Vertical orientation

Vertical orientation

Vertical orientation is a 3:4 aspect ratio, rotated 90 degrees from an NTSC television's standard 4:3 aspect ratio. It has been used primarily for arcade games (especially during the early 1980s) and for art projects, including a music video by The Shamen.
