Make bootstrap carousel responsive on height

I need to customize BS carousel, to make images size responsive corectly. I need the carousel to adapt to the height of the active slides images initiel height. When the viewport is wider than the image, the image/slide should scale up, but keep ratio. When viewport is smaller the image should scale down but keep ratio.

I have tried many variations but cannot find the right solution.

I hope some css/js expert can help me out here.

Here's my current markup:

<!-- Carousel
================================================== -->
<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" data-pause="true">
      <!-- Indicators -->
      <ol class="carousel-indicators">
        <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
        <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
        <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
      </ol>
      <div class="carousel-inner">
        <div class="item active"><!--data-src="holder.js/900x500/auto/#777:#7a7a7a/text:First slide"-->
          <img src="MediaContent/Images/Unika%20kobbertryk%201.jpg" alt="First slide">
          <div class="container">
            <div class="carousel-caption">
              <h1>Example headline.</h1>
              <p>Note: If you're viewing this page via a <code>file://</code> URL, the "next" and "previous" Glyphicon buttons on the left and right might not load/display properly due to web browser security rules.</p>
              <p><a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="#" role="button">Sign up today</a></p>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div class="item"> <!--data-src="holder.js/900x500/auto/#666:#6a6a6a/text:Second slide" -->
          <img src="MediaContent/Images/Unika%20kobbertryk%202.jpg" alt="Second slide">
          <div class="container">
            <div class="carousel-caption">
              <h1>Another example headline.</h1>
              <p>Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.</p>
              <p><a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="#" role="button">Learn more</a></p>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div class="item"><!--data-src="holder.js/900x500/auto/#555:#5a5a5a/text:Third slide"-->
          <img src="MediaContent/Images/Unika%20kobbertryk%203.jpg"  alt="Third slide">
          <div class="container">
            <div class="carousel-caption">
              <h1>One more for good measure.</h1>
              <p>Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.</p>
              <p><a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="#" role="button">Browse gallery</a></p>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <a class="left carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" data-slide="prev"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span></a>
      <a class="right carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" data-slide="next"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span></a>
    </div><!-- /.carousel -->

And heres my currently css, that does not function like desciped. This version gives me a fixed 500px height, and an image that looses aspect ratio when viewport is smaller than image width.

In the CSS selector .carousel-inner > .item > img, replace min-width with width: 100%;

.carousel-inner > .item > img {
  min-width: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

I fixed it adding a class to the images in the carousel, for example :

<img class="fixed-height">

and in the css:

.fixed-height {
    max-height: 400px;
}
