6000 Processor: How do I configure fit fudge or fit modes?
Topic
- How to configure fit fudge or fit modes for my VP-6000?
Environment
- Product: VP-6000
- Components: User Interface, config.js
- Control System:
Steps
-
Login to the VP-6000. Refer to 6000 Processor: How do I log into the user interface?
-
Click the User icon in the top right corner to expand the right side menu and click Advanced
-
Click Vidprocs from list of advanced options and then click the line with the type JavaScript Video Processing Engine.
-
From the Scripts tab, a list of .js files will be viewable. From the list of .js files, click config.js. Scroll down within the configuration editor. The fit fudge is near the bottom. Experiment with different values to see which value looks the best. Negative values are advised against as they will leave holes in the canvas. Zero and one can be assured to do exactly what is stated below. The fit fudge section look like this:
Explanation of the settings:
- A Fit Fudge of 0 causes the engine to take exactly the source area configured (in the config XML) and place it exactly in the destination area configured - if the aspect ratios are not the same, the video will be squished or skewed. This is sometimes called "Stretch" mode.
- A Fit Fudge of 1 will tell the engine to keep the aspect ratio from the source, cropping the top/bottom (or left/right) of the input as needed. The entire destination area will be filled, but parts of the source may be cropped off. This is sometimes called "Fill" mode.
- A Fit Fudge of -1 will tell the engine to keep the aspect ratio from the source, shrinking the top/bottom (or left/right) of the destination area as needed. The entire source will be used, but part of the destination area will not be filled in (and will show any zones at a lower z-order). This is sometimes called "Best Fit" mode, except that the VP will not fill the unused space with black.
- Fit Fudge is a decimal number, meaning you can pick fractions anywhere between -1.0 and +1.0. A fractional value will do a mixture: for example (with differing source and destination aspect ratios), a Fit Fudge value of 0.75 will pick an aspect ratio about 75% of the way between FitFudge=0 and FitFudge=1, i.e., it will be skewed about 25% but will hold about 75% of the aspect ratio.
5. If using look package 4.1+, then the fit fudge section will look like this and the values can also be adjusted:
