About import image size
Pay attention to the following, depending on the signal format which you use.
SDTV (480i)
Images 720 × 487 pixels in size are exactly the size which fills the full screen. The following figure shows how an import image is processed when the 480i/ 59.94 format is used.
Images are placed with the upper left of the screen as the origin.
When an image is smaller than the screen, the remainder of the screen is filled with black. When it is larger, parts which extend beyond the screen are discarded.
