Which media package should I upload?

Shipping a new Carousel system with a pre-determined zone loaded with backgrounds at a pre-determined aspect ratio seemed counter productive, so Tightrope ships each system with default media that is ready to be imported.

The media packages are in two locations and are exactly the same. The first is in the D:/TRMS/CarouselMediaPackages directory and the other is on the CD that is labeled Carousel Documentation and Default Media.

Backgrounds: These default backgrounds are available in 4 sizes that are each suitable for a zone’s unique aspect ratio:
450x700 : These backgrounds have very tall aspect ratios, suitable for zones that are narrow.
800x600 : This is a standard 4x3 aspect ratio found on standard television sets. Use this for all zones that use standard definition video.
950x300 : These backgrounds have a very wide aspect ratio.
1280x768 : Any time you need a background for a 16x9 or 16x10 aspect ratio, use these backgrounds. They’re perfect for filling an entire wide-screen monitor or any time that you have a channel that will be showing wide-screen content, such as some movies or high-definition television content.

Templates: Templates are a little more straightforward since there are only two:
4x3 : Any older television or for cablecast installations
16x9 : For any newer wide screen panels.
