Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between

menu (cont)

Wide, Zoom, and 1:1 modes. PC input: sets resolution aspect

 

ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, and 1:1.

 

Wide mode stretches a standard

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

broadcast or full-frame image to fill

 

 

 

 

the entire screen. Widescreen

 

 

 

 

(1.76:1) images fill the entire screen

 

 

 

 

without distortion, while

 

 

 

 

widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

images appear without distortion but with black bars at the

 

top and bottom. PC input: Stretches the image to fit the entire

 

screen.

 

Zoom mode crops off a portion of a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

widescreen image in order to fill the

 

 

 

 

entire screen with a distortion-free

 

 

 

 

and black bar-free image. PC input:

 

 

 

 

Zooms the image to fill the screen

 

 

 

 

from top to bottom with black bars

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on the left and right sides of the image.

 

1:1 mode preserves the movie’s original

 

 

 

 

 

 

aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast or

 

 

 

full-frame movie appears with black bars

 

 

 

on the left and right of the image.

 

 

 

PC input: Preserves the original aspect

 

 

 

ratio of the resolution by using black bars

 

 

 

 

 

 

on the left and right sides and variable sizes of black bars on

 

the top and bottom of the image (depends on resolution).

 

Noise Reduction—Uses noise reduction filters that adapt to

 

the amount of noise and motion from the video source.

 

Cross Color Reduction—Reduces cross-color artifacts, such as

 

unintentional flashing colors or rainbow patterns, that result

 

from composite video signals.

 

Overscan—A video signal is often displayed slightly cut off at

 

all edges. If Overscan is turned off, you may notice strange

 

video anomalies on the edges of the video being displayed.

 

This is normal and is part of the data embedded in any video

 

signal. To avoid seeing these anomalies, turn Overscan on.
