Fixed Aspect: Crop
When “Fixed Aspect: Crop” is selected, the aspect ratio of the input
video is maintained, and the images are sized to fit within the screen
(refer to figure below). However, if the aspect ratio of the input
video differs from the output aspect ratio, a portion of the video
image is cropped, and the cropped portion is not displayed.
Manual
In cases where you are unable to achieve the optimal aspect ratio
using either “Full Scale,” “Fixed Aspect: Letter,” or “Fixed Aspect:
Crop,” use “Manual” in “5. Scaling Type” to adjust the aspect ratio
manually. After selecting “Manual” with the procedure described on
p. 28, press the MENU button and adjust the horizontal and vertical
dimensions with “6. Manual X Scale” and “7. Manual Y Scale” and
adjust the position with the “8. X Position” and “9. Y Position”
settings.
Although the SD input is in a fixed format, there may be differences
in the type of device used or physical differences, and it may be
necessary to set each input individually.
Make the SD video settings in the menu with “7. SD Input.” In “7. SD
Input,” you can select from the SD Channel 1–4, and make settings
the parameters listed below.

button and press any of the SD IN buttons 1–4.

Inputting Analog Component SD Video
To input SD video to the V-440HD as analog component video,
input to the HD/RGB IN BNC connectors. In this case, the input
SD video is handled in the HD/RGB section.
With analog component input, no interlace to progressive
conversion is performed. We recommend that a progressive
signal (480p/576p) be employed for the SD video input.
