ANAMORPHIC mode
The Anamorphic aspect ratio expands the image in the
horizontal direction. The image is compressed vertically,
but with anamorphic software the image will appear
properly proportioned. This is best suited for use with
16:9 DVD’s and HDTV.
STANDARD 4:3 mode
The image is displayed at a standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
The input signal will be scaled to fit in the center of the
16:9 screen.
LETTERBOX mode
The image in the Letterbox mode will be zoomed in, and
the top and bottom portion ‘blanked off.’ This ratio is best
suited for LaserDisc movies or non-anamorphic DVD’s.
VIRTUALWIDE mode
The VirtualWide mode is an aspect ratio is designed to
fill the 16:9 screen with a 4:3 image. The center of the
picture is not stretched, and it gradually stretches on the
sides reaching the most extreme stretch at the far edges
of the picture (non-linear scaling). In addition, we apply
a very slight vertical stretch uniformly (no graduation)
which results in a very small amount of cropping of the
top and bottom of the image area. Thus a 4:3 image is
transformed into a 16:9 image with minimal distortion.
