When to use do not use a video codec

In scenarios where image quality in combination with VDA scalability are the most important factors, you can consider using our Thinwire Full Screen Encoder mode. Not using a video codec can maximize VDA scalability as in general it has a lower CPU overhead than using a video codec for compression

In most of these cases, however, our selective encoder, especially when paired with Build to lossless or intelligent build to lossless will deliver the same quality, better performance and lower bandwidth than when not using video codec compression.
