Constant Image Height vs. Constant Image Width vs. Constant Image Area Projection

Constant Image Height (CIH): A wide aspect ratio (2.35:1 to 2.4:1) CinemaScope screen is used to project a full 21:9 image. Standard 16:9 content fills the height of the screen, but not its sides, and CinemaScope content fills both the screen width and height. Either CinemaScope content is zoomed by the projector to fill the full scope screen space, or 16:9 content is shrunk by a video processor until it fits the screen height. Two-way screen masking is often moved into position for 16:9 videos to cover the blank left and right portions of the screen.

Constant Image Width (CIW): A standard 16:9 screen is used to project both 16:9 and 21:9 CinemaScope content. The width of the image remains the same, but the height is altered with CinemaScope content, which is cropped in height and framed by black bars. Two-way screen masking is used to cover the top and bottom of CinemaScope videos to hide the black bars.

Constant Image Area (CIA): A non-standard screen size, typically 2.05:1 or wider, is used to project images of different sizes. Standard 16:9 content is zoomed to a size larger than a widescreen CinemaScope screen, but smaller than a regular 16:9 screen. CinemaScope 21:9 content is zoomed to a wider aspect ratio than a regular 16:9 screen, but slightly less wide than a 2.35:1 - 2.40:1 native CinemaScope screen. The center of the screen is filled with an image of similar size, but both the width and height change with each aspect ratio change. Four-way screen masking is used to hide the top, bottom, left and right borders of the image for all aspect ratios.

Anamorphic Lens: Replaces the zoom method of filling a CinemaScope aspect ratio by using a combination of a specialized anamorphic lens and a vertical or horizontal stretch function. CinemaScope content is stretched vertically (and sometimes horizontally) by the projector or a video processor to fill the height of a CinemaScope screen and an anamorphic lens pulls the image horizontally until it fills the screen width. So this set up is essentially the same visually as a Constant Image Height set up with the anamorphic lens typically being moved aside when 16:9 videos are played.

Each projection type relies on a different screen size to display all aspect ratios:

If you look at the comparison of screen sizes above, the height of the image is the same across each aspect ratio (:1), which reflects the same aspect ratios used by most common video sources, but the width differs. So choosing any of these aspect ratios as the default screen ratio involves trade-offs in both width and height when sources with different aspect ratios are rescaled for a projector screen that is wider or narrower than the source aspect ratio.

Pros and Cons of Each Projection Method

Constant Image Height (CIH): Creates the largest projected image for 21:9 CinemaScope content, but projects a smaller 16:9 image compared to a 16:9 screen.

Screen area is maximized when a widescreen CinemaScope movie is played:

Constant Image Width (CIW): Presents the largest projected image for 16:9 content, but loses size compared to a CinemaScope screen when projecting 21:9 content. Does not require a projector zoom lens or lens memories to resize CinemaScope videos to a larger size.

Widescreen CinemaScope movies are presented with horizontal black bars:

Constant Image Area (CIA): Loses to both CIH and CIW when playing either 21:9 or 16:9 content. However, 16:9 movies are larger than when projected on CinemaScope screens and 21:9 content is larger than when projected on a 16:9 screen. So CIA provides the best balance for all formats. Considerable hassle can be involved in finding compatible zoom lenses and moving four-way masking in place for all aspect ratios.

Anamorphic Lens: Has the same pros and cons as CIH, but comes with some additional benefits. Unused panel space previously occupied by black bars is replaced by the addition of new pixels used by the vertical or horizontal stretch and a moderately brighter image is projected because the projector's entire light output is directed onto a smaller screen area. The cons include the high expense of the necessary anamorphic lens and some potential distortion of the image due to the effect of the anamorphic scaling.

I had an htcp with an onkyo av and when I pause a video with dd or dts audio when I restart the video, the audio start after 2 seconds because my av need to switch to dd source from stereo mode. This happens on any pause or forwarding and rewind the video with the arrow keys.
With dvdplayer and the option keep audio device alive always I don't have any issue.

I followed warner360 how-to.

Sorry for my bad English.

Are you using ReClock? It has a built-in sound pre-buffer that leads to pauses like the one mentioned. This pre-buffer can be adjusted.

Try using a different audio renderer to determine if the problem is still present.

So only Xander Log has an outstanding issue at this point?

have you the possibility to test the Isengard build that i've made for djoole? i made some changes that i think that should be useful, but i don't want to break the stability that we reached with the latest build

I'll likely test the build posted tomorrow.

