Portrait Disply Nightmare!
by Clayton Light on Dec 4, 2007 at 7:02:53 pm

Okay here's a mind bender...
I've been assigned the task to create a presentation for CES for a major company. The product is a portable media player. It has a 320x240 display. Normally you would turn it on it's side to view video. They are making an oversized prop of the device for the show. They will be placing an NEC 4020 LCD Information Display inside the prop for the screen. This display's native resolution is 1366x786 (WXGA.)

They will be turning the display on it's side (portrait) to place it inside the prop and they need the content to be produced so that the presentation displays only at the upper portion to simulate the 4x3 aspect display of the device. The botttom of the screen will be a black rectangle.

To make things even more complicated, for legal reasons it can't be HD. So here's the problem... How do I create the presentation in 4x3 portrait so that I can then turn it sideways, and place it in a 16x9 (if that's the right thing to do) anamorphic comp so that it will play back correctly (from the internal DVD player of a laptop) in the visible area of the prop, and I can then re-purpose the presentation by scaling it down into a 320x240 comp (portrait) so that it will play on the actual device!

HELP!

Thanks,
