Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable? (infosec.pub)

Picked up a Hyperkin Dreamcast cable that outputs via HDMI. I tried it out and it’s displaying in this tiny box on my TV. The box on the cable has no settings and the TV is a 1080 Sony Bravia.

I’m not sure what options I have aside from stretching the image via the TV settings but if anyone can assist, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

480i/480p is 1/4 of 1080p so that seems accurate to me.

Dreamcast is the purple square in the upper right:

Appreciate the graphic! I'm definitely going to need to look into an upscaler sometime in the near future.
