« on: March 20, 2018, 04:20:31 PM »
I'm going to document my experiments with the fairly new Panamorph Paladin DCR Lens, with my JVC RS4500 projector and Lumagen Radiance Pro. video processor in this thread ( and anyone else that owns one - feel free to chime in ).

The lens and the U bracket -

So I had 4 people over for a Paladin DCR demonstration today. We watched the first couple of chapters of GOTG2, Star Trek and some of Passengers ( all on 4K Blu-ray ). Everyone preferred the picture with the lens in place. Not only was the picture brighter over all, the extra 2.5 million pixels get the picture more detail and one person thought more depth at times. The opening of Star Trek in particular showed more detail and nuances in the picture. Anyway, it's fun to get other people in to give opinions. Fun day !

In my setup I get 28% more lux with the lens than without, using a light meter and a 100IRE SDR test pattern.

Correction - going from 3840 zooming to 4096 using the full panel with the lens, it's slightly more than a 38% lumen increase, as measured with my Sper Scientific light meter !

No, you would only use a curved screen with a horizontal expansion lens and a throw ratio under 2.0.
