1. Most display devices have a wide range of capability in mapping the boundary of the raster scan to the boundary of the viewable area This control is provided to enable additional control in the event that the users display device does not provide sufficient range This control is always operational however it should be adjusted in conjunction with the Output Horizontal and Vertical Size controls Section 3 10 1 Output Horizontal and Vertical Position is indicated by OUT HV POS on the QuadScan Elite Front Panel Display 2 13 Input Source Window Control 2 13 1 Input Horizontal and Vertical Position Range This control enables the user to position the Input Window with respect to the input video source The Input Window 18 a smaller section of the video input that will be used as the scaling source The Input Horizontal and Vertical Position works in conjunction with the Input Horizontal and Vertical Size Control The default Input Position is with the Input Window exactly aligned with the timing boundaries of active video as specified for NTSC and PAL Input Horizontal and Vertical Position is indicated by IN HV POS on the QuadScan Elite Front Panel Display 2 13 2 Input Horizontal and Vertical Size Range This control enables the user to control the size of the Input Window with respect to the input source The Input Window is a smaller section of the source input that will be used as the scaling source As the Input Size is adjust2. 16 9 This mode stretches the image horizontally and changes the tall oval back into a circle on the display device 4 3LB Mode Ifyou have the QuadScan Elite in the 16 9 Output Aspect Ratio Mode a DVD movie that is wide screen black bars on the top and bottom when displayed on a standard TV and you don t like the black bars on the top and bottom of the displayed image then you should set the QuadScan Elite s Input Aspect Ratio to 4 3LB mode This will expand the image vertically and horizontally to eliminate the black bars on the top and bottom as well as the left and right side filling the screen WHAT OUTPUT ASPECT RATIO ACTUALLY DOES Display devices today have either a 4 3 aspect ratio or a 16 9 aspect ratio A typical LCD or DLP projector is made from a 4 3 display element and will want to display a 4 3 image at its maximum resolution CRT projectors can be adjusted to be either 4 3 or 16 9 output There are also 16 9 native CRT direct view monitors and some rear view projection displays that are inherently 16 9 as well If you had a native 4 3 display device let s say an XGA projector 1024x768 you could project it on a 4 3 screen and it would display its full resolution on that screen See Example A If you took the same 4 3 display device and projected it on a 16 9 screen you would lose a portion of the display resolution off the top and bottom of the screen making this area black You would only be viewing a portion of that
