6. Automatic Behavior

Automatic Behavior is optional and comes after Fit, Fill/Crop, or NLS. It changes when a saved presentation is applied; it does not change the calibrated screen geometry.

Handle changing aspect ratios

Some movies and shows change aspect ratio during playback. Choose the response that matches how you want to watch them:

BehaviorWhat happens
FollowApplies the appropriate saved presentation after the transition delay
Preserve ContentKeeps the complete changing image visible
FillFavors the saved Fill or NLS coverage behavior
Lock CurrentHolds the current framing until you release it

Transition Delay waits for a detected change to settle. Minimum Hold prevents rapid changes from repeatedly resizing the image.

Variable-aspect-ratio timeline and response controls

Keep subtitles visible

Enable Subtitle Safe when subtitles may appear in an area removed by Fill/Crop or NLS. Void Video temporarily reveals the required area, then waits for Subtitle Hold before returning to the saved presentation.

Keep source controls visible

Enable Source OSD Safe for playback controls or messages produced by the source device. OSD Hold controls how long the required area remains visible after the source overlay disappears.

Review and save

Use Test Ratios to preview common content shapes and Compare to inspect the unmodified image. Save Presentation stores the presentation and automatic behavior separately from the screen installation.

Presentation review before saving

After saving, the final page summarizes the screen installation, presentation mode, and automatic behavior. This example shows a completed 2.40 Scope profile.

Example of a completed Screen Configuration

The next time you open Screen Configuration, this active-screen summary opens first. Select a section to edit it directly; the first-time setup flow does not repeat.
