	Cinemascope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cinemascope, or more strictly CinemaScope, was a widescreen movie format used from 1953 to 1967.
		The hypergonar lens patents were acquired by 20th Century Fox in 1952 and the system was renamed "Fox CinemaScope." The advantage over Cinerama was that all the system needed was an additional lens unit fitted to the front of ordinary cameras and projectors.
		CinemaScope itself was called Regalscope when used by the Fox adjunct Regal Films for fl-and-white features.

		Il cinemascope è un sistema di cinematografia su grande schermo che si serve di obiettivo anamorfico o Hypergonar ideato nel 1925 dal francese Henri Chrétien.
		Il cinemascope consiste nel deformare, in ripresa, le immagini e poi disanamorfizzarle in proiezione al fine di ottenere fotogrammi a largo campo visivo, con un conseguente gradevole effetto.
		In seguito nacquero alcuni sistemi analoghi al cinemascope, ma differenti per grado di anamorfizzazione; alcuni di questi erano: il videoscope, il techniscope, il dialyscope, il gaumonscope, il cinepanoramic, l'ultrascope, il totalscope...

	Bazin on CinemaScope
		It must also be said that, after a few yards, binocular vision plays only a secondary role in the perception of depth, and that the location of objects in space is the result of a series of factors which could as well be taken in by a one-eyed viewer.
		CinemaScope has an affinity as well with genres like the Western, whose signature framing is the long shot showing the landscape stretching toward the horizon.
		The CinemaScope image, photographed on normal 35mm film, is about two and a half times as wide as it is high when it is projected, and has an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, as compared with the conventional screen aspect ratio of 1.33:1.

		In the CinemaScope system, the lens squeezes the scene exactly in half before it is recorded on the film.
		The fact that the CinemaScope image on the screen is about two and one third times wider than it is tall, is just a way of describing its aspect ratio.
		CinemaScope was a process pioneered by Twentieth Century-Fox in the 1950's and 1960's.

	Restoring Cinemascope 55 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Cinemascope 55 is a format 20th Century Fox introduced in 1956 to address the problem of the poor resolution of the current camera stocks of the time.
		Their engineer’s solution was to use more image area and the format they decided on was a negative that is 55.625mm wide by eight perforations high with foxhole perforations.
		All this leads to the currant problem Fox has of two features that are an important part of their library in a film format that is obsolete and te only film element existing in 35mm is an interpositve made in the 60’s of inferior quality.

		Rather, CinemaScope lays bare the fact that the size of the screen is, precisely, arbitrary - it shrinks, it swells, it widens.
		Even if the CinemaScope image puts itself forward as the ideal one, it nonetheless gestures backward toward the standard it exceeds and forward to the culmination it presages--where, perhaps, the screen will be everywhere, not confined only to central and now peripheral vision, but achieving total surround, having taken over (at last!) everything.
		CinemaScope was an outgrowth, rather than a direct implementation, of Chrétien's technology, and Barthes's reclamation of CinemaScope as decisively French perhaps participates in some of the same myths of prideful ownership that many of the movies made in this format took as their conscious or unconscious subjects.

		Cinemascope is a useful application that can fool Marathon 2 and Infinity into displaying terminal pictures that are twice the normal width.
		Cinemascope will muck about with your pictures to allow you to use and display images that are 614 by 266 pixels, giving you an image that goes right across the terminal with any terminal text drawn over the top of its right hand side.
		All Cinemascope does is stuff the rectangle Marathon is expecting into this initial boundary rectangle and then change a few instructions within the PICT image so that it still displays properly.

		This was the most commonly used method of filming movies because it's only major requirement is a special CinemaScope projector lens, which is available at virtually every movie theatre.
		CinemaScope was originally created by 20th Century Fox, but it is no longer in use.
		CinemaScope was retired in favor of Panavision, and Panavision still makes the lenses for most of the major studio productions today.

		CinemaScope, the new movie process which was introduced with "The Robe," is quite as impressive as the picture itself.
		CinemaScope used an anamorphic lens to squeeze a wide image onto traditional 35mm film during filming.
		CinemaScope also provided stereo sound using four magnetic tracks on either sides of the sprocket holes.

		"Cinemascope" is the fourth full-length release by the Berlin-based artist Monolake, a.k.a.
		With "Cinemascope," Robert Henke continues to keep the beat, but allows the rhythms to blend into the mix a bit more, and the result is perhaps the most accessible Monolake release to date.
		"Cinemascope" finds Robert Henke breaking out of his previous sonic territories of expansive, ambient architecture, and proceeds to expand upon his rhythmic tendencies in ways that have created a soundtrack that is both otherworldly atmospheric and recognizably emotive and musical.

