Here is an earlier You Tube video I did which shows the update process.
Summary on using Theater Optimizer with Ultra Wide Screens. I hope this adds clarity.
There are two basic methods. Lens memory or Anamorphic lens.
Lens Memory:
This is simple. Use the actual 16x9 projected image.
For example. You have a 120” 2.35:1 screen. 46.9” height x 110.4” width.
Your 16x9 image is 46.9” x 83.5”. 96” diagonal. Round up to 100”.
Your 2.35 image is actually a 62.1” x 110.4”. 127” diagonal. This is a 16x9 image where the black bars are simply above and below the screen. Round up to 130”.
Anamorphic.
A little more complicated, but not that much.
For example. You have a 120” 2.35:1 screen. 46.9” height x 110.4” width.
Using an old school expansion lens, your actual 16x9 image is 46.9” x 83.5”. 96” diagonal. Round up to 100”. Turn on Anamorphic Scaling (A or B) in the JVC menu. Then set Theater Optimizer.
Using a newer compression lens, your actual 16x9 image is 62.1” x 110.4”. 127” diagonal. It is then compressed. Round up to 130”. Turn on Anamorphic Scaling (C or D) in the JVC menu. Then set Theater Optimizer.
Remember that you need to “set” Theater Optimizer after inputting all other settings, and you need to do it for each memory/install mode.
Also, please note regarding anamorphic. There are two different scenarios. Expansion lens and compression lens. Expansion with a sled will have one memory with anamorphic scaling and one without. With a fixed lens, each of those scenarios will have 2 different anamorphic modes (A&B or C&D). Each of those anamorphic modes will be saved per installation mode and the customer will just recall installation modes when changing aspect ratio.
