Name Description
Advanced
Advanced settings such as maximum decoding threads,
deinterlacing and time zone settings.
Maximum decoding threads controls how many decoding threads
are used to decode video streams. It can help improve performance
on multi-core computers in live as well as playback mode. The
exact performance improvement depends on the video stream. It is
mainly relevant if using heavily coded high-resolution video streams
like H.264, for which the performance improvement potential can be
significant, and less relevant if using, for example, JPEG or MPEG-
4.
With deinterlacing, you convert video into a non-interlaced format.
Interlacing determines how an image is refreshed on a screen. The
image is refreshed by first scanning the odd lines in the image, then
scanning the even lines. This allows a faster refresh rate because
less information is processed during each scan. However,
interlacing may cause flickering, or the changes in half of the
image's lines may be noticeable.
