Black borders around mirrored iPad screen

I have a Apple TV HD connected to an Epson Projector via a HDMI cable. When I mirror my iPad screen and the projector projects the image it is not full screen and instead has black borders around the entire projected image. My Projector has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and so does the iPad. Why is this?

The Apple TV outputs a 16:9 image.

iPad 4:3 → Apple TV (+pillars on the sides to make it 16:9) → projector (+letterbox to fit 16:9 in a new 4:3 aspect ratio)
