Note that any change in the output resolution will cancel the zoom setting Selecting the Correct Aspect Ratio You can configure the aspect ratio of any output image to fit your application The VP 771 offers four different aspect ratio settings Follow Input Follow Output Best Fit and Letterbox Here is how each of these settings works FOLLOW INPUT The aspect ratio and resolution of the input video or graphics signal are both preserved no scaling For example a composite video image with a 4 3 aspect ratio will appear with the same aspect ratio ona 1080p 16 9 output image surrounded by black bars FOLLOW OUTPUT The aspect ratio and resolution of the input signal is re sized to precisely match the aspect ratio and resolution of the VP 771 output signal This may result in some distortion to the input signal images BEST FIT This setting re sizes the video or graphics input signal to best fit the output resolution while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal For example a composite video signal 4 3 aspect ratio will best fit to the top and bottom of a widescreen output image resulting in black pillars on either side LETTERBOX This setting compresses the top and bottom edges of the input signal but fills the width of the screen For example to preserve a widescreen film image on a 4 3 display 6 7 2 Master Connection Settings The Master Connection HDMI DGKat PC or SDI is us
