PowerBoost Settings

Transmission Mode Streaming is the default and applies to network connections with low bandwidth and high latency. Select Synchronous if the network connection has very high bandwidth and low latency, which is common in local area networks.
Transmission Format H.264 is the default and uses relatively little bandwidth, which increases performance. Lossless provides slightly higher image quality, but consumes much more bandwidth and reduces performance.
Streaming Bitrate (Mbit/s) Higher values increase image quality but consume more network bandwidth. Lower values save bandwidth but reduce image quality.
Maximum Framerate (FPS) Higher values increase image quality but make the application less responsive. Lower values increase responsiveness but reduce image quality.
Latency Higher values increase image quality but make the application less responsive to user input (such as camera movement). Lower values increase responsiveness but reduce image quality.
