Aspect ratio

"It will broadcast in 1080i HDTV and shot in 16:9 aspect ratio, with a 4:3 center-cut for standard definition television sets."

I'm not sure what this means... how will the broadcast know what aspect ratio I'm using on my television set ? Or does it mean that non-HD broadcasts will use the 4:3 aspect ratio ? Bigmouth strikes (talk) 13:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's the same exact aspect ratio for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.. Jason (talk) 08:44, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see, that very same sentence is used for the Jay Leno article as well. Maybe I'll ask the same question there instead, since it's probably more watched at the moment. I supposed that it's intended to mean that SDTV-broadcasts will use a 4:3 center cutout, but I know for certain that this isn't the case today. When I watch the Jay Leno or Conan shows today on my old TV, it's a 16:9 letterbox format. Bigmouth strikes (talk) 14:12, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
