Stewart Filmscreen Corp Projection HDTV To the Owner, About the CineCurve

TO THE OWNER

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest optical viewing screens available anywhere in the world!

Please take a moment to review this manual, it will help ensure you many years of trouble-free service from your new Stewart Filmscreen product.

About the CineCurve

Your CineCurve features a 2.35:1 aspect ratio to allow full enjoyment of images in this dramatic, super-widescreen format produced by a projector with an anamorphic lens.

To accommodate other aspect ratios, the CineCurve features a masking system. The screen maintains a constant vertical height, while the electronically controlled side masking panels create the right screen area for viewing images projected in different aspect ratios: from its native CinemaScope to NTSC 4.3, widescreen, and HDTV 16:9 formats.

A side trim cover is available as an option.

The frame acts as a projection overscan border. The VeLux finish is designed to absorb any overscanning.

BRIC

The CineCurve uses the Stewart Filmscreen BRIC for operation of the masking motors. You can preset several masking postions to achieve desired aspect ratios.

Refer to the BRIC manual for more information on installing the BRIC and operating the masking motors with the BRIC.
