Aspect Ratios

Usable Aspect Ratios

Use in Film Star Trek Cinemascope 2.35

Use in Games The Age of Cogman HD(16:9) 1.78

Aspect Ratios are a finer way of explaining

different number of pixels limiting resolution &

therefore any work experienced through screens

will differentiate substantially to one another.
