Troubleshooting Performance Issues in Projection Mapping

Fix performance problems in projection mapping. Resolve lag, stuttering, and slow performance issues.

Performance issues cause lag, stuttering, and poor playback. Identify and fix performance problems for smooth projections.

Common Performance Issues

Lag: Delay between input and visual output.

Stuttering: Choppy, uneven playback instead of smooth animation.

Dropped Frames: Frames skip or drop during playback.

Slow Response: Interface or controls respond slowly.

Hardware Issues

GPU Performance: Insufficient GPU power for complex projects. Upgrade GPU or simplify content.

CPU Bottleneck: CPU limitations affecting performance. Close unnecessary applications.

RAM Insufficient: Not enough RAM for project complexity. Add RAM or simplify project.

Overheating: Overheating causes performance throttling. Ensure adequate cooling.

Software Optimization

Performance Mode: Enable Map Club's performance mode to reduce rendering quality and improve performance.

Simplify Content: Reduce number of surfaces, shaders, or complexity.

Resolution: Lower output resolution to improve performance.

Close Applications: Close unnecessary applications to free system resources.

Content Optimization

Shader Count: Reduce number of active shaders. Each shader uses GPU resources.

Surface Count: Reduce number of surfaces if possible.

Media Files: Optimize video files—lower resolution or bitrate.

Hide Unused: Hide surfaces or layers you're not actively using.

Best Practices

  • Test performance with actual project before installation
  • Enable performance mode when needed
  • Simplify content if performance issues occur
  • Ensure adequate hardware for project complexity
  • Monitor system resources during operation

Smooth performance is essential for professional installations. Address performance issues to ensure reliable operation.
