This configuration option allows video and audio to be buffered for a fixed amount of time before playback. (Recommended value: 5 seconds). Increasing this value is only needed on unstable connections.
This configuration option allows audio to be delayed, for cases where source audio and video are out of sync. Both positive and negative audio and video playback. (Recommended value: 0 frames).

Setting the ‘PTS sync’ option will force playback to use the Presentation TimeStamp (PTS) header in the IP Stream to synchronize audio and video playback. (Recommended: unchecked)
Note : Using this option will use a new mechanism to sync audio and video playback. ‘Unchecked’ is the same method as used in prior software versions and is recommended. Check this option only if default unchecked method fails to achieve proper audio and video sync

Video, Audio and Subtitle PID are usually provided by the broadcaster. If the video or audio
PID is set to ‘0’, the LPU-1000 will automatically search and play back the last video or audio stream found in the network system.
Check Force PID box to ensure the LPU-1000 to use the provided PIDs. Note: having the values set to
‘0’ will cause errors in receiving the network stream when the Force PID box is checked.
Choose between MPEG2 and H.264 (MPEG4) or Auto-Detect.
Select whether to apply 3D demux to incoming video stream. None (2d): 2D video output;
Side-by-side (3D): 3D video output with side-by-side 3D demux
Audio Type can be automatically detected, or you may choose either AC3 or MPEG2, depending on the exact audio format delivered by streaming content
AC3 audio output from LPU-1000 will pass-through as a digitally compressed audio system to an external audio processor. Select a pair of LPU-1000 audio output channels to send this pass-through compressed audio system
Setting the “PTS sync” configuration option will force playback to use the Presentation
TimeStamp (PTS) header in the IP stream to synchronize audio and video playback.
(Recommended: unchecked)
Note: Selecting this option will use a new mechanism to sync audio and video playback.
Check this option only if the default, unchecked option fails to achieve proper audio and video sync.
