| matte |
A means of covering up part of an image. In motion picture photography and video it (as plural) generally refers to the aperture plates or other means of hiding from view the top and bottom edges, leaving what will ultimately be a wide screen movie picture. Whereas without the mattes the displayed image would be taller with extra material at the top and bottom that is really not part of the presentation.
