Aspect Ratio Correction

Currently, digital TV channels are always broadcast in 16:9 widescreen format. If the programme is 4:3, then black bars will be included in the broadcast image on the sides of the programme.

Magic TV™ includes a set of Aspect Ratio Correction modes, some of which can be used to remove those black bars if desired. Please see the following diagrams for further information.

	Full
The broadcast fills the screen
	Pillarbox
If a programme appears stretched in ‘Full’ mode, this mode could correct it by adding black bars to the sides or top and bottom
