Abstract: A new patented system, called Cineavision® in Europe and Animexvision® in the U.S., applies lateral masking to the 35mm Style A image area or that of 16mm and super 8mm, or masks the width of a video recording tube. This achieves a uniform anamorphic image area aspect ratio both for image recording and reproduction. Image area losses are thus avoided and no time-consuming readjustments of optical printers are necessary. The aspect ratio chosen is identical in all cases with that of the 35mm anamorphic Style B image area. Normally, image area losses occur when 35mm Style B anamorphic images are reduced to the normal 16mm or super 8mm formats. The Cineavision aspect ratio of 1.18:1, originally standardized for the 35mm Style B anamorphic image area, permits enlargements as well as reductions. A final advantage of a system of uniform aspect ratios for the original as well as the projectable anamorphic image area is that a standardized screen aspect ratio of 2.35:1 becomes possible for all film formats or for an — as yet hypothetical — TV receiver tube of double width.
