Aspect Ratio

Media files (images, videos, and templates) come in a variety of formats and aspect ratios. Similarly, screens that play these media files also vary in aspect ratios.

To facilitate informed decision-making regarding the aspect ratio of the content to be used, Broadsign Publish provides the capability to review media files according to different aspect ratios. This feature allows you to confidently publish messages without the need to be in close proximity to the screen where they will be displayed.

Broadsign Publish supports the following aspect ratios:

  • 3:4 (Portrait)
  • 4:3 (Landscape)
  • 16:9 (Landscape)
  • 9:16 (Portrait)

By default, media files are presented with the 16:9 aspect ratio.

If the media file does not match the selected aspect ratio, it is cropped or white spaced.
