HD and SD Analog Component Video Spatial Distortion Measurements with the VM6000

With many combinations of video displays and signal formats available during the SD/HD transition, the consumer could easily be missing a part of the picture. Important areas in the picture are protected in program production, using safe-action and safe-title guidelines, but these will become less important in the future as a more viewers watch programs in wide-screen, High Definition formats. A partial solution to this issue is aspect ratio conversion to fit the signal to the viewer's chosen display format.
