2:1 lens Anamorphic (ANA) recording modes for 2K, 3K, 4K = 2764x2304?

[S Pincus]

I'm a newbie here, possibly shooting with a rented RED and anamorphic lenses in a few months.

Can anyone enlighten me on the "2:1 lens Anamorphic (ANA) recording modes for 2K, 3K, 4K" feature added in Build 15 in the Features by Build stickie?

Does the EVF viewfinder display an 2764x2304 image with proper guides? I understand there's no de-squeeze option available.

Many thanks in advance!

I believe it does generate the framelines for ANA, just that it is squarish with a 2X optical squeezed image (thanks to your anamorphic lens).

With some HD LCD's designed to stretch 4x3 to 16x9 (removing a 1.33X squeeze) I wonder if you can at least get a partial desqueeze on the set monitors, enough to not annoy the director...

Transvideo make a de-squeezer for around 790 euros plus Carrion, I believe, make a monitor with ana desquish capability.
