About import image size
Pay attention to the following, depending on the signal
format which you use.
SDTV (480i)
Images 720 × 487 pixels in size are exactly the size which
fills the full screen.
The following figure shows how an import image is
processed when the 480i/59.94 format is used.
Images are placed with the upper left of the screen as the
origin.
When an image is smaller than the screen, the remainder of
the screen is filled with black. When it is larger, parts
which extend beyond the screen are discarded.

processing is the same as for SDTV.
Since the pixel ratio of the HDTV format is 1:1, files
created on computers are imported in their original shapes.
The following table shows the image sizes which exactly
fill the full screen for the various signal formats.
