Panamorph FVX200S anamorphic lens system for Sony projectors

Several studies conducted over the course of the early part of 2011 indicate that interest in 3D content may be waning. Part of this lack of interest may be due to the fact that this year's crop of 3D movies aren't that good, but the fact still remains that 3D is sputtering at this point.

Custom installers looking for a video upgrade path for their clients still have anamorphic technologies to turn to however. Panamorph the Colorado-based anamorphic lens company recently teamed with Sony to provide authorized Sony dealers with an easy way to upgrade their clients into a full CinemaScope home theater system.

Panamorph's new FVX200S anamorphic lens system is specifically designed for Sony's VPL-VW85 and VW90ES projectors and it's engineered to install with just two screws. Once the lens is mounted the projector/lens combination will be able to produce aspect ratio correct 2.40:1 images with no black bars. The competitively priced lens solution is also compatible with 3D content through the addition of additional video processors and consumers that use a Sony/Panamorph home theater system can toggle back-and-forth between 1.78:1 ( 16:9 widescreen) and 2.40:1 by just pressing a button.
