Bye-bye Black Bars

Fullscreen and widescreen with high resolution? It’s finally possible with Runco’s CineWide technology. This technology provides uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format. It maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater, without stretching the image. When a viewer transitions from widescreen (16:9) program material to superwide (2.35:1), the image simply gets wider while full screen height is maintained, eliminating black bars.

The image you see on the CineWide also boasts enhanced resolution and increased brightness. We’ve got the CineWide available for demonstration at Gramophone. It’s a great feat of technology that’s a feast for the eyes.
