Having 2 monitors:
1) 1920 x 1200 (it is not 1920 x 1080 or 16:9)
2) 1280 x 960 (4:3)

Camera is Canon HF G30, with Avermedia capture card.
Input resolution: 1920 x 1080 (16:9)

When I activate FullScreen of both monitors, the image is stretched to monitor size and this makes it distorted.

It would be normal the aspect ratio to be kept and if monitor resolution is not same as source => to have those black bars.

Is there anything in configuration in Vmix to keep the aspect ratio for fullscreen?

Thank you!

These are just your desktop monitors? Can you just change both monitors to be a 16x9 resolution?

vMix is designed to be used with monitors that are the same aspect ratio as the output.
It's possible to change this, but it is a bit tricky, instructions are below:

1. Set the desktop background to solid black color.
2. Use the following formula to calculate the two numbers, Top and Height:

Height = (DestinationScreenWidth / 16 * 9)
Top = DestinationScreenHeight - Height / 2

Height = 1280 / 16 * 9 = 720
Top = 960 - 720 / 2 = 120

3. In vMix Settings under the Display tab check the Position checkbox and put in the following numbers into the four text boxes:

120,0,1280,720

Martin,
It would be perfect to have this automatically done, like when you make fullscreen a movie in a player (vlc, etc).
