Inputs considered to have 16:9 aspect ratio are as follows:
•
Computer Graphics signals with a 16:9 aspect ratio appearing on the DVI and Analog RGB
inputs
•
HDTV signals (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) appearing on the Component input
•
HDTV signals (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) appearing on the SDI input
•
HDTV signals (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) appearing on the HDMI input

Treatments Objectives
The aspect ratio treatments achieve different aspect ratio objectives, and therefore behave
differently depending on which input and output aspect ratios are currently selected.
The Aspect Ratio objectives are the following:
•
Standard
always displays the correct aspect ratio of the input picture; adds black bars at the
top and bottom or sides of the picture to achieve this objective.
•
Full Screen
always fills the screen with the complete picture; linearly distorts the picture to
achieve this objective.
•
Crop
always fills the screen with the correct aspect ratio of the input picture; crops the
picture's top and bottom or sides to achieve this objective.
•
Anamorphic
handles the specific case of 16:9 aspect ratio anamorphically encoded into a 4:3
aspect ratio signal (e.g. an NTSC DVD encoded with a 16:9 picture).
•
Flexview
handles the specific case of a 4:3 input aspect ratio and 16:9 output aspect ratio,
stetching the 4:3 input to the 16:9 output in a non-linear fashion.
•
Squeeze
compensates for signals that are incorrectly presented as 16:9. This often occurs in
cable TV situations, where a 4:3 aspect ratio signal is mistakenly stretched to 16:9.
•
Theater Scope
prepares presentations for use with an Anamorphic lens, which optically
stretches images in the horizontal direction. With such a lens, a 4:3 projector fills a 16:9
screen, and a 16:9 projector fills a 2.35 aspect ratio screen. Viewed without the lens, the
treatment appears distorted (stretched vertically).
