About Anamorphic 16:9 Media
The term anamorphic refers to a distorted image that appears normal when viewed
with an appropriate lens. When shooting film or video, an anamorphic lens can be used
to squeeze a wide image onto a standard 4:3 aspect ratio frame. During projection or
playback, the image must be “unsqueezed,” stretching the image back to its original
aspect ratio.
