What are Visualizations and how can I use them?

RealPlayer can show a variety of colorful displays that respond to the audio signal of most media. Some of these Visualization images simply enhance your listening with color and movement. Others, such as Fire and Audio Analyzer, can help you adjust your Equalizer for better sound. (Note: Album Art is no longer available as an option for visualizations. We removed this option due to security concerns with the technology used to create these visualizations.)

Visualization images appear in the Now Playing screen.

If you are playing an item that contains its own visual element, such as video or animation, that visual element will replace the Visualization image. However, you can replace the visual element with a Visualization image by turning on a Visualization image while the video is playing.

Note: Some audio, such as MIDI content, will not work with Visualization images.

To turn visualization images on or off

1. Click the RealPlayer logo and select View > Choose Visualization.
2. Select a Visualization image from the list. To turn off the Visualization feature select None.

In the Visualization display, click or to cycle through the different Visualization images.
