Author Topic: Screens without masking Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-19-2001 09:30 PM                     For theaters tight on budget, a manual top and bottom masking can be installed without too much problem. A light-wood re-inforced frame with hinges will do nicely on the bottom. Seen it - and done it.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 06-20-2001 08:49 AM                     Cinemeccanica V-5 manual and auto turrets have sufficient adjustments for top masking situations. In more severe locations we have also used an eccentric bushing available from the factory to use a european (smaller ) barrel lens within the larger USA mount for greater correction......... Light loss varies with the focal length of the lens. the latest Schneider optical program has a lens shift feature to give you input if the focal length will work.....Most of our installations are top masking since customers want wall to wall images and with stadium rooms there is usually plenty of space to go up.
