A blow-up from a non-anamorphic negative

Hi.

Would you please help me in understating the "and even then, that was a blow-up from a non-anamorphic negative." in following paragraph ?

"There was no single instance of combining Cinemascope with 3-D until 1960, with a film called September Storm, and even then, that was a blow-up from a non-anamorphic negative.September Storm also went out with the last dual-strip short, Space Attack, which was actually shot in 1954 under the title The Adventures of Sam Space"

And also what does "went out" mean ?

Regards.

"a blow-up" means that the film was made bigger than it had been shot originally. "even then" is normally used to diminish the importance of what follows (in this case, it refers to the fact that the film was just a blow-up (from a non-anamorphic negative) rather than a true Cinemascope-3D combination). "went out" means "was broadcast/shown".
