Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultWhat it does
colorColor[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]The flat colour, with alpha.
format_widthInt1920Width in pixels.
format_heightInt1080Height in pixels.
pixel_aspectFloat1.0Pixel width ÷ height. 1 = square; 2 = anamorphic 2× squeeze. The viewer and every filter honour it, so a squeezed plate looks right and resamples right.
disabledBoolfalseBypass: the node passes its first input through untouched (D in the graph). The knobs keep their values for when it comes back.
labelTextA note shown under the node in the graph — what this node is FOR. Never affects the render or the cache.
