Adaptive field frame controls
Description
The following are the settings and internal algorithms tied to the scan type:
-
Picture Adaptive Field Frame (PAFF): This setting is automatically enabled on GPU-enabled versions of Elemental Live and automatically disabled on CPU-only versions.
-
Macroblock Adaptive Field Frame (MBAFF): This setting is automatically enabled on CPU-only versions of Elemental Live and automatically disabled on GPU-enabled versions.
-
Force Field Pictures: This field appears only if the codec is H.264 and only affects GPU-enabled versions of Elemental Live.
-
Enabled: All outputs are forced to use PAFF field picture encoding.
-
Disabled: Elemental Live switches between PAFF and MBAFF, depending on the content.
-
Recommendations
-
Force Field Pictures results in a significant reduction in quality so it should only be used if required for compatibility with specific decoders or playback devices.
