The size of the content in each region depends upon the resolution supported by
the DMP. The DMP 4310G supports 1920 x 1066 pixel resolution while the DMP
4305G supports 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. The content needs to be created so
that it displays properly for the TV resolution. Refer to the StadiumVision Content
