Projector support? I have a projector and it would take any thing hdmi

I meant CIH anamorphic lens support, 21x9 flag, subtitle shift, etc. Not for projectors that just display the same image you’d see on a TV on a different medium. Basically there’s an internal anamorphic scaler option in the Oppo so you don’t have to buy a Lumagen Radiance (which goes for a few grand), and there’s also lots of niceties so you can do things that the Lumagen or fancy projector could never do, like subtitle shifting.

EDIT: If you read that whole linked CIH article, there’s a head-scratcher in there regarding what to do about The Dark Knight. The problem is that the disc isn’t authored correctly, or at least not authored correctly for CIH, making you choose between a movie that changes height or cropping the film, both of which are undesirable IMO. The author suggests the crop method, but that makes me wince. The proper thing would be to rip and re-encode the movie properly for CIH, so that the height of all aspect ratios are the same. That’s the way other multi-aspect ratio films have been done (i.e. Brainstorm) and it works well.
