Aspect Ratio Control

The iScan Ultra has a new Aspect Ratio
Control feature that can be used
whenever you are displaying 4:3 images
on a 16:9 TV. This includes standard
4:3 full-screen or letterboxed images
being played on a wide-screen TV.
The Aspect Ratio Control feature scales
4:3 images to fill as much of the 16:9 dis-
play area as possible. For 4:3 full-screen
images, activating the Aspect Ratio fea-
ture on the front panel will display the
correct aspect ratio in the middle of the
screen and add black or gray bars on the
sides (curtains) to maintain the aspect
ratio. Gray bar settings are recommended
for plasma or CRT-based displays.
When you activate the Aspect Ratio
feature, the center alphanumeric display
will turn on to allow you to choose one
of six options:
1) FF (Full Frame): No aspect ratio
conversion is performed. This setting
is appropriate when the input and
display aspect ratios are the same.
2) LBX (Letterbox): This setting is to be
used when the source is 4:3 letter-
boxed and the display is 16:9. It
vertically increases the image size by
a ratio of 4/3.
3) SQ0 (Squeeze0): This is to be used
when the source is 4:3 full-frame and
the display is 16:9. It horizontally
decreases the image size by a ratio of
3/4 and centers the resulting image
horizontally with black bars on
either side of the image.
