Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 540 and 720 video resolution?

The ClassX video player offers 540 and 720 display resolutions. The higher resolution will provide a higher definition image quality and improved viewing at a larger size. To change the video resolutions, click the "Resolution" option located on the video player and select from 540 or 720 for the resolution you want to load. Please note that Firefox will only offer the 720 progressive playback option due to Firefox limitations with mp4 playback.
