OpenGL and Direct3D

The OpenGL and Direct3D pages of the Advanced Properties page are divided into two sections: Main Settings and Custom Settings.

Main Settings

In the Main Settings section there is a slider bar which allows the user to adjust the OpenGL or Direct3D settings for optimum performance, optimum quality or for a point in between. There is also a checkbox provided for enabling Custom Settings.

Custom Settings

Note: Barco recommends that you use the default settings, unless your viewing application vendor provides detailed information on custom settings.

In the Custom Settings section the user can fine tune the following options:

•Anisotropic filtering

•SMOOTHVISION

•Wait for Vertical Sync

Anisotropic Filtering

Anisotropic filtering is a technique that preserves detail on surfaces that have three-dimensional perspective and fade away into the background. It works best when used in conjunction with Mipmapping.

Anisotropic filtering can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality.

Note: If you are unsure how to configure anisotropic filtering, use the Application Preference option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application’s requirements.
