David, this somewhat relates to a question that occurred to me when touring your booth, which is, why do they not use an actual anamorphic to create a real scope image? I have my suspicions, but I don't know enough about how an anamorphic image is translated onto grain structure and then translated again into projected light. I'm assuming that since the chip has to have a grid pattern of essentially square elements, that the distortion of the projected image would distort the square/circle element into a sort of squoval, which would look ugly. Maybe you could explain this phenomenon. Regardless, I was disappointed to discover that scope has become the inferior format, because I have a nerdy passion for anamorphic optics.
