cinemascope
Most movies in commercial theaters that are released today are in 2.39:1 format, commonly referred to as Cinemascope. Enabling a true cinematic experience, Barco Residential is unique in offering true CinemaScope projectors for the residential market.
Their CinemaScope technology features a unique automatic aspect ratio detection function, which analyzes the incoming source and detects the “Content Aspect Ratio” to then automatically scale the image to fit the 5,120×2,160 resolution and change back to 16:9 3,840×2,160 resolution for content in that format. It will even change aspect ratio when a CinemaScope format movie has a menu outside the active picture frame. You can also manually switch between the different formats, and manually set the aspect ratio you would like to use.
