digital video format standard. Often YV12, YUY2, UYVY, MCS3,
MCAM, IMC3, etc. is displayed and may include other formats.
After installing CyberLink PowerDVD Ultra, the diagnostic

• Surface Type: The default commonly used that supports display
captions is “overlay”, “Hardware Video Accelerator” or “Hardware
Video Accelerator (DxVA)”. Occasionally, it may display “off-

make overlay mode available for optimal performance.

Overlay feature.
