Up-Conversion
Hardware 10-bit
Anamorphic: fullscreen
Pillarbox 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in center of screen with black
sidebars
Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image
with black side bars
Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen
Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to
fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change
Down-Conversion
Hardware 10-bit
Anamorphic: fullscreen
Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to
image area with the aspect ratio preserved
Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size
Cross-Conversion
Hardware 10-bit
1080i to 720p
720p to 1080i
720p to 1080PsF
SD to SD Aspect Ratio Conversion
Letterbox: This transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed
image
H Crop: Will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image;
transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
SD Pillarbox: Will produce an image in the center of the screen with
black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image
in the center
