Check Player Performance

• For multi screens, use AMD Eyefinity or Intel Collage Mode to reduce the lag（College mode might not be supported.）
• When the CPU usage gets 100%, high quality videos get laggy and stop playing.
  • Reduce the size and quality of the video file with a transcoder such as HandBrake
  • Reduce the number of frames and channels
  • Try a higher performance pc
• When the CPU usage does not get 100%, the high quality videos get laggy and stop playing.
  • Convert with a transcoder such as HandBrake
  • Use the MMOS.INI setting AllowDXVA=0 (It will increase CPU usage)
• Disconnect remote desktop(VNC) during the test.
• Portrait mode (Vertical) is set in Scala Player Configuration, not in windows. Windows should remain in Landscape mode at all times.

1. Set window mode. One Channel (Window)
   • In Windows mode, consume more CPU usage to run, and also screen tearing might show due to Windows Aero.
   • Try both One Channel (Window) and One Channel (Channel)
     1. Stop Scala Player(ESC on Keyboard). Start>Scala Player Configuration>Playback>Select One Channel (Window)>OK>Close Open Scala Player and adjust the size of a window

1. Open Windows Task Manager and Resource Monitor
   • Right click on taskbar. Click on Start Task Manager and Resource Monitor...

1. Task Manager
   • CPU usage XX% Physical Memory XX%

1. Resoucer Monitor When the player crashes, check Available disk space.
   1. Before restarting the player, check disk free space. Sometimes errors in a temp file increase and the Player crashes because there is no space left.

1. Custom Players
   1. Open Scala Player Configuration>Playeback>Check the right graphics card.

1. Use Windows Performance Monitor to examine how programs you run affect your computer's performance, both in real time and by collecting log data for later analysis.

1. Open Performance monitor

2. Open Player and observe the CPU usage. Screenshots CPU usage.

Check example below, when CPU usage gets 100%, high quality videos get laggy and stop playing.

5. Test in fullscreen mode and get reports.
