D-Cinema and ISCO


Sorry I don't have any images at this time, but I thought I would just share this anyway - Yesterday, I got see the almightly ISCO lens. This lens is not the ISCO III, but is the same size. Where it differs is the fact that it is 1.25x, not 1.33x as the ISCO III is. The reason it is 1.25x is becuase this lens is designed to work with the BARCO 3 Chip DLP D-Cinema projector which is 2064 x 1080 (1.91:1), not the traditonal 1920 x 1080 (1.78:1).

However, when used wih a 1.25:1 lens, the image becomes 2.37:1...

The lens was huge, at 6" or 150mm diameter, and heavy at about 22 pounds or 10KG.

I am hoping to be involved in the installation of this beast, as it currently sits in its shipping carton.

Very cool...

Mark
