Using Matrox M.Key/100 with VFW programs

$

Alternate

Sets an alternate zig zag scanning pattern of the AC coefficient

of the DCT block as defined in the ISO/IEC 13818-2 (figure 7-3)
specification documentation. Use this setting when capturing or rendering
video at a high data rate (for example, at a data rate of 100 Mb/sec or higher).

6

Under

Rounding Type

, select one of the following:

$

MPEG-2

Rounds the AC coefficients up to the nearest whole number

when calculating the quantization coefficient.

$

Matrox Custom

Truncates the AC coefficients to the lowest whole

number when calculating the quantization coefficient. In some cases, this
setting may yield less artifacts in graphics.

7

Select the

Force Frame-based DCT

setting to render macroblocks as

frames rather than as fields. In some cases, graphics will yield less artifacts if
this option is selected.

8

Click

OK

to save your settings. The settings you selected will be used each

time you render material with your program, until you change the settings
again.
