Scrcpy Settings and Quality Tuning

The Configurator sub-tab in Scrcpy provides comprehensive controls to balance visual quality, frame rate, latency, and network bandwidth.

Video Settings

1. Resolution (Max Size)

Caps the maximum dimension of the video stream while preserving the target device’s aspect ratio:

  • 1080p (Default): Balanced sharpness and performance.
  • 720p: Recommended for slower Wi-Fi networks or older devices.
  • 480p: Ultra low bandwidth mode for high latency connections.
  • Auto (Original): Uncapped original device display resolution.
  • Custom Resolution: When enabled in App Settings, tap Add Custom (+) to enter any custom resolution height/width (e.g. 1440 or 1600).

2. Frame Rate (Max FPS)

Limits the video encoder frame rate:

  • 60 FPS (Default): Smooth, fluid animations and scrolling.
  • 30 FPS: Reduces CPU and Wi-Fi load by half.
  • 15 FPS: Low-power monitoring mode.
  • Custom FPS: Enter any custom limit (e.g. 90 or 120 on supported hardware).

3. Video Bitrate

Sets the target compression bitrate:

  • 8 Mbps (Default): High fidelity video output.
  • 4 Mbps: Good balance for standard 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks.
  • 2 Mbps: Low data usage mode.
  • Custom Bitrate: Enter custom values in Mbps (e.g. 12 or 16).

4. Video Codec

Selects the hardware video encoding format on the target device:

  • H.264 (Default): Compatible with almost all Android devices.
  • H.265 (HEVC): Better compression and quality at lower bitrates, requires hardware HEVC support.
  • AV1: Advanced open-source video compression on modern Android 14+ chipsets.

Audio Settings

Dioxamine supports real-time target device audio forwarding over ADB.

Requirements:

  • Audio forwarding requires the target device to run Android 11 (API 30) or newer.

Options:

  • Forward Device Audio Toggle: Enables real-time audio playback on your host phone speakers or headphones.
  • Audio Codec: Choose between Opus (Default), AAC, FLAC, or uncompressed RAW.
  • Audio Bitrate: Select audio quality: 64 Kbps, 128 Kbps (Default), 192 Kbps, 256 Kbps, or 320 Kbps.
  • Don’t Mute (Audio Duplication):
    • By default, Android mutes the target phone speakers when audio is forwarded.
    • Enabling Don’t Mute plays audio simultaneously on both the target device and host phone.
    • Requires target device to run Android 13 (API 33) or newer.
