Aspect Ratios


We frequently receive queries from EBU Members on how to best handle aspect ratios that are not the common 16:9 and 4:3 television formats, such as 9:16 and 1:1. Different 'tools & rules' are used, but there currently is no agreed Best Practice. This one-hour roundtable was organized to share the status quo and collect the needs, after which the EBU Video Systems group may publish more guidance.

Agenda

This event consisted of three parts:

- In the first part several EBU Members briefly presented their approach for handling video in different aspect ratios (see the videos below).

- The second part was dedicated to Q&A;

- In the third part we discussed next steps to address the concerns raised.
