Aspect Ratio - JVC HR-1080-PRO User Manual

MKT-0027-UMN-1.002F
Inputs considered to have 16:9 aspect ratio are:
• Computer Graphics signals with a 16:9 aspect ratio appearing on the DVI and Analog
RGB inputs
• HDTV signals (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) appearing on the Component input
• HDTV signals (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) appearing on the SDI input
• HDTV signals (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) appearing on the HDMI input
The five aspect ratio treatments, Standard, Full Screen, Crop, Anamorphic, and Flexview are
intended to achieve different aspect ratio objectives, and therefore behave differently depending
on which input and output aspect ratios are currently selected. The Aspect Ratio objectives are
the following:
• Standard: always displays the correct aspect ratio of the input picture; adds black bars at
the top and bottom or sides of the picture to achieve this objective
• Full Screen: always fills the screen with the complete picture; linearly distorts the picture
to achieve this objective
• Crop: always fills the screen with the correct aspect ratio of the input picture; crops the
picture's top and bottom or sides to achieve this objective
• Anamorphic: intended to handle the specific case of 16:9 aspect ratio anamorphically
encoded into a 4:3 aspect ratio signal (e. g. an NTSC DVD encoded with a 16:9 picture
• Flexview: intended to handle the specific case of a 4:3 input aspect ratio and 16:9 output

aspect ratio

Table 5 to Table 8 present the five aspect ratio treatments over the four different combinations
of Input Aspect Ratio and Output Aspect Ratio.
