Paladin DCR Anamorphic Lens System with XM2 Attachment Kit is the flagship lens model for native 17:9 projectors showing Digital Cinema Resolution (DCR) format up to true 8K.  It is also large enough to work with many future 17:9 home cinema projectors. Exceed commercial cinema quality by engaging the internal anamorphic modes of today's 4K projectors to add 2.6 million more pixels of clarity and 38% more brightness when showing the film and streaming content in the cinema format. Delivering the pinnacle of home cinema performance from the most recognized and most recommended anamorphic lens brand used in close to 10,000 of the highest end home cinema throughout the world.


Please note: The projection screen should be flat, in the 2.4:1 aspect ratio and with a minimum 1.5" border. The projector should be horizontally centred on the screen +/- 3 inches and pointing at the horizontal screen centre (i.e. minimum lens shift). The throw ratio (throw distance divided by screen viewable width) should be at least 1.4:1. Projector vertical position should around the top of the screen or up to several inches higher to insure the beam gets through the lens at a 1.4:1 throw ratio. This restriction becomes more relaxed with higher throw ratios.
