Aspect Ratio Overview
Modes for viewing high definition content (16:9) when output format is 480i or 480p Mode:
Set by program
The aspect ratio will be set to Letter Box.
Letter Box
Use for a picture with an original 16:9 aspect ratio (in a wide format). Letterbox mode will shrink the picture to fill
the screen, with black/gray (or blank) bars appearing at the top and bottom of the screen.
Cropped
Use for a picture filling the entire screen by cropping (removing) the left and right portions of the picture.
Squeezed
Use for a full picture filling the entire screen with no black/gray bars. The picture in a 16:9 format will be horizontally
adjusted or squeezed to fit the 4:3 ratio monitor. This setting can also be useful when used with 16:9 aspect ratio
monitors or with 4:3 aspect ratio monitors that have a “16:9 enhancement” feature.
Modes for viewing standard definition content (4:3) when output format is 720p or 1080i Mode:
Set by program
The aspect ratio will be set to Normal.
Normal
Use for a picture with an original 4:3 aspect ratio on your 16:9 monitor, with black/gray bars appearing at the left
and right sides.
Wide
Use for a picture adjusted horizontally (in a linear proportion) to fill the entire screen.
Horizon
Use to adjust a picture in a non-linear proportion (more at both sides) to create a spectacular view.
Zoom 1
The image will be altered vertically (cropped).
Zoom 2
More vertically stretch than Zoom 1.
