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.

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.
