Hi, I have a basic cinema set-up in our converted attic and because we have a much wider room compared to its height (due to the sloping ceiling) I use a home made cinema scope screen. I currently have my Optoma projector zoomed so that it is set to 2:39:1 (with black bars top and bottom overhanging the screen masked by black felt) which works fairly well and when I play 16:9 content, I go through the projector menu and use the digital zoom to reduce the size of the image, roughly fitting the screen obviously at a reduced size. My question is, in order to have a similar one button push to change aspect ratio, can I use a video processor (I’ve seen a Lumagen XS-3D Video processor for sale) and will it be as good as if not better than my current zooming image smaller.
I read that using a scaler in this way reduces the resolution of the 16:9 aspect but I don’t really understand why?
Thanks
