Abstract

See full text

A rolling loop motion picture projector is convertible for projecting images either from a 2-D film strip or from a 3-D film strip. The film is advanced through the same incremental amount irrespective of whether a 2-D film of a 3-D film is being projected. The projector has a single central aperture for projecting 2-D images and respective 3-D images on opposite sides of the central aperture. The images on the 3-D film strip are anamorphically compressed in the direction of film travel by a factor of two and the 3-D apertures are correspondingly sized. Projection lenses associated with the 3-D apertures decompress the images so that images of comparable size appear on the screen irrespective of whether a 2-D film or a 3-D film is being shown.
