Adjusting for Playback Latency
MediaCentral automatically adjusts to avoid pauses in playback (latency). By default, the MediaCentral player uses a small buffer and increases the size if the connection is interrupted or slow. The initial size is 200 milliseconds (ms), which provides very fast response when using J-K-L keys with a GigE connection.
If you find an unusual amount of latency, such as when using a remote wireless connection, you can adjust the size of the buffer to improve the playback. Select the level of latency to improve it. For example, if the latency is high (a lot of pausing or slow response from control keys), select High.
To adjust for playback latency:
Click the Pane Menu button, select Playback Latency, and select the level you want.
- Auto: The player automatically adjusts the buffer size (the default).
- Low: The player uses a small buffer (200 ms).
- Medium: The player uses a medium-sized buffer (800 ms).
- High: The player uses a large buffer (2 seconds).
