[Tig] European aspect ratio 1.66:1

[Ray's old]

My read of the DCI document made me feel that they covered the aspect issue
by stating that the image should fill the available area in one direction,
and be centered in the aperture in the other (non filling) direction.

Maybe I read too much into the spec?

Gianni,
I agree with both Marc and you. The question is whether DCI will include
such a format as part of their standard. Currently they seem to assume none
is needed.

I guess it could be called a subset of 1.85:1 if it is regarded as 1.85:1
"curtained"/ "blanked" left & right.

cheers

Peter
