    Question here for you all. I’m planning on shooting some footage to telestream to another station. Is there a way to shoot the footage in 16 x 9 then squish the footage into 4 x 3. Then once they telestream the footage can the other station bring the 4 x 3 back to 16 x 9.

    Thanks you all in advance for your input.

    The quick answer is yes. But there’s some details that need clarifying. For example, I use extron scalers Model DVS 304. When you say 4:3 and 16:9, there are a variety of actual frame sizes and cycle rates to choose from depending on the exact specs of each piece of hardware, for example 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz. The frame size and cycle rate are separate “knobs” you can adjust for both “input” and “output” signals. Moreover, this particular scaler resides on a network via TCP/IP and you can manipulate it remotely.
