Panamorph DCR-G2 – Anamorphic Lens Kit

Leveraging our award winning DCR optics, our G2 (second generation) lens system is now packaged with the XM3 universal attachment kit for ceiling or shelf-mounting JVC DILA series projectors. Note that like the previous DCR and CDR lenses, these models do not change the width of the image – only the height – as they convert the full native resolution of the projector to the 2.4:1 cinema format with millions of more pixels for higher brightness and detail. The Alpha and DCR/CDR-G2 include the XM3 plate system for direct mounting to Sony XW, JVC D-ILA and Epson QB/LS projectors or for mounting the XM3 plate between the projector and ceiling mount. A bracket is included with the Alpha Pro either for shelf mounting or to attach to a dedicated Chief RPA/RPM ceiling mount (not included).

DCR-G2 is designed for JVC D-ILA projectors with 65mm lenses such as the NZ800 down to a 1.4:1 throw ratio and with 80mm lenses. It will also work with JVC projectors such as the NZ500/NZ700 with an 80mm lens down to a 1.6:1 throw ratio, and also the 100mm lens of the NZ900 with theater throw ratios of at least 1.7:1. Geometric performance is exactly the same as the DCR-J1 and DCR+XM2 which this model replaces.

CDR-G2 is designed for the Epson QB1000 (and also LS9000 through LS12000) projectors (full throw ratios with all models). The CDR applies a higher magnification than the DCR so an additional amount of barrel distortion should be expected (although Epson has the “point correction” feature to remove distortion if desired).

Installed in over 10,000 of the elite level home theaters world-wide, Panamorph's 8K rated anamorphic conversion lenses work in conjunction with the internal anamorphic modes of modern home theater projectors to provide up to a 30% increase in brightness levels on screen by recapturing millions of what would otherwise be unused black bar pixels, inserting them on to the projected image, all while maintaining video fidelity of the original source.
