Scope screen support with digital zoom & Black Bar Detection.

To support Constant Image Height (CIH) on scope 2.35:1 and 2.40:1 screens, please add black bar detection with digital scaling.On a 2.35:1 screen would need the following actions to support CIH 1. Have 2.35:1 content fill a 2.35 screen with no black bars 2. Detect Variable Aspect Ratio (VAR) content (movies that alternate between 2.35:1 and 16:9) and display according to users preset preferences:- “Maintain Height” , which would auto scale the 16:9 image within the 2.35 screen. - “Maintain Width” which would auto crop the top and bottom of the 16:9 image so that the image fills the width of the 2.35 screen.- “Partial Crop”, which would be a user selected percentage that partially crops the top and bottom of the 16:9 image - leaving black bars at the side 3. Have 16:9 content digitally scaled to display within a 2.35:1 window with black bars on the side. However, to support “open matte” and “scope safe Imax movies” still provide the same ability as VAR content- “Maintain Height” , which would auto scale the 16:9 image within the 2.35 screen. - “Maintain Width” which would auto crop the top and bottom of the 16:9 image so that the image fills the width of the 2.35 screen.- “Partial Crop”, which would be a user selected percentage that partially crops the top and bottom of the 16:9 image - leaving black bars at the side *** I’ve written 16:9, but the methodology can be applied to any aspect ratio less than 2.35 … 2.20:1, 2.0:1, 1.90, 1.85, 1.78… etc. ***A good reference for this can be viewed here https://videofileblog.com/2022/08/31/constant-image-height-b… *** Also, this is in addition to the already announced optical zoom preset support.

For a constant image height user, being able to automatically switch to 16:9, 2.0, 3:4 automatically would be so great

Some additional context for supporting non-⁠16:9 aspect ratios and black bar detection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwVMGNzzT94

Great video. Thank you for trying to help and educate.

The current state of constant image height (CIH) users is that saving a custom lens memory per aspect ratio is the solution, but anyone who has actually tried that, knows it's still a pain point. I think since the Titan Noir line of projectors is doing image processing on device, you could add what I would call "Full Constant Image Height" support, and have a standout feature no other projector has. As part of lens memory, if the end user could enable CIH mode and define the aspect ratio the lens memory is being set for (2.4:1 as an example) and then the projector processes the incoming video data, detecting black bars, and automatically fitting all video input to the height defined, this would be an extremely elegant solution to a problem that plagues us poor CIH users. ;) If CIH mode is disabled, no video processing would occur and it would have no negative impact on users not utilizing CIH.

This is a really well written description and would be incredible for those of us with scope screens! Being able to avoid lens memory would be great option to have, provided the scaling doesn’t introduce any artifacts or lag.

This seems the same as another another request (which came after this one, but has a more thorough description) https://xgimi.userjot.com/board/p/scope-screen-support-with-…

Agree, the other request you’ve linked describes it really well. @Xgimi can you combine these requests?
