SheerVideo User Manual Sheer SettingsVectorized Code
Many of SheerVideo's codecs are available in two forms: scalar code, to run on a scalar processor;
and vectorized code, to run on a vector processor.
The vectorized code speeds up encoding and decoding by nearly a factor of two,
but increases energy consumption, which can be an important consideration on battery-powered computers.
At the bottom of the Algorithms section of the Sheer Settings dialog box, select one of the following radio buttons:
-
Scalar (energy saver), to have SheerVideo execute a scalar code version of the codec,
to save battery power on a laptop with a vector processor, such as a PowerBook G4.
-
Vectorized (faster), to have SheerVideo execute a vectorized code version of the codec.
When available, this is the default value.
