You can adjust the image quality of the live video by setting the display mode, filtering mode, vertical synchronization mode, and rendering engine.

Note:

The settings will be effective for all cameras on the Software.

Set Display Mode

You can click View > Display Mode and then select 30 fps or 60 fps to set the image frame rate to 30 frames per second or 60 frames per second respectively.

Note:

The larger the image frame rate, the better the image quality.

Set Rendering Engine

You can click View > Rendering Engine to set the rendering engine mode to D3D or GDI.

Note:
  • By default, the rendering engine mode is set to GDI, which is applicable to all PCs for it doesn't have requirements for the performance of the graphics card.

  • The image quality of D3D mode is better than that of GDI mode, but D3D mode is only applicable to the PC which has been installed with graphics driver (and the available memory of the graphics card should be more than 1 GB).

Set Filtering Mode

During live view, you can click View > Filtering Mode to select the filtering mode so as to change the image quality level.

The image quality levels of different filtering modes: Disabled < Nearest Filtering < Bilinear Filtering< Anisotropic Filtering.

Note:
  • You should have set the rendering engine to D3D before setting filtering mode.

  • The better the image quality, the more system resources will be occupied.

  • For details about live view, see Acquisition and Live View.
