Navigation:  Working with DW Spectrum > Playback in DW Spectrum > Setting Item Resolution

It is possible to override the default image quality for a single item in layout. This is useful, for example, when you need to reduce client CPU usage (in which case you set playback to low-resolution), or to enhance image quality for a given item (in which case you set playback to high-resolution). Note that this setting is saved for each item individually, so it is possible to have the same device playing back at different resolution levels in different layouts. Alternatively, all the items in a layout can have their resolution set at once (see "Setting Layout Resolution").

Fullscreen mode and dewarp mode will always display an item at the highest possible image quality (see "Fullscreen Mode" and "Dewarp Mode" for details).

Note: All image quality settings are dependent on the camera's primary/secondary stream settings in DW Spectrum and any inherent limitations the camera may have (see "Dual Streaming").

To specify item playback resolution

1.Right-click on the item in layout to open the context menu and choose Resolution.

2.The default is Auto. Select High or Low.

3.Click the information icon or use the item context menu Show Info (Alt+I) to confirm the setting (see "Image Display Controls").
