Inspired Signage XPress Programming
It may happen that the same content will be displayed on monitors with different aspect ratios. In this case the following will happen:
If you use 16:9 templates, the content will be displayed using black borders on the top and bottom when shown on a 4:3 screen.

If you use 4:3 templates, the content will be displayed using black borders on the left and right when shown on a 16:9 screen.

If you use “fit” templates, the content will be scaled to fit the whole screen, regardless of its aspect ratio. This will introduce distortions that may be noticed according to the nature of the content.
Example of content with a real aspect ratio of 16:9 when fitted to a 4:3 display:
