Yeah I've been saying all year that 1080p = 2K but apparently people still get confused by the horizontal/vertical way of describing them.

If you use a 2K scanner with a 82p/mm scanning beam pitch you get:

1.37 Academy 1250 x 1720
2.39 Scope 1440 x 1720
1.85 USA Widescreen 930 x 1720
1.85 S-35 1060 x 1960 (or 1040 x 1928 from some alternate aperture dimensions)
2.39 S-35 820 x 1960 (or 806 x 1928 from some alternate aperture dimensions specifications)

from the intended to be Projected Aperture image (The 2K scanner scans more than that as it scans the whole Camera Aperture)

The Academy, and the Scope's height have to be resized down to fit within the 1080p height of the 2K projectors 1080 x 2048 imager, Scope's width and 1.85 USA Widescreen should have to be resized up to fill it.

Remember that theater's Projector Apertures/lens/screen matting combinations usually crop a little bit of the image (kind of like TV overscan) and their aim should be to show the Projected Aperture specification dimensions.
