Performance settings

The VIVE Business Streaming software uses a two-way data stream to ensure efficient transmission with low latency. Get up to 3072 x 3072 pixels per eye with the new Ultra Mode to have a higher PC streaming visual quality.2 The software also features three additional performance modes and an auto-streaming mode that adjusts for less than ideal PC and network conditions.

High resolution and refresh rate

A high standard resolution and refresh rate ensures the content will look sharp and detailed.

Foveated enhancement

Foveated enhancement is an always-on optimization feature that provides maximum visual fidelity at the center of the user’s visual field where details are most critical. To keep a balance between visual quality and latency, VIVE Business Streaming is engineered to keep things running smooth and sharp without content developer involvement.
