A 2.35:1 film still panned and scanned to smaller sizes. At the smallest, 1.33:1 (4:3), nearly half of the original image has been cropped. Pan and scan is a film editing methodology of adjusting widescreen film images, rendering them compatible for broadcast on 4:3 aspect ratio television screens.
Aspect ratio 2.35:1 versus 1.85:1. Open matte is a filming technique that involves matting out the top and bottom of the film frame in the movie projector (known as a soft matte) for the widescreen theatrical release and then scanning the film without a matte (at Academy ratio) for a full screen home video release. It is roughly equivalent to ...
The aspect ratio of 4:3. Fullscreen (or full screen) refers to the 4:3 (1. 33:1) aspect ratio of early standard television screens and computer monitors. [1] Widescreen ratios started to become more popular in the 1990s and 2000s. Film originally created in the 4:3 aspect ratio does not need to be altered for full-screen release.
An alternative to pillar-boxing is "tilt-and-scan" (like pan and scan, but vertical), horizontally matting the original 1.33:1 television images to the 1.78:1 aspect ratio. At any given moment this crops part of the top and/or bottom of the frame, hence the need for the "tilt" component.
Most films are shot with the intent to project the picture at a particular aspect ratio (typically 1.78, 1.85, 2.35 or 2.40). During production the filmmakers will look at a specific section of the film frame that has been isolated on a monitor as the projected aspect ratio, but more image is caught on film than this aspect ratio.

It becomes necessary when film or video that was not originally designed for widescreen is shown on a widescreen display, or a narrower widescreen image is displayed within a wider aspect ratio, such as a 16:9 image in a 2.39:1 frame (common in cinemas). The original material is shrunk and placed in the middle of the widescreen frame.
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.
