Basic Information on Aspect Ratios
Your television screen has a certain physical
width and height which is technically referred to
as “aspect ratio”.
There are currently two variations for television
aspect ratios. These are 4:3 and 16:9.
Televisions with a 4:3 aspect ratio were primarily
designed for analog television where most
programs were broadcast in a 4:3 screen format.
With the introduction of DVDs and digital
terrestrial TV, the aspect ratio changed to meet
the requirements for a wider viewing format. This
wider viewing format typically increased the
size of picture that could be displayed in a video
frame. The offi cial widescreen format for digital
TV was therefore set as 16:9 which covered both
Standard and High Defi nition broadcasts.
The following diagrams illustrate the variations
that are possible from digital TV broadcasts using
both 4:3 and 16:9 screen formats. The DVR-810
allows for the choice of aspect ratios regardless
of the screen format.
