Desktop Player Settings

Reading time ~1 minutes

Use this tab to define the output parameters of the built-in Clip Viewer.

Desktop_player

Select the desired option from the "Desktop player" drop-down list:

Select_desktop_player

"Standard desktop player" is set by default. Please select "DVS desktop player" or "Blackmagic Design desktop player" only when the relevant board is physically present.

With "Standard desktop player", deinterlacing is performed on your graphics card. The quality of deinterlacing depends on the card itself and its driver settings.

However, you can permanently switch deinterlacing on or off, or to deinterlace in pause only:

  • Deinterlace – use the drop-down list to select deinterlacing type:

    Select_deinterlace

    deinterlace_always

    deinterlace_still

    deinterlace_never

    "Always"

    "Still" (paused)

    "Never"

  • Show Start/End Hints – enable/disable the start and end hints in Clip Viewer.

    Show_start_hint

    Show_end_hint

    "Start" hint

    "End" hint

  • Show Media Offline Hint – enable/disable the "Media offline" message for those items when media is offline but the database entry is still present.

With output set to "DVS desktop player" or "Blackmagic Design desktop player", a drop-down list will appear allowing you to select the desired video format for the SDI output:

DVS_desktop_player
