Scaling and positioning your output
“Specifying your region of interest settings” on page 35). The Destination
region of interest limitation
box above the preview window shows the
width and height limitations.
$ Anamorphic Scales your original output content so that it fills the
entire video output.
$ Scale to fit horizontally Scales your original output content so that it
fills the video output horizontally, while maintaining the aspect ratio.
$ Scale to fit vertically Scales your original output content so that it fills
the video output vertically, while maintaining the aspect ratio.
$ 1:1 (no scaling) Displays your original output content at its exact
resolution without any scaling. You can also press
CTRL+SHIFT+F4 to set
the scaling to 1:1 (see “Managing keyboard shortcuts” on page 48).
$ Custom (Convert DVI Plus only) Select this option for custom scaling
using the
Width and Height, or % options. Press ENTER on your
keyboard after typing the values. You can also scale manually by using the
custom-scaling handles that are available on the destination region of

¦NoteHold SHIFT when scaling manually to maintain the destination region
of interest aspect ratio, or you can select
Preserve aspect ratio to maintain
the aspect ratio when scaling manually or when using the
Width and Height

anamorphically. If anamorphic scaling produces an unsupported condition,

maintain your output content’s aspect ratio on the video output, and then
choose the aspect ratio (
4:3 or 16:9) of the monitor connected to Convert
DVI’s video output. If you’re recording Convert DVI’s video output to tape,
select the aspect ratio that you want for your recording.
If aspect ratio preservation is not important, disable this option to output the
crispest possible image. Disable this option if a DVI-D device that is
