Send AR Info on OSD

Well-known member
Would like to see the content flag for aspect ratio sent on the cover view of the OSD.

My scenario:
I have a 2.40:1 AR screen with motorized masking.
I have a Lumagen Radiance Pro, utilizing auto-aspect detection via Kaleidescape+Image.
I would like to display the Kaleidescape cover view in 16:9, to provide that feeling of scale when the content then displays at 2.40:1.

Problem:
When I set the Kaleidescape to display OSD at 16:9, the Lumagen does not accurately detect the 16:9 aspect ratio and parts of the display are cut off.
When I tell the Lumagen to perform auto-aspect detection via Image Only, it is often slower to react, and sometimes misses changes in the OSD.

Solution:
Deliver the same 16:9 content flag in the OSD as is used for 16:9 content.
