Balder Cinemascope
Featuring a native Cinemascope optical engine, custom designed by Barco using all glass, aspherical optical components and
aluminium casework. Barco Residential’s unique software enables a film created and transmitted in any format between 1.85:1
and 2.40:1 to be up-scaled to utilise all 11 million pixels that are available on screen and for 16x9 images to be displayed between
vertical black masking bars at full 4K UHD resolution.
Balder Cinemascope negates the need for an Anamorphic lens (which destroy ANSI contrast, whilst also creating a loss of
uniformity and an increase in chromatic aberration), or for installers to utilise lens memory and overshoot (creating a less than
desirable user experience and a 30% loss of light output in 2.37:1).
Balder Cinemascope simplifies installation, overall image quality is improved and the customer experience is enhanced.
