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
- V Crop: Will transform SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image
