Aspect Ratios Explained
The appearance of a projected image on the screen depends on a combination of the following:
• The DMD™ resolution:
• SX+ (SXGA+) with a 1400 x 1050 resolution, corresponding to an aspect ratio of 4:3
• 1080p with a 1920 x 1080 resolution, corresponding to an aspect ratio of 16:9
• WUXGA with a 1920 x 1200 resolution, corresponding to an aspect ratio of 16:10
• The aspect ratio of the input signal: 4:3, 16:9 or 16:10
• The value of the Aspect Ratio setting of the projector:
• Source - show the image with its original aspect ratio, not using the whole screen if the DMD™ aspect ratio does not match.
• Fill Display - ll the screen but force the DMD™ aspect ratio on the image.
• Fill & Crop - ll the screen without changing the original aspect ratio but cropping the image to t the DMD™ aspect ratio.
• Anamorphic - force a 16:9 ratio on the source. You need this setting to resolve 16:9 images packed into a 4:3 frame, otherwise it
distorts the image.
• TheaterScope is a special setting used in combination with an anamorphic lens, an optional accessory. It removes letterboxing
from a 2.35:1 source packed into a 16:9 frame.
