Abstract
A device, system, and computer program product for quickly manually switching between quality modes for an application. The device includes an application controller and an application renderer. The application controller includes a dedicated control configured to provide a signal to switch from a first quality mode to a second quality mode. The application renderer is configured to render the application in the first quality mode and switch to rendering in the second quality mode when the signal from the dedicated button of the controller is received and the renderer is configured to interpolate between rendering settings values of the first quality mode and rendering settings values of the second quality mode over a period of time before arriving at the rendering settings of the second quality mode. Interpolation between quality modes may include changing to one or more intermediate rendering settings values before reaching the rendering settings values of the second quality mode.
