Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 139)

• Maintain Framerate: This setting determines whether or not frames are dropped in
order to maintain the project's frame rate during playback.
• If Maintain Framerate is turned on (the default): The current frame rate is maintained
no matter what the current processing workload is. If the currently playing grade is
processor-intensive, then frames will be dropped during playback to maintain the
project's frame rate. If not, playback occurs in real time.
• If Maintain Framerate is turned off: Every frame is always played back. If the currently
playing grade is processor-intensive, playback will slow to avoid dropping frames. If
not, playback may actually occur faster than real time.
• Synchronize Refresh (slower): Turning this option on eliminates video refresh artifacts
in the monitored image. (These may appear as "tearing" of the video image.) It affects
playback performance, but only slightly, resulting in a playback penalty of approximately
1 fps.
