As you've proven, it has the best picture size for a WIDESCREEN presentation, and largest picture size for 16:9 tv's. In my opinion 1.78:1 is the best Aspect Ratio. "Advancing the art and science of electronic imaging" Existing digital cinema projectors can accommodate 48 fps exhibition with a firmware upgrade. Witness reports from the production set of 'The Hobbit' have said the improvement to image quality of the dailies viewed is substantial. Both are working on movies at 48 fps in 3D ('Avatar II' and 'The Hobbit', respectively). Movie luminaries like James Cameron and Peter Jackson are promoting higher frame rates, rather than ever higher resolution, as a better way to improve the image quality of digital movies. Blu-ray Disc will continue to be mastered at 1920 x 1080p for some time. Commercial cinema digital projectors are gradually moving up to 4K. The first major digital movie camera developed by Sony for Lucasfilm was 1920 x 1080. This preserves the most image quality at the front end so that conversion and processing stages down the road cause less image quality loss. The objective in the industry is to capture and convert to digital intermediate files (DI) at the highest resolution and bit depth practical. Digital movie cameras are also evolving, with newer ones shooting at 4K. Some labs are now using 6K and 8K (used for some 65mm and IMAX films). Early digital scans were 2K, most now use 4K. But almost no theatre is doing that because it means they have to change the lens when they switch from 1.85 to 2.39 films and most are too lazy to even remove the 3D filter when projecting 2D movies.Īs laser film scanning technology evolves, what a given film is scanned at will change. However, there's an option to expand the 1716 in the projector to 2160 and then use a 1.25:1 anamorphic lens that results in a 2.37:1 image, so in that case, the projector is using the full 4096 x 2160 image area. 2.39 movies are projected at 4096 x 1716 if projected flat (actually 2.387:1). The Sony 4K projector projects 1.85 movies at 3996 x 2160. The only time I see 2.35:1 on a broadcast is when some commercials are shot that way. What really annoys me is that they seem to be doing it for anamorphic films as well. I think they do it because people complain if there's any black bars, even tiny ones. But I assume this is being done by the cable networks, not by the MSO. On TV, most 1.85 movies are enlarged to 16:9, at least that's what I'm seeing from my cable company. (All vertical dimensions are approximate due to whether or not they scan every last bit of image in the frame and what the original frame dimensions were, which varied over time and camera). I don't know what they're scanned at, but in terms of presentation on your TV:Ī 1.78:1 (16:9) presentation uses 1920 x 1080 pixelsĪ 1.85 presentation uses 1920 x 1038 pixelsĪ 2.35 anamorphic presentation uses 1920 x 817Ī 2.39 anamorphic presentation uses 1920 x 803Ī 2.55 Cinemascope presentation uses 1920 x 753Ī 2.75 Ultra-Panavision presentation uses 1920 x 698.
