Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio controls vary the relative image width and height. They can be used to accommodate various input signal aspect ratios as well as output device aspect ratios.

Tomarama mode zooms in on the center of the image and crops the image vertically and horizontally so that the black bars above and below the image are removed. In this mode, some image is also lost on the right and left hand edges.

In the following four examples, four different input aspect ratios are shown on the left as they would be displayed in their native 4:3 format. The same signals are shown on the right as they would appear on 4:3 and 16:9 display devices with the scaler set to various aspect ratios.
