Aspect ratio is simply the relationship between height and width (W: H) of digital displays. The aspect ratio is 1:1 if width and height are equal, while the height will be three times the width if the aspect ratio is 1:3. Some common examples of aspect ratios include:
* Landscape displays in which width appears greater than height, for example, 3:2.
* Portrait in which width appears smaller than height, for example, 2:3.
* Square, in which both height and width are equal, for example, 1:1. The standard defined aspect ratio for video and display is 16:9 (16 units for width and 9 units for height). You can have a defined display by using a video processor so that your content perfectly fits the size of the display wall. Though custom ratios can be created by our team, they can cause some critical issues. .
Letterboxing occurs when the image maintains its original aspect ratio, resulting in black bars on the sides of the screen. If the image is stretched, it will become distorted to fill the entire screen. Alternatively, the image may be cropped to fill the whole screen.
If you’re planning to go for an ultra-wide display to make a desired stage and screen by having a custom aspect ratio, you should use the same resolution custom content matching exactly with your display aspect ratio so that display can feel perfectly to it. Screen management software is available in the market to move your content on the screen without distorting it.
