Four ways to control Selection’s Position and Size
1. When controlling Mitto from the BrightEye Mac/PC application, the Position and Size can be
adjusted through the Selection Tool, which is part of the BrightEye Mac/PC application. See
“Selection Tool” on page 43 for more details.
2. A second way to control the Position and Size is through the Position and Size arrow buttons in
the Position Menu.
3. A third way is through the Left, Right, Top and Bottom controls in the Position Menu, located to
the right of the Screen Select window.
A fourth way to control the Position and Size is from the front panel of Mitto. With the Position or
Size control selected on the front panel, you can use the Left Arrow, Down Arrow, Right Arrow
and Up Arrow buttons.
The four directional arrow buttons move the selection one pixel at a time for each click. Pressing
and holding down a button will accelerate the movement of the Selection Tool. Notice that when
moving the Selection’s Position, the Selection remains the same size. Moving the Selection’s size,
however, will change the size and shape of the Selection. See “Front Panel Controls and Indicators”
on page 29 for more details.
Maintaining Aspect Ratio
The Aspect ratio control refers to the aspect ratio of the Screen Selection tool. Choices are 16:9, 4:3 and
Manual. Mitto will maintain the correct aspect ratio of the content automatically as you change the
size of your selected output area.
To adjust the size of the Selection, the upper left Position corner stays in the same position, but the
lower right corner of the selection moves with the Size control. With an aspect ration of 16:9 selected,
if you move the Size control to the right, it will make the Selection wider, and it will also make it taller
in order to maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio. If you use the Size control to raise the lower right corner, it
also pulls the right edge in to maintain the chosen aspect ratio. The aspect ratio of 4:3 works the same
way.
Note: If you do not want to maintain correct aspect ratio, you can choose the Anamorphic
setting in the Config Menu rather than the Normal setting.
Using Manual Aspect Ratio
By selecting a manual aspect ratio, you can increase the width independently of the height. This
option works well if your content is a column or a long box. It is possible to select an area that is much
wider than can be shown on a 16:9 high definition display; for example, a 1362 by 436 pixel selection.
When this is output, Mitto automatically letter boxes the content with a black region above and below
so that the aspect ratio of the content will be correct. Similarly, Mitto automatically pillar boxes the
content as needed with a black region on either side to maintain the correct aspect ratio for output
when the selection is taller than the output aspect ratio would normally allow.
