match the current region setting of the player.
Screen Masking
Movie players send control messages with aspect ratio and screen masking
information to the control system every time a movie plays.
Control systems use this information to position screen masks, engage
special projection lenses, and adjust the aspect ratio mode of the display
device. The player can be configured to ensure that masks do not cover any
part of the onscreen display or subtitles (for DVDs).
Note: If screen masking does not adjust for a movie, the movie might not be
recognized by the Kaleidescape Movie Guide. Use the Kaleidescape loan
process to send the disc for processing. For more information go to
www.kaleidescape.com/loan.
The Kaleidescape Movie Guide includes aspect ratio information for most
movies. This information can be used by a control system to automate
screen masking and anamorphic lens movement, to optimize the
presentation of each movie. A small percentage of movies, including the Blu-
ray release of The Dark Knight, has more than one aspect ratio within the
feature. For these movies, the Movie Guide indicates a single aspect ratio so
that none of the active image is cropped or projected into the masks. This
method results in unmasked black bars during some of the movie, but
avoids distracting lens or mask movement during the movie.
• M-Class players feature only a 16:9 user interface.
• Most home theaters with masking have constant image height
masking.
