4K DCI and 2K DCI (1.90:1)


Recommended Posts

2.39:1 scope is the same width as DCI 2k of 4K. So if your framing for 2.39:1 you'd typically shoot in a 1.89:1 mode. The extra room at the top and bottom of the recorded frame is useful for reframing, hiding tracking markers, spotting the boom and giving you flexibility to make a pan and scan 16:9

It's rare to make a 1.89:1 deliverable, but it's a good ratio to shoot in when you crop to other aspect ratios. The point of 1.89:1 is that its in between 2.39:1 and 1.85:1. It cinema cameras for instance had a 2.39:1 shaped sensor, you'd need a massive crop to get to 16:9.

Digital cinema projectors have the same shape 1.89:1 sensors - so crop at either the sides or the top and bottom for different aspect ratios
