Working with DW Spectrum > Playback in DW Spectrum > Hardware Acceleration of Video Decoding

DW Spectrum provides experimental feature that may enhance performance by using GPU. Intel ® Quick Sync technology must be supported by the video card to enable this feature.

Additionally there are few more tricks in order to maximize the performance. It is recommended to have 2 video adapters:

•Internal Intel HD Graphics – the processor should be Intel ® Core i3, i5 or i7 and Intel ® Quick Sync technology must be supported by motherboard

•External Graphic Card (ATI or NVidia).

Finally those video adapters must be plugged in the monitor. If one monitor has several video inputs it may be necessary to plug internal and external adapters to the same monitor to different inputs. Main output should be the external graphic card. To do so:

1.Turn off the computer.

2.Connect monitor's Input port 1 to Intel HD Graphics.

3.Connect monitor's Input port 2 to External Graphic Card.

4.Switch to Input port 2 on the monitor's screen menu.

5.Turn on the computer.

Then proceed with the the following to enable hardware acceleration:

1.Open Main Menu and go to System Settings.

2.Check Use advanced hardware acceleration.

3.Click OK when done or Cancel to discard changes.

4.Restart Client.

Note: This mode is experimental and may cause some flickering, noise etc.
