•	 The	 term	“letterbox”	 refers	to	a	more	 landscape-oriented	 image	when	compared	 to	a	4:3	 image,	 which	is	the	 standard	 aspect	
ratio	for	a	vide	source.
	 The	letterbox	signal	has	aspect	ratios	with	the	vista	size	“1.85:1”	or	cinema	scope	size	“2.35:1”	for	movie	film.
•	 The	term	“squeeze”	refers	to	the	compressed	image	of	which	aspect	ratio	is	converted	from	16:9	to	4:3.
