XEIT Crystalmorphic Anamorphic Lens

Specifications

Throw Ratio:
NOTE: In the following discussion Throw Ratio (TR) is defined as:
?Throw from projector lens divided by 16:9-format image width?.

Throw Ratio can be calculated in one of two ways (where T = Throw):

Based on 16:9-screen width (W):
TR = T/W

Based on Screen Height(H)
TR = T * 0.5625/H

Pincushion:
Pincushion as a decimal fraction of screen height (PP) = 4.21/(100*{TR}^1.910963)
Absolute Pincushion: PP*H

• Astigmatism Performance (focus clarity across screen):

Notes:
1. All measurements assume orthogonal projector alignment (centered on screen center).
2. Subtract 2% from X-axis measurements for curved screen.

• Color Transmission Performance

Minimal: 2% yellow shift only, compared to original raw projector image.
Note: During fine calibration, BLUE channel only needs correction by 2%. This is well within the human eye's compensation ability, so many users do not bother with the adjustment.

• Contrast Loss compared to original image

On/Off: < 0.5% loss
ANSII: < 0.5% loss

• Constant Height Performance:

Negligible change between lens-in to lens-out.

Note:
This equates to a maximum of 5mm per metre of screen height (0.06" per foot of screen height).

• Pincushion:

Nominally identical to other 1.33x anamorphic lenses.

Pincushion Calculations (assuming lens is tilted evenly):

Pincushion as a decimal fraction of screen height (PP):
PP = 4.21/(100*{TR}^1.910963) ? (multiply x100 for percentage)

Absolute Pincushion:
PP*H

• Geometric/Grid Distortion:

Flat screen:

@TR=1.5: Typically 7.95% edge-to-center
@TR=2.0: Typically 4.4% edge-to-center
@TR=2.5: Typically 2.8% edge-to-center
