If you need to improve the quality of the stream and/or still images (including text), you may need to adjust some settings from their default values. Please note that some features have specific hardware and software requirements that must be met.
Settings
- H.265 encoding/decoding
- 4:4:4 color
- Constant FPS
To enable the settings above, follow the steps below:
- On the client computer, click the 'Settings' cog.
- Set 'H.265 (HEVC)' to 'On'
- Connect to the host computer
- Click the Parsec overlay icon
- Enable the following
- 'Prefer 4:4:4 Color'
- 'Constant FPS'
After enabling the settings, they should persist through sessions and app restarts. These settings can also be enabled by adding the relevant key/value pairs in the advanced configuration file.
Improve Color Accuracy (Experimental)
If you require greater color accuracy than enabling 4:4:4 color can provide, you can try enabling 10-bit color. Please note, this is an experimental feature that has only been tested to improve color accuracy [Delta-E 0.5] when connecting between modern Intel and Nvidia hardware, and we do not guarantee the same results on all systems:
Tested on:
Client
- Intel 11th gen or later
- Nvidia 2000 series or later
Host
- Nvidia 2000 series or later
To enable 10-bit Color follow the steps below:
- Click on the 'settings' cog.
- On the 'Client' tab, set '10-Bit Color' to 'On'.
