OUTPUTASPECTRATIO OAR OR
The OUTPUTASPECTRATIO command forces the aspect ratio of the video output. The
VIDEO setting uses standard aspect ratio values that can be overridden by this
command. The AUTO setting will stretch the video output and fill the screen for
most VIDEO target settings.
The CONFIGURATION SAVE command (*.DCMD CFG SAVE) will save the setting in non-
volatile memory.
Notes: OUTPUTVIDEOSCALE and OUTPUTASPECTRATIO cannot be used at the same time. If
OUTPUTASPECTRATIO is not set to OFF (default), then the OUTPUTVIDEOSCALE
command options will not be activated.
When the DECODEACTIVEFORMAT is made active, the OUTPUTASPECTRATIO will be
forced to an OFF condition.
