MediaCentral | UX User’s Guide : Working with Video Media : Playing Back at the Highest Resolution

Playing Back at the Highest Resolution
 
When you play media in MediaCentral UX in a multi-resolution environment, the media server plays the most compressed available media. You can choose to play back video at the highest available resolution. If video is available only in one resolution, the video is displayed in that resolution.
This option must be enabled by the MediaCentral administrator in the Player settings of the Systems Settings layout. For more information, see Configuring Image Quality.
If this option is enabled, you can choose to play back at the highest resolution in Asset mode or in Output mode. Use the MultiRez button, in the lower right of the Media Pane.
This option is available for both frame-based playback and file-based playback of Interplay Production assets. It is not available for Interplay MAM assets unless the Interplay MAM user is configured. See Selecting Frame-Based Playback or File-Based Playback.
To play back at the highest available resolution:
1. Click the arrow next to the MultiRez button, select Highest Resolution, then click the MultiRez button.
The button turns orange. The bottom half of the icon is black. A tool tip shows you which option you selected.
2. Play the asset.
To return to normal playback, click the MultiRez button again.
*You can select STP Target Resolution from the same button. See Reviewing in the STP Target Resolution.
