Video a little out of aspect on my monitor

[luttrell1962]

I have a hanns-g monitor 28" 1920x1200 and PVRX@ set at widescreen 16x9 but the people are a little tall streched, it's not bad I can live with it. I tried 16x10 then they are a little fat and scaling does not work that well with the f7 @ 16.x10.

I saw the parameters in config.xml and tried changing them but strange things happened. So a explanation of the setting would help.

What parameters? The aspect ratio ones?

Code:

<TvShape>16x9</TvShape>
  <AspectRatioModes shape="4x3">
    <AspectRatioMode name="Auto" ratio="0,0,0,0" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="Fill" ratio="0,0,1,1" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="LetterBox" ratio="0,0.125,1,0.875" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="Remove LetterBox" ratio="0,-0.125,1,1.125" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="Center Cut" ratio="-0.05,-0.17,1.04,1.17" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="PillarBox" ratio="0.08,0,0.92,1" />
  </AspectRatioModes>
  <AspectRatioModes shape="16x9">
    <AspectRatioMode name="Auto" ratio="0,0,0,0" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="Fill" ratio="0,0,1,1" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="Remove LetterBox" ratio="0,-0.125,1,1.125" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="PillarBox" ratio="0.08,0,0.92,1" />
  </AspectRatioModes>
  <AspectRatioModes shape="16x10">
    <AspectRatioMode name="Auto" ratio="0,0,0,0" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="Fill" ratio="0,0.05,1,0.95" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="PillarBox" ratio="0.08,0,0.92,1" />
    <AspectRatioMode name="Remove LetterBox" ratio="0,-0.125,1,1.125" />
  </AspectRatioModes>

I tried changing some of these but suspect that more is going on in the code than these setting when you make modifications. What parameters would I need to change to get the ratio to more like 16x9.5.

Thanks for your help.

<AspectRatioModes shape="16x10">
<AspectRatioMode name="Auto" ratio="0,0,0,0" />
<AspectRatioMode name="Fill" ratio="0,0.03,1,.95" />
<AspectRatioMode name="PillarBox" ratio="-0.047,0,1.047,1" />
<AspectRatioMode name="Remove LetterBox" ratio="0,-0.125,1,1.125" />
</AspectRatioModes>

Fill ratio affects auto it's not perfectly centered but just a little off. Pillar box works good for video that is a pillar and cuts off just a little in 1080p

In fill ratio the second number affects top margin and fourth number affects bottom margin as far as I can tell.

In Pillar box the first number affects left margin and the third number affects right margin.

I have not had a chance to test the other modes on analog video yet.

Now I need to program a f7 key on my remote.

Analog was all out of proportion, but I adjusted letterbox setting to give good display

<AspectRatioModes shape="16x10">
<AspectRatioMode name="Auto" ratio="0,0,0,0" />
<AspectRatioMode name="Fill" ratio="0,0.03,1,.95" />
<AspectRatioMode name="PillarBox" ratio="-0.047,0,1.047,1" />
<AspectRatioMode name="Remove LetterBox" ratio="0.08,-0.02,0.92,1.02" />
</AspectRatioModes>

Wish there where separate settings for analog and HD content. Messing with auto might fix it but I've spent enough time on this.

Edit: Funny thing is analog is sharper now, strange.
