When 4/3 SD is broadcast by the broadcaster on HD channels. the broadcaster can choose three broadcast versions
16/9 broadcast with no bars down the side, called stretch to full 16/9 and then a 4/3 flag is sent with the broadcast to tell the HDTV to enable 4/3 mode on the HDTV automaticly this compresses the width back in... and 16/9 become 4/3 again...
This is now up to the user to correct aspec ratio as 4/3 flag is now mostly disabled...
16 accross 9 up and down...
4/3 stretched to 16/9 at broadcaster... This used to be called "vanessa feltz" mode every one is just a little to fat... Homer even bigger
( no his is not a clip from the poncho episode were he worked at home and he just got even bigger )
4/3 corrected by 4/3 flag broadcast on the signal, HDTV enabled 4/3 mode automaticly... ( 4/3 flag is being removed content will be as first image to fat...)
The second is 16/9 with black boarders down the side and no 4/3 flag is broadcast... HDTV stays in 16/9 mode. (Also on the way out)
The image is fitted by hieght and thats it..
Third is the 4/3 is cropped and content is removed from top and bottom to make 16/9 picture... the hole episode is manualy altered to keep core content in frame... constantly moving up and down to cut the frame... This is rejected by most users as letter box films cinema ratio will also be cut to 16/9 if this continues... image loses quality because the image is basicly zoomed in and cropped
Does marge not have more hair than that...
yep in uncropped image she does... ( Content has been removed to make 16/9 for HDTV format even more Upscale needs to be applied...)
This is very Bad president to set as image quality gets lowed and relies on Upscalers to correct it... The USA are allready rebelling at the cropped and streched versions on US simpson app..
That ends the beginners guide to aspec ratio...
Extra
If cropping to 16/9 trend continues films will be next, heres what the movie would look like...
