QUALITY (CONFIGURE)

Click the Configure (gear) button beside Destination to reveal a menu providing quality options.

The setting here affects iVGA’s video compression parameters. You can use these options to
improve performance when your local network connection lacks the bandwidth required to
deliver the highest quality iVGA output to TriCaster.

Note: Gigabit network connection provides the best transfer rates and the best quality video
output. Slower connections may cause dropped frames, and should be considered unsuitable,
especially for HD sessions. In extreme cases, where network capability is low or unreliable
because of other traffic, iVGA may still be useful for static displays.

refers to the portion of the screen that is inside a rectangular
marquee that is shown when Region is newly selected.
