English: Dr. Kerns Powers proposed the 16:9 aspect ratio to the SMPTE after overlaying equal area rectangles in the 1.33, 1.667, 1.85, Panavision/2.2 and CinemaScope/2.35 formats in the way illustrated here. The overlapped rectangles all fit within a 16:9 rectangle and all enclose a smaller, common 16:9 rectangle.
Kerns H. Powers, a member of the SMPTE Working Group on High-Definition Electronic Production, first proposed the 16:9 (1.7 7:1) aspect ratio in 1984. [4]
The 16:9 format was proposed in the early 1980s by Dr. Kerns H. Powers, who concluded that 16:9 was the appropriate aspect ratio to use to more easily accommodate the various aspect ratios that were being used at the time, ranging from the 1.33:1 TV standard to the 2.39:1 CinemaScope/anamorphic standard.
Jul 4, 2021 · Thought up by Dr. Kerns H. Powers of SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers), the 16:9 ratio was created from a variety of mathematical equations and processes. He essentially concluded that it was the best option for the future of high-definition displays.
