Use Hardware Video Acceleration
This controls whether OpenKJ uses hardware acceleration for video scaling and rendering. This option is not visible on macOS, hardware acceleration is not currently supported on that platform. On Linux this uses XVideo acceleration and on Windows it uses DirectX. Normally, this should always be checked unless your system's hardware or drivers don't work properly with hardware acceleration.
¶ Enforce Aspect Ratio
If enabled, video output will respect the original aspect ratio. If disabled, the video will stretch to fill the video output window/screen.
¶ Video Offset Adjustments
Adds padding to the four sides of the screen when the video window is displayed fullscreen. This allows you to compensate for TVs/displays that have a bezel covering part of the visible region of the screen.
¶ Background Image
If selected and an image is set, this will be displayed on the CDG window when no karaoke song is currently playing.
¶ Slideshow Directory
If selected and set to a directory containing image files, the program will cycle through each image in the directory, displaying each one for several seconds. A good use for this is showing advertisements for other weekly activities at the venue or to display drink specials and such.
¶ Ticker
If enabled, a ticker will crawl across the bottom of the CDG window showing the current singer and information about the size of the rotation and who the upcoming singers are.
¶ Font
Allows you to change the font and font size used in the ticker
¶ Ticker Height
Allows you to fine tune the height of the ticker.
¶ Speed
Controls how fast the ticker scrolls across the bottom of the CDG window
¶ Text Color

¶ Background Color

¶ Show Full Rotation
If selected, the full rotation (all singers) will be shown in the ticker
¶ Show next n singers
If selected, only up to the specified number of upcoming singers will be shown in the ticker.
¶ Custom Message
Allows you to add a custom message to the ticker. There are a few variables you can also use that will be substituted with current rotation data.
| %curSinger | The name of the current singer |
| %curSong | The song the current singer is performing (artist - title) |
| %curArtist | Artist of the song that the current singer is performing |
| %curTitle | Title of the song that the current singer is performing |
| %nextSinger | Name of the next singer in the rotation |
¶ Show duration remaining on singer display for karaoke tracks
If enabled, a floating remaining duration widget will be displayed over the video window. You can drag it around the window with your mouse to position in wherever you want it to be.
