In the configuration-window you will find several options which allow you to fine-tune
your overall experience with realityplayer.

Select Display Type
The Display-Type selection in the configuration dialog should be set to the attached
3D-display. If there is no 3D-Display connected to your computer, you may either
choose 2D-Display or Anaglyph. This will allows for viewing 3D media files on a standard
2D-Display. If you own a 3D-Display currently not listed in this dialog, please contact our technical-support: support@realityfabrik.com.

Select Audio Device
If multiple sound-interfaces are installed into or connected to your computer, the Audio-
Device selection allows you to choose which one will be used by realityplayer for
playback of media files.

Adjust horizontal Viewer-Position
With this slider you can move the center-view of the 3D-display to the left or right.
You should do so, if see a non-satisfying 3D-image when standing approximately centered
at the optimal-viewing-distance in front of your screen.

Adjust Viewing-Distance
Your 3D-display is engineered for an optimal viewing distance. With the “Viewing-Distance” slider you can optimize this value to your current viewing situation. Shifting
the slider to the left decreases, shifting the slider to the right increases the optimal
viewing distance of the display. Test images for the adjustment of the optimal viewing
distance can be ordered for a small fee from purchase@realityfabrik.com.

Softmode
This option changes the default for the Rendermode discussed in “3.1.1 Selecting the
Rendermode“, when loading new files into the playlist. Choose this setting to fit your
personal preferences.

Fullscreen
This option changes the default behaviour of our realityplayer when being started. If
this option is set, it will start in fullscreen-mode.
Note:
The realityplayer should best be run in full-screen mode. Thus, activate
the full-screen-checkbox on normal operations. For stand-alone applications,
compare also section 3.4, Automatic Playback, of this manual.

Window-Modes: The realityplayer features two distinct window-modes, full-screen and windowed. The windowed mode is recognizable by normal windows decorations of your operating system around the 3D playback window. They allow you to resize, move and position the 3D playback window to any position on your screen estate.
The behavior of the player is different when operating in full-screen mode as opposed
to windowed mode. In full-screen mode, the full area of the screen is used for 3D
playback and no window decorations are visible around the 3D playback window. The
player checks whether one or two screens are attached to your computer. In case just
a single screen is found, the player uses this screen for 3D playback.
In case you operate in a 2-screen environment, the realityplayer assumes that the
secondary screen is the 3D display. The primary screen usually shows a taskbar and
other stuff which is not visible at the secondary screen. If in doubt, make sure that
the screens are numbered correctly in your display settings.
You can easily switch between windowed mode and full-screen mode by double-clicking
in the center of the 3D playback window.

Lock to Display
This option (Fig. 2, p. 3) will lock the 3D display’s update-frequency with the players
internal frame-update-frequency. This can prevent tearing which might occur otherwise
under certain circumstances.
Note:
Please keep in mind, that this feature, depending on your graphics-hardware
and or it’s driver, may be supported or not. If this option is enabled
and there still is visible tearing, it might be worth choosing the primary
port (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort) of your graphics adapter for attaching the
3D display. If this still does not work, it is highly likely that your graphics-
adapter does not support this feature at all.
As it may have a small impact on the overall performance it is recommended to leave
this disabled on low-end machines (like for instance notebooks).

Resource-Level
The Resource-Setting allows you to fine-tune the use of your computer’s hardware by
your realityplayer. Real-time decoding and playback of 3D media is a demanding
task, and the hardware of your computer might not be able to deliver performance at
the highest settings.

Resource settings:

• low: this setting allows to play back 3D media files with machines which do not have a perfect hardware environment.
• medium: is a good compromise between 3D display quality and resource demand; it is intended to be used for notebooks with good gameing graphics.
• high: uses all hardware resources your computer has to offer and delivers the highest visual quality possible with your machine.

Warning:
Please do a longer test-run with the chosen setting to find out if your hardware
can handle the resource demand. An inappropriate setting can severely
damage your hardware!
Make sure with appropriate monitoring that neither your CPU nor GPU is
overheating during playback. If this happens for a specific setting, choose
a lower one!
