Theaterscope  the image is scaled such that a 2.35:1 image will be displayed 
at the correct aspect ratio when the projector is fitted with an 
anamorphic lens. Thus an image with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 
can be displayed using the full 16:9 resolution of the DMD.
4:3    the image is scaled to fit a 4:3 screen, using the full height of the 
DMD.
4:3 Narrow  to be used for 4:3 images in combination with an anamorphic 
lens. The image is scaled to fit the DMD vertically, but squeezed 
horizontally such that the lens will stretch it to the correct ratio.
Native   the image is displayed with no scaling, at its original resolution, in 
the centre of the screen.
