Below is what you see with your 16x9 projector and screen during this opening scene.
Now you want to go CINESCOPE, so you replace your existing 16x9 screen for a wider 2.35:1 screen, see below. Your new screen is the same height as your 16x9 screen was, its just wider.
Next you make use of the verticle stretch feature (this is a digital process not optical) either from your video scaler, PC, DVD/Blu-ray player, or projector. Notice, below, the black bars disappear and all the pixels in the projector are now being used to create the vertically streched image. The result is a finer image as more pixels are being used to create the movie image, and a brighter image since pixels that were once creating black bars are now used in the full color of the movie's image.
Finally, place your JTX Dual Prism Anamorphic Lens in front of your projector as instructed in the setup guide provided. The lens will horizontally expand the projected image to the cinescope aspect ratio of 2.35:1*. You now can sit back and enjoy your movie in full cinescope, the way it was meant to be viewed.
* NOTE: Cinesope aspect ratios are commonly referred to as 2.35:1 or 2.40:1. The JTX Dual Prism Anamorphic Lens actually produces an aspect ratio of 2.37:1 by horizontally expanding a 1.78:1 image by 33%, and is suitable for use in either of the cinescope fomats. For those interested in the math a 16x9 image is the same as a 1.78:1 aspect ratio (16/9 = 1.78). When a 16x9 image is horizontally expanded by 33%, a 2.37:1 aspect ratio is acheived (1.78 * 1.33 = 2.37).
