For "scope", the projectable area is 0.825 x 0.690 inches. When filing an aperture, the image area is evaluated using the SMPTE 35-PA (RP40) projector alignment film. here SMPTE Standards here SMPTE Test Materials here Evans Criswell's Website here THX Guidelines here Caring About Composition ------------------ John P.