I don't know if you care about Wi-Fi remotes being used with DSPlayer. But, to test the crash experienced by djoole, you could download the Official Kodi remote. He claims stopping videos with Wi-Fi commands causes the player to crash.

Not sure if it can be reproduced with Official Kodi Remote. I've been experiencing the problem with iRule, and the json request used is based on Frofo Json API. Maybe something evolved in Helix, because i never had a problem with Gotham.

To be accurate, the offending request is :

Code:
jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.Stop","params":{"playerid":1},"id":1}

@djoole

can you test pls this build http://www.mediafire.com/download/4c5c95...ngard2.rar , obviously without your workaround to avoid the crash/glitches

@Warner306

can you test this latest isengard build with your "more problematic" system Smile

, i would include this fix for isengard beta 2 if everything work as he should

@Shogunreaper

everythings seems good with your debug log, i don't know if you're experiencing something wrong with dsplayer, it take a bit more time than dvdplayer at playbackstop but it's not a drammatic thing, then you're using evr as videorenderer that should be even faster than with madvr, you should try to use the media rules instead direct show mertis to have the best performance with dsplayer

@Xander Log

your madvr freeze report don't catch the kodi thread, i don't know why, you should place the related pdb file in the directory where there is Kodi.exe renaming it in Kodi.pdb

anyway, you can start reporting your full debug log related to this crash, try to see also if there are the callstack tree and minidump in %appdata%/kodi

djoole · 2015-05-09, 00:34

I see nothing special in your logs, you launche a video, and 2 seconds after, you stop it :
18:08:32 T:4712 DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 2 Down

@aracnoz @Warner306 : Kodi crash is indeed reproductible with the stop function of Official Kodi Remote!

No more crash with Json stop with this build!
But the position is set to 0. When you launch again the video, it's starting from beginning.

When you stop with X key, position is correctly saved.

What does setting them up change?

My directshow already uses lav filters

well i stopped it because i didn't want there to be anything unnecessary in the log. But it doesn't matter how short or long it plays it happens regardless.

I downloaded the PDF file from the link on the first post:

I downloaded the file, extraxted .PDB from the RAR and copied it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi What can be wrong?

I've just test again and it's breaking bad, Kodi has just get blank when just open a video. I mean: enter Kodi, go to movies, open a movie and.. ta-daah!, blank screen. I attach kodi's log:

I suppose the important parte is the last one, when try to open the file:

Regarding to callstack tree and minidump, I'm not sure what you mean, are those the generated files like thoses:

-xbmc_stacktrace-14.2 Git_20150423-4cab2be-20150501-025133.txt
-xbmc_crashlog-14.2 Git_20150423-4cab2be-20150428-093123

I have move all the ones I have to other folder, it I get new ones I will relate them to an specific error and post them.

I've to say that problems seems to come easily if I shut down TV when playback, but not neccesarily, I've had problems also with TV on.

I'm sorry but could you say again what your problem is? Because logs only tell that you start a video and you stop it 2 sec later (with a xbox pad).

djoole · 2015-05-09, 12:50

@aracnoz, could you please subscribe to this PR : https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/7095
And would make a new build of DSPLayer when this commit is merged?
I'm a big (well kid is) user of movie sets, and this regression is a PITA since i upgraded to Helix..
TIA

@djoole

i will merge this and other commits when the official isengard beta2 come out (it should be out today)

in the mean time can you pls test this latest build, it should solve definitely the problems on stop

http://www.mediafire.com/download/zwmk1w...ngard3.rar

@Xander Log

reading you debug log seems that there is some problem when madvr try to enter in fullscreen exclusive mode... it's very important to have a properly generated madvr freeze report in your case, you should have the Kodi.exe and Kodi.pdb in the same folder with this exactly name, and start Kodi.exe when the file Kodi.pdb it's already copied and renamed in the kodi installation folder

you could try to disable madvr full screen exclusive mode, just to be sure if it's this the problem... then i suggest you to start to upgrade to Isengard Dsplayer because i'm working only on this release now

Isengard dsplayer beta2 should be out very soon

I tested this build. I wasn't able to produce any crashes. However, the play start/stop behavior is quite sluggish compared to before. Is there any way to reduce the pause on stop? Setting this to 0 seconds still produces a long delay.

Also, I am wondering if anything was done to the code that would alter lip-sync? I didn't test enough to be certain, but it seemed like audio/video sync was slightly different than before. This could be all in my head. I'd have to watch some more content.

I would be okay with the newest build, but the performance of the player seemed more sluggish overall.
