Bring the Cinema Home with the STE-J1 Cinema Format Lens

Take your home theater to the next level with the STE-J1 Direct Attach Cinema Format Conversion Lens. Designed to provide stunning 2.4:1 aspect ratio projection, this lens system ensures a true cinema experience by converting your projector's image for a full widescreen format, whether mounted on the ceiling or a shelf.

Key Features:

  • Cinema Format Conversion: Perfectly converts your projector’s image to a 2.4:1 aspect ratio for the ultimate widescreen experience.
  • Ceiling or Shelf Mounting: Easily install with prongs placed closer to the ceiling for an upright Panamorph logo after installation.
  • Geometric Distortion Control: Reduces pincushion-shaped curvature at the image edges, especially at increased projection distances, providing clearer image quality.
  • Chromatic Adjustment: Slight RGB splitting may be visible at the image edges; this can be minimized through the projector’s Pixel Adjust feature.
  • Maintenance: Clean with compressed air for best long-term performance. Professional lens cleaning supplies are recommended for buildup. Disassembly for cleaning is possible but not covered by the warranty.
  • 24-Month Warranty: Panamorph offers a 24-month warranty for performance or functionality issues (excluding misuse or environmental factors).

Installation Steps:

  1. Install the Lens Retainer: Center the projector lens, and install the retainer in the lens opening. Ensure the prongs are closest to the ceiling and engage the locking tab to secure it in place.
  2. Prepare the Projector: Align the projector so the test pattern lines are square to the screen edges. Set the projector’s anamorphic menu to display a 2.4:1 movie and adjust the zoom and vertical lens shift to fit the screen.
  3. Install the STE Lens: Remove the rear lens cover and install the STE lens/mount assembly over the retainer prongs. Rotate it so the movie edges align, then secure the lens with the assembly screws.
  4. Adjustments: Tilt the lens to correct any curvature and fine-tune the projector’s zoom and vertical lens shift. Tighten the tilt lock screw (do not over-tighten). You may also adjust pixel alignment using the projector’s settings.
  5. For 16:9 Content: Use “Anamorphic D” or “Anamorphic C” modes to fill the cinema screen with 16:9 content. Note that some menu switching may be necessary since menus are created in 16:9 format.
