VIDEO SCALING
Preset Video Positioning
50 Operation Edition 1.08 CXPS Manual
before filling the screen is cropped as scaling continues in order to fill the screen in the other
dimension.
When scaling down, the image is scaled until one dimension fills the screen. At that point,
scaling ceases and the other dimension is cropped.
EXAMPLE
To display the 800 x 600 image (4:3 aspect ratio) coming from Output 1 on a
1920 x 1080 display (16:9 aspect ratio) by scaling the image up and maintaining its
proper 4:3 aspect ratio so that it fills the entire display, use the FILL function.
As more scaling is required to fill the horizontal dimension than the vertical
dimension, the image fills the screen and is cropped vertically on the display.
STRETCH
STRETCH “stretches” an image to fit onto the display without cropping when the aspect
ratio of the input is different than that of the display device. The resulting image may be
horizontally and/or vertically stretched to fit onto the entire display, and thus will not
maintain its original aspect ratio.
EXAMPLE
To display the 800 x 600 image coming from Output 1, stretched to fit a
1280 x 1024 display, use the STRETCH function. The image will be stretched both
horizontally and vertically to fit the display screen.
Video Positioning Control: RS-232/ Telnet
All four of the video positioning methods use the OWS command paired with an argument to
select the positioning method: FIT, CENTER, FILL or STRETCH.
FIT COMMAND
The command is:
OWS <output #> FIT
where <output #> is the number of your chosen output. For example, to scale the image
displayed on Output 1 to “fit” the output’s maximum resolution, while still keeping all of
the image visible, issue the command OWS 1 FIT.
CENTER COMMAND
The command is:
OWS <output #> CENTER
where <output #> is the number of your chosen output. For example, to center the image
displayed on Output 1, issue the command OWS 1 CENTER.
