Setting the Resolution for a Player

You can set the resolution that a Player view or the fullscreen Player uses. This is useful for improving playback performance when a high resolution image is not necessary.

To set the resolution the Player uses:

1. In the Player view or fullscreen Player, middle-click or press the tilde key (~) to display the Gate UI and go through the south gate.
2. In the Player options, select the Display tab, and locate the Streams area.
   
3. Select the resolution you want the Player view to use.

   The Player immediately updates to use the resolution you enable.

Things to Remember

• When you launch the fullscreen Player from a Player view, it uses the resolution set for that Player view. In all other cases it uses full resolution.
• The mini-Player always uses proxy resolution.
• When you zoom out in the Player, the resolution is automatically adjusted to the optimal one for that zoom level. This reduces the load on the computer.
