Resolution Gate Fit
Determines how the film gate is fitted within the resolution gate. This only has an effect when
the aspect of the film gate is not the same aspect as the output image.
NOTE: This setting corresponds to Maya’s Resolution Gate. The modes
Overscan, Horizontal, Vertical, and Fill correspond to Inside, Width, Height,
and Outside.
 Inside: The image source defined by the film gate is scaled uniformly until one of its
dimensions (X or Y) fits the inside dimensions of the resolution gate mask. Depending
on the relative dimensions of image source and mask background, either the image
source’s width or height may be cropped to fit the dimension of the mask.
 Width: The image source defined by the film gate is scaled uniformly until its width
(X) fits the width of the resolution gate mask. Depending on the relative dimensions
of image source and mask, the image source’s Y-dimension might not fit the mask’s
Y-dimension, resulting in either cropping of the image source in Y or the image source
not covering the mask’s height entirely.
 Height: The image source defined by the film gate is scaled uniformly until its height
(Y) fits the height of the resolution gate mask. Depending on the relative dimensions
of image source and mask, the image source’s X-dimension might not fit the mask’s
X-dimension, resulting in either cropping of the image source in X or the image source
not covering the mask’s width entirely.
 Outside: The image source defined by the film gate is scaled uniformly until one of its
dimensions (X or Y) fits the outside dimensions of the resolution gate mask. Depending
on the relative dimensions of image source and mask, either the image source’s width
or height may be cropped or not fit the dimension of the mask.
 Stretch: The image source defined by the film gate is stretched in X and Y to
accommodate the full dimensions of the generated resolution gate mask. This might
lead to visible distortions of the image source.
Control Visibility
This section allows you to selectively activate the onscreen controls that are displayed along
with the camera.
 Show View Controls: Displays or hides all camera onscreen controls in the viewers.
 Frustum: Displays the actual viewing cone of the camera.
 View Vector: Displays a white line inside the viewing cone, which can be used to
determine the shift when in Parallel mode.
 Near Clip: The Near clipping plane. This plane can be subdivided for better visibility.
 Far Clip: The Far clipping plane. This plane can be subdivided for better visibility.
 Focal Plane: The plane based on the Plane of Focus slider explained in the Controls
tab above. This plane can be subdivided for better visibility.
 Convergence Distance: The point of convergence when using Stereo mode. This plane
can be subdivided for better visibility.