	ABOUT CINEMASCOPE
		Even though Fox had tested the CinemaScope process thoroughly, no one was quite sure that everything would work the way it did on paper and THE ROBE was simultaneously shot in standard 35mm as well as with the new CinemaScope system....just in case.
		The CinemaScope system utilizes the standard 35mm film strip, with its conventional, nearly square frame; but a special anamorphic lens is placed in front of the camera lens which "sees" a picture that is twice as wide as it is high and then compresses it by a factor of two.
		When CinemaScope was abandoned by the industry for the newer Panavision system (see accompanying article), Fox abandoned the "CinemaScope" frame in the opening logo and went back to the original fanfare without Newman's tag.

		Tale sistema fu brevettato negli anni '50 dalla 20th Century Fox ed utilizzato per la prima volta nel film La Tunica.
		In seguito nacquero alcuni sistemi analoghi al CinemaScope, ma differenti per grado di anamorfizzazione; alcuni di questi erano: il Videoscope, il Techniscope, il Dialyscope, il Gaumonscope, il Cinepanoramic, l'Ultrascope, il Totalscope, il SuperScope conosciuto anche come RKO-Scope e molti altri, che ebbero tuttavia poca fortuna.
		I film girati con i vari sistemi anamorfici, erano tutti in 35 mm, poi venne ideato il SuperCinemaScope o Cinemascope 55, che utilizzava una pellicola cinematografica da 55 mm, ma questo metodo non è più usato.

	History of CinemaScope
		The CinemaScope process became a permanent fixture in filmmaking, even though the Bausch & Lomb lenses and the CinemaScope trademark was discontinued in the late 1960's.
		CinemaScope was designed, not only for wide-screen projection, but also just as importantly, for large-screen presentation.
		The effect of first experiencing CinemaScope in the 1950's, would be akin to a modern-day cinema-goer experiencing an IMAX movie for the first time on a 6-story high screen.

		CinemaScope is a simple, inexpensive process applicable to either color or fl-and-white films, which simulates three-dimension to the extent that objects and actors seem to be part of the audience, while its stereophonic sound imparts additional life-like quality as it moves with the actors across the screen.
		CinemaScope is a simplified improvement of an anamorphoscope lens (which he called a Hypergonar) developed by Frenchman Henri Chretien with whom 20th Century-Fox recently closed arrangements for its use and other patented improvements.

		The Panavision Super Panatar or "Gottschalk Lens" as it was known, utilized a variable-width prism that allowed theater owners to adjust the throw of the projected image to fit the size of their existing screen.
		As a result, only CinemaScope movies could be shown at a theater that had this type of lens mounted on the projector.

		The problem, however, is that no microdisplay company that we are aware of has a native CinemaScope display on its product development roadmap.
		While such systems will be targeted at the high end of the home theater market, most of the action is focused on enabling a mass consumer market to front projection systems.

		Placing one's leading lady at the center of a CinemaScope frame was known to add unwanted weight and distortion, which meant that every shot had to be perfectly composed in an effort to work around the problems.
		If you view the CinemaScope output of any of the studios in the first few years of CinemaScope, you'll quickly understand just how difficult working with this process was, how distorted the images could be - and why the perfected Panavision optics finally made anamorphic cinematography a fully workable system.
		CinemaScope used an anamorphic lens to optically squeeze the image 2:1, which would then be unsqueezed using a similar lens in projection.

		The public loved CinemaScope and, even though the touted 3-D effect was all hoopla, it was clear that the party was over for the standard-sized screen.
		Since the early 1950s, almost all CinemaScope movies have been shown on television in "pan and scan" versions, which trim the picture from one side or the other when TV prints are made.
		CinemaScope only lasted 14 years, but the impact it had on the movie industry was truly revolutionary.

		CinemaScope's very wide frame was a rectangular type shape that originally had an aspect ratio of 2.66:1 compared to the roughly square shape with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 that movies had previously had.
		From the start, CinemaScope's screen shape had a major impact on Hollywood and began to influence the type of movies that the industry made.
		Regardless of the studio, the films made in CinemaScope were the type that worked best in the widescreen format -- like swords and sandals epics, westerns, historical adventures, war stories and other big action films.

		In the early Eighties Superscope was revived as "Super 35." Because of the many cost-saving and photographic advantages of this system—spherical lenses need less light and have greater depth of field than their anamorphic counterparts—both Super 35, and its counterpart Super 16, are widely used today in feature film and television production.
		Jack Warner was finally convinced by the test CinemaScope footage shot by Milton Krasner, ASC, and decided to scrap the first ten days of shooting and start over.
		Curiously, the first released Regal film, "Stagecoach to Fury" (1956), bore a CinemaScope logo, though the size of the logo was much smaller and less prominent than it had been on "A" pictures.
