Infocus Selects Panamorph to Provide 2.35:1 Wide Screen Optics Solution for Play Big Home Cinema Projectors

Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) September 5, 2007 -- InFocus® Corporation (NASDAQ: INFS) has selected Panamorph, Inc. as their preferred provider of add-on lens systems to deliver the rapidly growing 2.35:1 wide screen format to owners of its high performance home cinema projectors including the recently announced 1080p IN82. The 2.35:1 "aspect ratio" of image width to image height is the most popular format of major motion pictures due to its panoramic effect. When used with a 2.35:1 screen, Panamorph lenses allow InFocus projectors to fill the full height of the screen without black bars for a truly immersive viewing experience previously available only in the largest movie theaters.

InFocus Play Big home cinema projectors have Panamorph Mode I and Mode II advanced scaling capabilities built-in to work with all 2.35:1 Panamorph imaging configurations. In conjunction with a special attachment kit developed by Panamorph, converting an InFocus projector to the new format is as simple as adding the appropriate Panamorph lens system and upgrading an older 16:9 screen to the new 2.35:1 format screen.

"Our industry-leading home cinema projectors have been capable of exploiting anamorphic 'wide screen' lens technology for years," stated Robb Robles, Product Manager, InFocus. "Panamorph is at the forefront of delivering the high performance wide screen experience to demanding home cinema enthusiasts --- in other words, the typical buyer of an InFocus home projector --- at affordable pricing. We are very pleased that Panamorph now offers an InFocus-compatible solution, both for our new customers and for our large installed base of existing customers who want to upgrade their home theaters to this largest format."

"InFocus projectors certainly make the conversion to the 2.35:1 True Widescreen format easy for the custom installer," commented Shawn Kelly, President of Panamorph. "Because the projectors have the necessary scaling built in, it's just a matter attaching the anamorphic system, installing a 2.35:1 screen and showing the user how to engage the necessary imaging modes. And it's not just about having a wider format image and no black bars. Anamorphic technology allows movies in this ultimate wide screen format to be shown with an amazing 33% more resolution and 20% more light output. That's enough to want to watch your entire 2.35:1 library over again."

Home cinema enthusiasts can choose from a range of Panamorph solutions to use with their InFocus projector, from a lower cost "fixed" lens ($995 MSRP) for permanent conversion to 2.35:1, all the way up to a fully motorized and remote controlled lens system for the ultimate multi-aspect ratio performance ($5,995 MSRP).

Custom home theater installers can purchase Panamorph's optical system, including Panamorph's attachment system for InFocus projectors, directly from Panamorph. The attachment system is compatible with all recent InFocus Play Big models, including the InFocus Play Big SP777, SP7205, SP7210, IN76, IN78, IN81 and IN82.
