LOLA: Low Latency Audio Visual Streaming System
- 40% = low video quality but low cpu usage and overall better performance.
Incomplete frames rendering threshold: when using uncompressed video you can also
select the incomplete frames rendering threshold (Fig. 3); 0% means that Lola must receive ALL
video packets from the remote host in order to correctly render the entire video frame. Setting a
percentage between 1% to 10% means that Lola can render the video frame also if it hasn't received
all the necessary packets to rebuild the entire frame: in case of some lost network packets, this
results in small black lines randomly rendered on the display surface. In normal operation
conditions, there shall be no lost data packets, thus this parameter shall be left 0% (which is the
default value). Use it only if you experience some small network problems wich affects video.
Network Adapter Section: inside this section you can select the desired Network Interface
Controller and to apply or not the “IP and UDP Advanced Filtering” option. This last option should
be always checked except in case of network connection errors or the inability to complete the
negotiation between the hosts.
4.2. Connection with a remote host
The simplest way to connect to a remote host is by specifying its IP address in the Remote
IP Address box and clicking on the Connect button. You can also assign a “Session name” label for
easier identification into the corresponding box.
You may also load a previously saved “Session Configuration File” in which the address
information for a given host is stored. These are files with extension .ssn , and can be loaded/saved
using the File Menu (Fig. 6). These files are stored into the same folder where the LOLA
application is. The configuration stored into the “LastSsn.ssn” file is always the settings used in the
last LOLA session. If you want to create your own LOLA address/configuration book, just create
one .ssn file per each site you usually connect to, and then recall the appropriate one when needed.
To remove a stored session configuration, just delete the corresponding .ssn file in the LOLA folder.
