- Region of Interest (ROI)
- Up-Conversion
- Hardware 10-bit
- Zoom 14
- 9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars
- Zoom Letterbox
- results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen
- Zoom Wide
- results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change
- Down-Conversion
