This will open the viewer and automatically start playing the clip or the first item in the playlist.

Choose resolution

When additional resolutions are available for a clip, you can choose to view the clip in a higher resolution, or a lower resolution for faster loading. Choose your resolution via the resolution options in the bottom right of the viewer.

*When viewing offlined, display mirrored, or downloaded content on PIX for iOS applications, the resolution dropdown choices will be reflected as SD or HD.
