Configuring the Aspect Ratio for Video Views
The resolution and aspect ratio depend on the camera used. In general, the aspect ratio of the video image does not fit the aspect ratio of the sequence view, thus leading to the video image not filling the entire screen. You can configure whether the video image fills the entire screen or not.
- In the menu bar, select Window > Preferences.
- Select Siveillance Control > Views > Video View.
- In the Ignore Aspect Ratio field, you have the following options:
- To display the video images in the aspect ratio, mark the Ignore Aspect Ratio check box.
- To fill the entire view with the video image, unmark the Ignore Aspect Ratio check box. The image can be distorted.
- Click OK.
