holyhandwalker Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 This is an issue with the OS. Any display has to deal with overscan(displays cutting off the edges of the signal. It's an old tv analog signal problem that has lingered). For whatever reason apple doesn't let you control overscan protection on iPhones and iPads while they do let you do it with the apple tv. iDevices default to overscan protection on. The problem here is that Pioneer doesn't use overscan on their display. Again, ancient tech leftovers. Why use it? So they put in their APIs code to tell appradio apps that they need to block overscan protection when sending to appradio. This used to work... until iOS 7. Whenever an app shrinks the HDMI adaptor has deemed overscan protection necessary for the video source, overriding the Pioneer request to not overscan to compensate for Apple's silliness, and it shrinks the signal to compensate. Apple needs to let us turn this ancient protection system off. That would solve all problems. Sorry, was trying to quote this... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
holyhandwalker Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yup, I can confirm this. Well, it does actually shrink for me when using car media player but then goes back to full size almost instantaneously. Happy days! For those of us sticking to 7.0.4 so they can use Mike's Appradio Extensions can't update to 7.1 though I wonder if Mike could implement a solution in his tweak...
