Standard vs. widescreen capture
Studio can capture in both the standard (4:3) and the
widescreen (16:9) frame aspect ratios. With digital
hardware, the frame format is detected automatically.
With analog hardware, you use the Aspect ratio
dropdown on the Capture source options panel to
select the format that matches the source material. You
can’t use this setting to change one format to another: it
simply lets Studio know how to display the video at the
correct aspect ratio.
