Horizontal Format
Figure 26. Horizontal Format
The Horizontal Format has the following controls.
Square Pixels
Use the Square Pixels setting for normal 4:3 video (Figure 26) that is viewed
via a computer monitor. This setting results in a square aspect ratio sampling
of the source video and a source image of 640 x 480 for 525-line standards and
768 x 576 for 625-line standards.
CCIR-601
Use the CCIR-601 setting for 4:3 video that is viewed on a dedicated video
monitor. This setting results in a CCIR-601 aspect ratio sampling of the source
video. It results in a video input horizontal size of 720 pixels for both 525-line
and 625-line standards. This sizing is standard for dedicated monitors but the
resulting video appears horizontally stretched (525-line) or squeezed (625-line)
on a computer monitor.
It is more efficient to set the horizontal mode to match the size of the output.
For example, if your target video size is 640 x 480, using Square Pixel sizing in
PostProcessing Mode will avoid an unnecessary software scaling step in the
driver.
On some systems, for reasons external to this driver, 640 x 480 video renders
on screen a lot faster than 720 x 480 video – that is, the speed difference is a
lot more than the 9:8 ratio of numbers of pixels.
