Notes:

1. The Proteus B lens can only be used in rear-projection installations.
2. Only the Proteus D, E and F lenses can be used with the optional CineWide (secondary
anamorphic) lens. Doing so affects the throw distances as shown here.
3. When using the Proteus D or E with the Whitney anamorphic lens, the screen width must be
78 inches or greater and the throw distance must be 144 inches or greater.
