Purpose
To set and display the pixel ratio for the output medium.
Usage
To enter pixel ratios, click the pix ratio x/y or pix ratio y/x input
box

correct
x/y or pix ratio y/x for the selected output medium and confirm

Comments
Certain video formats (d1, hdtv) do not use square pixels. Therefore
the
image must be rendered with a specific pixel ratio. For example pal
Video
image ratios are always set in a 4 x 3 format. When using square
pixels
this 4 x 3 image ratio will be achieved with 768 x 576 pixels. In
d1 format
the pixels are not square but stretched in the x-direction (1.067).
In this
case the 4 x 3 image ratio requires 720 x 576 pixels. GIG will
automatically set the modeling windows to the same ratio as the selected
output medium settings.
