Aspect Ratio & Wall
Wall Width and Height determine the dimensions
of the Big Picture wall, which is not necessarily
the same as the physical wall (it could be
smaller). The upper limit is 32 cubes in each
dimension. However, this does not mean you can
safely stack Margays 32 cubes high!
Unit Column and Row designate where this
cube is in the defined wall, which is not neces-
sarily the same position as in the physical wall.
The Column can never be larger than the Width,
and the Row can never be larger than the
Height.
When the aspect ratio of the source picture and the aspect
ratio of the cube (or the whole wall when in Wall Mode)
do not match,
Scale Mode and Justify are used to fit
the picture onto the cube (or wall).
Scale Mode is Fill All, Crop, Letterbox/Pillarbox, Wide-
screen, Normal Video or One to One.
Fill Al l stretches the picture as necessary on one axis to fill
the screen. All of the picture is shown.
Crop fills the screen by zooming until the second edges
touch the screen edges and crops the rest. Some of the
picture will be cut off.
Letterbox/Pillarbox fills the screen by zooming until the
first edges touch the screen edges (sides or top-bottom)
and leaves the rest of the screen filled with the Curtain
color. All of the picture is shown.
Widescreen (16x9) forces a 1.77 aspect ratio to display
compressed DVDs correctly. All of the picture is shown.
Normal Video (4x3) may be the best choice for standard
video sources, such as PAL and NTSC.
One to One puts the original picture up pixel for pixel. Its
shape and size will depend entirely on the source. VGA
sources will be small.
Justify moves the picture to the top, middle or bottom, or
to the left, center or right. This has no function when the
Scale Mode is Fill All.
When Wall Mode is checked (on), each cube
shows only its segment of the whole picture.
When Wall Mode is unchecked (off), the cube
shows the entire picture.
