Display mode
With these radio buttons you select the display mode for the image.
Device independent (DIB)
The processor actively renders the image. This color format is supported by all graphics hardware and is
recommended for applications that will be used on different PCs.
Direct3D (Desktop color)
In this mode the images are written directly to an invisible area of the graphics card, mixed with optional overlay
image data and displayed by the card without load on the CPU. The mode also allows scaling the images in real
time.
Note
The display mode Direct3D is only supported by graphics cards with DirectX functionality.
OpenGL
OpenGL is a cross-platform and cross-language programming interface for developing 2D and 3D computer
graphics. Similar to Direct3D the capabilities of the graphics card are used to increase the performance.
Open MP
Use OpenMP
OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) is a programming interface that supports distributed computing on multi-core
processors. When you activate OpenMP support, intensive computing operations, such as the Bayer conversion
, are distributed across several processor cores to accelerate execution. The use of OpenMP, however,
increases CPU load.
Default
