Setting Camera Aspect Ratio

Occasionally, cameras will report an incorrect aspect ratio. If DW Spectrum cannot make an automatic correction you can do so manually.

Note: This correction will require transcoding of videos that are exported from the camera.

To specify an aspect ratio

1.Open Camera Settings and go to the General tab.

2.In the Image Control section, click in the Aspect Ratio field to open the pulldown menu.

3.Select the desired aspect ratio from the available options: 16:9, 1:1, or 4:3. Select Auto for DW Spectrum to determine the aspect ratio.

4.Click Apply or OK to save the setting.

Note: If the aspect ratio is set to Auto in the Camera Settings dialog, the aspect ratio of the secondary stream will be modified to match the aspect ratio of the primary stream.
