Fill to source aspect ratio (proportional)
This option maintains the aspect ratio of the source input, making the image as large as possible, centering it
in the display, and using 0% black to ll the unused areas of the screen. For example, a source input that is
narrower than 16×9 will be displayed at full height with black bars to the left and right of the source image,
and a source input that is wider than 16×9 will be the displayed at full width with black bars above and below
the source image.
Fill to Source Aspect Ratio is the default and is the option most suitable to the majority of workows.
The following illustration shows a the visual result when a 2048×1080 source input is displayed on the
display with the Fill to source aspect ratio (proportional) option enabled.
Fill to entire screen (non-proportional)
This option distorts source aspect ratios other than 16×9 to force them to t within the display’s 16×9 aspect
ratio. The resulting image will take up the entire display and will either be stretched horizontally (for narrower
aspect ratios) or vertically (for wider aspect ratios).
Use Fill to Entire Screen if the source aspect ratio is irrelevant and you want the entire screen to be lled,
regardless of the distortion that may be caused.
The following illustration shows the visual result when a 2048×1080 source input is displayed on the display
with the Fill to entire screen (non-proportional) option enabled. Notice that, as compared to the previous
illustration, the circle and squares are stretched horizontally so the image lls the entire 16:9 aspect ratio.
Fill to screen width (proportional)
This option is for specic workows with source video that is narrower than the display’s native 16×9 aspect
ratio. In some lm workows it is desired to render the animation or visual eects at an Academy or other
taller aspect ratio and perform a “center extraction” for widescreen delivery. If enabled, this option will resize
the source image so that the width matches the display width. Then the source image is centered vertically
