Convert your home theater to the full cinema 2.4:1 format with the Panamorph Paladin DCR + XM2 lens system for Sony and JVC 4K home theater projectors. Now you can switch between all content formats from cinema to TV at the push of a button. You can even watch TV content filling your cinema format screen.
