Title safe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Title safe or safe title is, in television broadcasting, a rectangular area which is far enough in from the four edges, such that text or graphics show neatly: with a margin and without distortion. This is applied against a worst case of on-screen location and display type. Typically corners would require more space from the edges, but due to increased quality of the average display this is no longer the concern it used to be, even on CRTs.
The size of the title safe area is typically specified in pixels or percent. For more details, see Overscan. Suggested amounts are given in Overscan amounts, but there are no technical standards, at least officially.
