ENABLING DIRECTDRAW VIDEO HARDWARE ACCELERATION
If your computer’s video hardware supports Microsoft
®
DirectDraw
®
extensions, you can enable DirectDraw to enhance video performance.
Enabling DirectDraw improves performance by delegating graphics acceleration duties to your PC’s video hardware instead of your computer’s
main processor.
To enable DirectDraw hardware acceleration:
WARNING: Do not enable DirectDraw on the Client application unless you are certain that your hardware supports DirectDraw hardware
acceleration. Check the documentation that came with your PC and your graphics card before enabling DirectDraw. Although some VGA
cards support DirectDraw, not all are compatible with the DX8000 Client application. Check the Pelco Web site for a complete list of
compatible VGA cards.
