Aspect Ratio and Wall Menu Options

Description

 

Setting(s)

 

 

 

Scale Mode

Fill All makes the picture fit top-to-bottom and left-to-right regardless of how this stretches or compresses

 

the picture.

 

 

Letterbox/Pillarbox expands the picture until the first edges (top-bottom or left-right) touch the border of the

 

display, and then fills in the other sides with a solid color.

 

 

Crop expands the picture until the second edges touch the border and let the other edges of the picture fall

 

outside the display and get cropped.

 

 

Widescreen (16x9) forces the aspect ratio to 16 x 9 (1.77), the standard for many DVD movies. This will

 

distort any picture other than 16X9 aspect ratio pictures.

 

 

Normal Video (4x3) forces a 4 x 3 (1.33) aspect ratio, the ratio of standard television. Normal Video is used

 

to display YPbPr video on the analog input port.

 

 

One to One maintains the original size and aspect ratio of the picture. This may leave blank areas on all

 

four sides. For more information, see “Aspect Ratio and Scale Mode” on page 32.

 

 

 

 

Justify

Justify determines which portion of a cropped picture to be cropped. Center

 

Top/Left, Center,

 

crops equal portions from the top and bottom (or sides). Bottom/Right crops off

 

Bottom/Right

 

just the top (or left). Top/Left crops off just the bottom (or right).

 

 

 

For letterboxed pictures, Justify determines the position of the image on the

 

 

 

screen. Center centers the image, Bottom/Right puts it at the right of the

 

 

 

screen (or bottom). Top/Left puts it at the top of the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overscan

Zooms the image a small amount so that the outer edge is chopped off all

 

0% to +20%

 

around. Conventional television sets overscan anywhere from 5 to 20%. A tele-

 

Default 3% when image

 

vision picture shown with no overscan may have objectionable lines or other

 

is Composite, S-Video,

 

extraneous noise on the outer edges of the picture. By agreement among the

 

Component or YPbPr

 

broadcast industry, for standard definition television, no titles or text will be

 

0% for all others

 

chopped off with as much as 20% overscan. No important action will be

 

 

 

chopped off with as much as 10% overscan.
