    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_and_scan

    A film subject to pan and scan often lost around half of its horizontal size due to cropping. [4] Letterboxing was an alternative method of displaying widescreen films on a 4:3 screen, as it maintained the original aspect ratio by adding black space above and below the image. However, this invariably reduced the size of the image and ...

    The Spatial Processor can change the size of the image: pan and scan, letterbox or make other aspect ratio and rotation changes, also product interlaced video if needed. The Spatial Processor also produces the 2:3 pulldown, if needed for the format. An optional Scream grain reducer can reduce film grain in all three color channels. [7]

    The difference is that whilst D1 has a 4:3 aspect ratio 960H has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The extra pixels are used to form the increased area to the sides of the D1 image. The pixel density of 960H is identical to standard D1 resolution so it does not give any improvement in image quality, merely a wider aspect ratio.
