Problem

Why does my Image / Video Asset not display on the entire screen?

Cause

Your Image / Video Asset is not in the correct dimensions for your Container / Viewing Area.

NexSigns will automatically resize your Image / Video Assets but will NOT stretch them as it distorts the content.

In this example, I am trying to display an Image Asset on my entire screen

Original Image - Soda can with a white background


Dimensions - 500 x 800 pixels (Width x Height)

The Original Image placed on a standard 1080p High Definition TV 

Dimensions - 1920 x 1080 pixels (Width x Height)


HD - 1080p - 1920 x 1080 pixels (Width x Height)

Solution

Use Image / Video Assets that are in the correct dimensions of your Containers.  

For optimal quality, use Image / Video Assets with the full dimensions of your Container / Viewing Area.


In the previous example, you should use Image / Video Assets that are 1920 x 1080 pixels.
