16:9 Aspect Ratio
“960H” is the term used for a composite video signal which utilises additional hori-
zontal lines of resolution. The additional horizontal space creates a significantly larger
and sharper image, and also allows for higher dynamic range.
If you connect traditional CCTV cameras to the DVR, it will automatically upscale the
image to make use of the entire screen. This will allow higher quality videos than
would otherwise be available, particularly for 700TVL+ cameras, but will warp the im-
age to appear a little wider than it should be.
If you do end up with a recording at the incorrect aspect ratio, this isn’t a disaster.
You’ll still be able to clearly see the details and identify individuals, up to the limits
imposed by the camera itself.
The correct aspect ratio can easily be applied using a media player such as VLC (www.
videolan.org). Just backup your footage that is located on the DVR and play it back on
a computer. Select the appropriate aspect ratio (16:9 for 960H cameras and 4:3 for
standard CCTV cameras).
