Audio options

In audio options you can select what sound card you want to output the audio on and what output volume and panning you want.

To enable or disable audio use the checkbox in the Playback Options section.

Under Audio options you can also enable the special Multi-screen auto volume mode. This mode enables automatic change of volume depending on how far away the object is in relation to the output screen. If you tick the Adjust balance checkbox, the audio will also be panned (left/right) depending on the horizontal position. Min and max distance lets you alter the range of where the volume will be silent to where it will be in full strength.

Video options

In video options you can select a different video renderer and enable de-interlace of interlaced captured video. Normally you should use the Default renderer.
