2:35:1 image area
How it works:
Video processor anamorphically “squeezes” the 2.35:1 image to fill a 16:9 or
4:3 display device image area. This allows all pixels to be used.

Anamorphic lens then “stretches” the image back to 2.35:1. Correct geometry is restored,
while 100% of the pixels are now used to maintain full resolution.
