DISPLAY FORMAT

Your DPTV is able to deliver

the lifelike, widescreen picture

(or “home cinema” viewing

experience) that is promised with

High Definition TV programming.

The Display Format control can be used to expand conventional

4:3 aspect ratio (width-to-height)

broadcasts in order to fit your DPTV’s widescreen 16:9 format;

or to reset the screen to best

match the current programming.

SMART HELP

Note: In the past the

relationship between a TV

screen’s width to height, or aspect

ratio, has historically been 33%

wider than the picture screen

height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The

widescreen format of your DPTV

screen is nearly 80% greater than

its measure height (which

accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio).

The reason for the 16:9 aspect

ratio screen is that it allows for the

dramatic and lifelike viewing of

original version movies and

cinemas (similar to the type found

in your local theaters). And the

16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is

also a good visual match for how

our eyes work in a horizontally

oriented field of view and action

plane.

Panoramic - Conventional picture
is expanded to fill the full 16:9	4:3 (Standard)

the non-linear picture expansion is
performed toward the outer edges
so that correct proportions are
retained in the center of the screen.
4:3 (Standard) - Conventional TV
picture format shows on the
screen. Black bar areas show on
the side margins of the screen.
16:9 (Expand) - Full widescreen
mode with linear expansion to	Building Trade News
view HDTV program broadcasts.
Used for material originally	16:9 (Expand)
produced in 16:9 format.

Theater 1/2 - Expanded zoom modes with picture images increased in magnification. Designed for use with “letterbox” or cropped movie images such as found with Cinemascope or Cinerama type program material. Note: With the Theater modes there can be some loss of information at the edges as the picture expands to fill the screen.
