why do you guys go so over the top for such a small room - you planning on making your customers deaf? most people buy stuff that is way more than they need thanks to greedy types like you
Great video, as always. For me, Constant Image Area with three or four way masking is definitely the best way to go: You still get the benefit of 'scope movies being wider (as they should be), but at the same time don't compromise the size of 1.85:1 films. Different aspect ratios, but both the same size. Perfect.
How is the masking controlled? For instance, Top Gun Maverick switches between aspect ratios during the movie, could the masking be programmed that it automatically switches between scenes?
Honestly, that would be really awkward, because those things change faster than the masking could. The only seamless way would be to use a video processor, like madVR that reads several frames ahead, and switch is at the exact same time as the content changes. But there are so few movies that have multiple aspect ratios.
@@Youthman Indeed there are relatively very few - and I'm one of those people who would prefer it if there were far fewer..! I blame Nolan for this annoying gimmick.
I’m not going to have something this awesome but my screen is going to be 132x73. This will give me a 149” 16:9 and a 150” 2.39:1. I went with Seymour center stage xd and I will just make 4 masking panels with magnets when I want to change ratios.
Been using Seymour for years now. Why drop thousands on home theater equipment to chop aspect ratios on a locked projector screen. You are getting the movie experience the director intended regardless. This will become more popular as imax continues to push into the main stream of big budget films.
Yes Seymour is one of our founding exhibitors since we began in 2022. You can find all of the exhibitors on the website midwestavexperience.com/brands/
would love to hear these speakers one day. I love the idea of this, but I wonder if I would prefer this over NLS. I really do like filling up my entire screen.
With masking, your screen fits the content, so you're still filling the entire screen, the screen is just making the adjustment without distorting the image by using NLS. It's a much better way to go IMO.
