Extron IN1508 Scaling Presentation Switcher can edit in menu to 4:3 and change output the resolution to 480P. I have M2 ShotTriggers Battle Garegga and Dangun Feveron running on the PS4 / Xbox One in full-screen TATE 4:3.

So what output resolution do you use on the console side to achieve that ?

When you say setting the PS4 resolution to 480p doesn’t work (without using an additional video processor) on a VGA monitor, what does it do exactly?

The signal is out of range. No display.

I am displaying 1080p out to the Extron which is converting the signal to 640x480 VGA and has options for 16:9 or 4:3 output.

Interested in how you are going out to the Extron. I looked up the model you have but I didn't see an HDMI in. Interested to know more since I'll probably want to rig up a PS4 in my cab.

A VGA to HDMI adapter is used to hook up the EXTRON. You must use a Powered unit for the PS4 to display VGA.

Maybe I am missing something, but yesterday I tried the Switch in a 640x480p 4:3 monitor, and although the output fills the screen without top and down borders, the aspect ratio is wrong. Let me explain, circles are ellipsis and squares are rectangles, seems that rendering is artificially stretched vertically to fit the screen and keeps the 1280x720 source resolution.

For Tokyo-J,

Does the Switch port of Crimson Clover support 4:3 mode on a candy cab setup?
