Video Options

SlingStream optimizes your viewing experience. But you can also customize it if:
• you don't want SlingPlayer to consume more than a certain bandwidth.
• you still see a poor video quality image with SlingStream and the default options
To change the video options:
1. Select Player > SlingPlayer Options.
The Options window opens.
2. Update the following settings in the Video tab to customize your viewing experience:
• Automatic Buffering. SlingPlayer will select the appropriate buffer size based on your current
network conditions. It is recommended that you leave SlingPlayer in automatic buffer mode.
• Manual Buffering. Enter the desired buffer size, in seconds.
• Enable SlingStream smoothing. This option prevents jumpiness in the video when moving
frame to frame.
• Enable SlingStream optimizer. This helps keep the video playing smoothly, even in low
bandwidth situations.
• Enable fast start. This will allow you to enjoy video as soon as you select a Slingbox and press
Start. You can enable this only if you enable SlingStream smoothing.
• VMR options. Select the appropriate options. See "Video Mixing Renderer (VMR9)" on page 69.
• Original Settings. If you want to discard the current changes, click this button to return to the default settings.
3. Click OK to save the changes.
