  2. Widescreen display modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen_display_modes

    Normal mode frames the 4:3 video to the 16:9 picture area by displaying it in its original aspect ratio, with vertical gray or black bars on both sides of the screen. The disadvantage of this method is the fact that the image is small by virtue of not using the entire width of the screen. This is also known as the 4:3 mode.

    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.

  4. Widescreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen

    The original screen ratio for TV broadcasts was 4:3 (1.33:1). This was the same aspect ratio as most cinema screens and films at the time TV was first sold commercially. 1930s and 1940s films in 4:3, such as Gone with the Wind, have always been displayed on television in 4:3, filling the entire frame.

    Final Cut Pro can show two overlay rectangles in both its Viewer and Canvas; the inner rectangle is the title-safe area and the outer rectangle is the action-safe area. [ 5 ] In the illustration, the green area is referred to as the "title-safe" area (note that these colors are for illustration only and do not appear on the television screens).

    4:3 1 bpp for TT. SXGA: Super Extended Graphics Array A widely used de facto standard, introduced with XGA-2 and other early "multiscan" graphics cards and monitors, with an unusual aspect ratio of 5:4 (1.25:1) instead of the more common 4:3 (1. 3:1), meaning that even 4:3 pictures and video will appear letterboxed on the narrower 5:4 screens ...

  7. Fullscreen (aspect ratio) - Wikipedia

    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.

  8. Display resolution standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution_standards

    The 1280 × 1024 resolution is not the standard 4:3 aspect ratio, instead it is a 5:4 aspect ratio (1.25:1 instead of 1. 3:1). A standard 4:3 monitor using this resolution will have rectangular rather than square pixels, meaning that unless the software compensates for this the picture will be distorted, causing circles to appear elliptical.

  9. DV (video format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DV_(video_format)

    The same frame size is used for 4:3 and 16:9 frame aspect ratios, resulting in different pixel aspect ratios for fullscreen and widescreen video. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Prior to the DCT compression stage, chroma subsampling is applied to the source video in order to reduce the amount of data to be compressed.
