Borders The borders function allows you to add horizontal and/or vertical borders around the image. Certain input-to-output aspect ratios already result in left/ right or top/bottom border being added. This control allows the system-generated borders to be extended, or for borders to be added when none exist. As the borders are adjusted (see below) the dVp235 temporarily increases the gray level of the borders so that they are visible during the adjustment process.
