Panamorph CDR-G2

The CDR-G2 is an anamorphic lens that physically stretches your projector's output to achieve a 2.4:1 cinema aspect ratio. By utilizing the projector's full native resolution instead of cropping the image, it increases both brightness and pixel density for a sharper, more immersive picture.

The CDR-G2 is specifically engineered for compatibility with select Sony XW series (XW5100, XW6100, XW8100) and Epson QB/LS series (QB1000, LS9000 through LS12000) projectors. Please verify your exact model number against this list before purchasing to ensure proper fit and optical alignment.

The system includes the XM3 Universal Attachment Kit, which is designed to be flexible for both ceiling and shelf-mounting configurations. While it is straightforward to install, you will need to ensure the lens is precisely aligned with your projector's lens to maintain optimal image clarity.

Yes, it improves it. By capturing light that would otherwise be wasted on the black bars of a standard 16:9 image, the lens redirects those pixels into the active viewing area. This results in a noticeably brighter and more detailed image on your screen.

To get the full benefit of the 2.4:1 aspect ratio, you should ideally be using a 2.4:1 (ultra-wide) projection screen. While the lens will function with other setups, a compatible screen is necessary to fully realize the cinematic format and avoid image spillover.
