Scalable Content and Aspect Ratio of Your Display
The IS-SPX Player natively supports the SVG graphic language. This language is scalable: that means that the graphics
are rendered on the fly according to the resolution supported by the display. This guarantees a perfect rendering for texts
and graphics, regardless of the resolution of the display. (Note that the scalable property does not apply on images or
video content encoded with other formats and included in a SVG document.)
When authoring scalable content, the user should pay attention to the aspect ratio (the ratio between the horizontal and
vertical size) of the display. To avoid aspect ratio distortions or black borders, the user should author the content with the
same aspect ratio as the target display.
Digital displays may offer different aspect ratios: the most common are 4:3 and 16:9. The first are those typically seen in
computer monitors: the ratio between the width and height is in 4:3 proportions. The second is common in recent TV sets
where the horizontal size is almost the double of the vertical one (landscape).
To simplify the authoring with the right aspect ratio, XPress comes with two sets of templates: one created for 4:3 aspect
ratios and one for 16:9. We have also created intermediate aspect ratios such as 16:10 which are less common. When
possible choose the aspect ratio corresponding to your displays.
