Transformative Visual Experience with Panamorph DCR

Immerse yourself in the ultimate cinematic encounter right from the comfort of your home with the Panamorph DCR lens. Dreamedia is proud to introduce a game-changing accessory for your high-end home theater projector, promising to elevate your viewing experience to new heights.

Unleashing the Full Potential of Your Projector

The Panamorph DCR lens is ingeniously designed to work seamlessly with your projector’s internal modes, activating those unused black bar pixels that often go to waste. By optically compressing the vertical dimension, it restores the original shape of the image, preserving additional performance and ensuring no detail is left behind.

A Widescreen Experience Like No Other

  • Compatibility: Tailored for compatibility with a range of Sony projectors, including the VPL-VW295ES and VPL-VW715ES among others.
  • Image Enhancement: Fills your cinema-format projection screen with up to 30% higher brightness and detail.
  • Expansion Capability: Expands your image beyond the projector’s maximum for the ultimate big-screen experience.

Every frame is a brush stroke on the canvas of your 2.4:1 cinema format screen, optimized for a visual spectacle that is true to the director’s vision.

Next-Level Resolution and Brightness

The lens doesn’t just magnify the image; it enhances it. With its ability to utilize the internal anamorphic modes of 4K projectors, the Panamorph DCR adds 2.6 million more pixels of clarity, giving you a resolution that’s as sharp as reality itself.

  • Brightness Enhancement: A staggering 38% increase in brightness when displaying movies and streaming content in the cinema format.
  • Aspect Ratio: Restores the original 2.4:1 movie aspect ratio, delivering an authentic widescreen experience.

Industry-Recognized Excellence

The Panamorph brand comes with a heritage of recognition and awards. Having been the recipient of the CEPro Product of the Year for 2019 and 2020, the DCR lens stands as a testament to quality and innovation in the realm of anamorphic lenses.

Tailored Lens Settings

  • Anamorphic Lens Setting: 1.24x magnification for a larger-than-life image.
  • Aspect Settings: V-Stretch and Squeeze settings to accommodate content of varying aspect ratios.

Hassle-Free Shipping and Ordering

  • Lead Time: Detailed on the product page for your convenience.
  • Special Arrangements: Tailgate delivery comes standard, with options for inside delivery to meet your specific needs.

Seamless Connectivity
