Panamorph conversion lenses work with the anamorphic modes of today’s most popular projectors to activate millions of unused black bar pixels – filling 2.4:1 cinema-format projection screens for theaters and commercial/educational venues with up to 30% higher brightness and detail while the Alpha and Alpha Pro also expand the image for an immersive experience far beyond what you can get even with the largest flat panel TV.

    • Alpha Pro lenses (independently mounted) are just much larger versions of the corresponding Alpha (mounted to projector withe XM3 plate) lens models. There is no performance difference on the screen. The Alpha Pro models are recommended for projectors with larger beams or to provide a more “future-proof” lens to be used for when a larger projector replacement may be desired in the future.
    • Both the Alpha DCR/CDR  ($11,995) and Alpha Pro DCR/CDR ($19,995) include Panamorph’s fully-coated, proprietary, distortion-free optical system whereas the DCR/CDR-G2 ($6,995) use the same industry-awarded performance as previous DCR models. DCR lenses deliver approximately 23% higher brightness and CDR lenses deliver approximately 30% higher brightness for the cinema format. 
    • The Alpha DCR/CDR and DCR/CDR-G2 include the XM3 plate system for direct mounting to Sony XW, JVC D-ILA and Epson QB/LS projectors or for mounting the XM3 plate between the projector and ceiling mount. A bracket is included with the Alpha Pro either for shelf mounting or to attach to a dedicated Chief RPA/RPM ceiling mount (not included).
    • Recommended throw distance for all lens models is between 12 and 35 feet. Optional corrector components ($5,000 MSRP) can modify the Alpha Pro DCR/CDR for optimum performance at 30′ – 40′, and 40′ – 70′. 
    • Lenses support projectors up to 12,000 lumens (Alpha and DCR/CDR-G2) and 30,000 lumens (Alpha Pro DCR/CDR).

    • No projector zoom/shift/focus features are needed with any Panamorph lens model.
