Using accurate audio/video synchronization - Amazon DCV

Using accurate audio/video synchronization

The Accurate Audio/Video synchronization setting enables a mode that minimizes the time difference in audio and video playback. This mode is useful in workloads that require the video and audio to be accurately synchronized, such as lip sync.

Note

This feature may produce a lag in the perceived responsiveness of the remote system.

Accurate Audio/Video Synchronization functionality is supported on Windows and Linux servers with hardware GPU acceleration, and for console sessions only. It is supported on all native clients.
