BEN-HURVISION Possible with the SK

With Ben-Hur slated for next year in Blu, I did a quick CIH lens check to see if the Barco can go all the way from 2.76 to 1.77.

It can.





AR Lens-pos( 1.6-2.5) Srn width TD
2.76 1.6 165.6 264.96 22.08
2.4 1.84 144 264.96 22.08
1.77 2.49 106.2 264.96 22.08

You need to buy yourself a GPS with all those screens you are selling.

Here are some others that would benefit from BenhurVision:

Ha!

Something Art said about seamed screens belonging in convention centers ringed true. This solution is a 2.76 supernova core dismantlement-capable Supernova 8/85 screen. I am not the first person to do a supernova 2.76 for BenHur (that Sam Runco has had in his kitchen for 3 years-giving credit where due ). This is however the first Ultra-Panavision Supernova Core screen.
