Widescreen Letterbox 

preserves the 

16:9 aspect ratio. If you have a 16:9 source and screen, the image fills the screen (Figure 31). If 
you have a 16:9 source and a 4:3 screen, the image is placed in a 4:3 space, so black bars 
appear at the top and bottom of the image. 

 
NOTE:

 A source that says “Widescreen” usually means the same as “Widescreen Letterbox”. 

 Letterbox image input             16:9 image fills 16:9 screen

have a 4:3 source and screen, the image fills the screen. If you have a 4:3 source on a 16:9 
screen, the image is placed in a 16:9 space, so black bars appear at the sides of the image.
