Buffer & Cache
The Buffer & Cache manages the buffers which affect VCube performance:
Playback Buffer
Number of Frames The drop-down list offers a choice of values between 3 and 20 frames for fine-tuning
Playback performance to the specific configuration. The lower the number, the greater
the demand will be on hard-disk or network streaming performance. A setting of 5 is
good starting point.
Multi Thread Seeking When checked enables VCube to run several simultaneous threads in order to reduce
overall disk access time.

Note: Caches are enabled by default. The application must be restarted to Change Cache values
or to Enable/Disable Caches. Values determine the amount of memory, in bytes, allocated to
Cache Memory. The lower the number, the more CPU horsepower is consumed. The effective-
ness of these settings can be monitored using the dedicated Output View [Ctrl + F9] and [Ctrl +
F 10].
