Unstretch the output video
Unstretch the output video
By default, the VGADVI Recorder Pro makes sure that the aspect ratio of input signals is preserved when the
output is streamed. If this default was overridden or if the channel was created in a version of the software
earlier than 3.11.0, the image is stretched to match the output frame size. The effect may be subtle and may
not be problematic for you, but if you want to resolve this it is very simple to do.
To preserve the source aspect ratio:
1. Connect to the Admin panel using your preferred connection mechanism. See
.
2. Login as admin.
3. From the Admin panel, click
Encoding
; the encoding page opens.
4. Click
Sources
; the Sources page opens.
5. Click the row for the layout you want to edit; the layout editor opens.
6. Select the gear icon for your source from the list of layout items; the
Source settings
box appears.
7. From the
Source settings
box, make sure
Keep aspect ratio when scaling
is selected.
8. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click
Save
.
Unstretching the image causes a matte (black bars) to appear on the sides or top and bottom of
the output. To remove these see
Remove black bars (matte) from the video
Video not centered (VGA sources only)
The image from the source is displayed too high or low, or too far to the left or right.
