BufferWindow Property

Summary

Gets or sets the maximum latency (time in milliseconds) between stream reception and display.

Syntax

C++

public int BufferWindow { get; set; }

Public Property BufferWindow As Integer

public: 
property int BufferWindow { 
   int get(); 
   void set (    int ); 
}

Property Value

A value that represents the maximum latency (time in milliseconds) between stream reception and display.

Remarks

Gets or sets the maximum latency (time in milliseconds) between stream reception and display. A latency of -1 indicates that the buffer window is unknown. The larger the buffer window, the higher the quality in the case of video streams. However, do not use streams that have widely different latencies. Call the WMProfile.ReconfigStream method to have the new value take effect. For more information, refer to the Microsoft documentation for IWMStreamConfig.GetBufferWindow.
