- Page 34 Understanding the Control Panel 14:9 The fixed 14:9 mode is often used as a compromise between Center Cut and Letterbox in down conversions and between Zoom and Pillarbox in up conversions. The 14:9 mode scales the input image to occupy a 14:9 ratio area of the output display. If a 4:3 input aspect ratio is to be up converted to a 16:9 display, the input image will be zoomed to fill only a 14:9 aspect ratio of the 16:9 output image, leaving a display with small bars on the left and right sides (pillarboxed).
