About AREA DATA TYPE SELECT

FAQ_AboutAREADataTypeSelect

The AREA DATA TYPE SELECT screen is where you choose, acquire, and decide which data to play with from the AREA selected in the AREA SELECT screen. You play by choosing from the four types of data types and two types of distribution types explained in “What is AREA.”
The reason you need to select a data type is that there may be differences in communication methods, data resolution, and whether the video data for AREA is in stereoscopic view or not, which may not be playable on your device or environment.
Please confirm whether your device can play it beforehand using data such as Before You Play before acquiring it.
