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.
Our 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 5,120x2,160 resolution and change back to 16:9 3,840x2,160 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.
