Screen size and projector size

[smitinbeeld]

I've made a slideshow for a presentation at a club with picture at the size 1920 x 1200 16:10. It looks great on the Canon Xeed (1920X1200) beamer.

Now i want to show them on my own projector 1920 x 1080 16:9.

I've changed setting in the projectoptions-> screen

Display Full screen

Aspect ratio 16:9

Size of slide 1920x1080

Fixed size of slide on

But it won't work. The height of the slides is oke but the width not. It's to small on the projector?

Is it possible what i want?

Jan,

If your images are 1920x1200 and your new show is 1920x1080 you will have to set every slide to "Cover Slide" instead of "Fit to Slide"

In O&A - COMMON - MODE.

You will now lose a little at the top and bottom of each image.

I assume when you say The height of the slides is oke but the width not. It's to small on the projector? that the images via the projector look like the attached example ??

That is not a great problem is it to see black bars either side? You cannot make one format fit another no matter what you do. If you do what DG suggests the images will fill the screen, but you will then enlarge the height of your images and lose a bit top and bottom. That may or may not be acceptable and will depend on your views and the images.

On a projector it isn't a great problem to see the show not quite stretching edge to edge with black bars either side as they are not hemmed in as they are with the plastic edge of the monitor. Presumably you will be in a darkened room and the show should look fine.

You could make a backup to zip of your 16:10 format slide show and then use that second version to make a 16:9 version. Unzip the copy and crop the images to 16:9, but that will depend again on your personal view and the content of the images.

Could you not just construct and apply a 16:9 frame and then re-size the images with O&A zoom ?

Thhen save a second show.

Good practice !!
