Monitor 16x9 reversed?

It appears my Greenscreen monitor on my Master sled is adjusting for 16x9 incorrectly. It's perfectly possible the problem lies in me, but either way I'd like to solve it.

 

I recently hooked up my DVX100 with the animorphic adapter. Through the sled monitor on 4x3, the picture appears as it does through the camera's viewfinder -- tall & skinny. However, when switching the sled monitor to 16x9, instead of vertically squeezing the picture down to its true aspect ratio, it vertically stretches it even more. So I end up with very tall and very skinny. I had this same issue when shooting with the new JVC HD100 which has native 16x9.

 

Is there something I've overlooked?

 

Thanks for any help,

Afton Grant

Afton-

If it's the 5 inch green screen, then pull out one of the adjusting knobs in the center and turn the knob- it adjusts for vertical height of the image. in the "in position" the knob has no effect, the aspect ratio is set to 4x3 (black bands on sides).

Spot on, Jerry. I knew it had to be something simple like that. Thanks for the help!
