Aspect ratio and 480i--letterbox and squeeze

lpcvideo1

The HVX is native 16:9, yes, even in SD 480i.

My question is, I am used to the DVX's letterbox and squeeze modes being non-native solutions--workarounds, really. Knowing Pany's penchant for re-mapping terminology across models, am I correct in assuming,
1. "squeeze" mode is the native 16:9 aspect ratio, and
2. "letterbox" is the 16:9, converted to 4:3 with letterbox bars tacked to the upper and lower portions?

A related question, and forgive me if this has been covered--searched and didn't see anything--when dubbing from P2 to tape, what options exist for mapping to 4:3 aspect?

Any light on this subject?

Panasonic camera is full of secrets and tricks :grin:
We sure need the ultimate Barry's book "The Truth behind the Truth*behind again*of Panasonic Hvx200" ! :grin:
 
Barry it's a sort of superhero of Panny cameras! I'm sure that when I understand something new in my head about Panny workin', it's not me, but surely there's a little Barry in my head that makes my mind clear about it! :)
LOL

Good job Barry!:thumbsup:
