Author Topic: Barco Escape Allan Young Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: EGHAM, Surrey UK Registered: Jun 2011 posted 03-16-2019 02:54 AM                     quote: Marcel Birgelen The Seattle Cinerama is playing all kinds of DCI content. Yes, a whole lot of the screen will only be used by real Cinerama features, but the deeply curved screen doesn't prohibit them to show normal formats. Seattle has two screens. The deeply curved one is only used for Cinerama showings.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 03-16-2019 06:12 AM                     They seemingly have one room and two screens... Which I didn't know. Kind of an intriguing, but somewhat impractical setup. Yet, there are other DCI setups using deeply curved screens.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Sorry no..that's reaching. It never intended to eliminate scaling or anamorphics (which require scaling)...I was more involved with such things then on the standards front than I am now (I'm lacking time). I've used anamorphics in some high-profile situations with studio screenings. Never had one pick off visible artifacts.  |  IP: Logged
