Compression Level:
you may select a value between 1 and 9 for the desired
compression level with level 1 enabling the fastest compression and level 9 the
best compression. The most suitable compression level should always be seen
as a compromise between the network bandwidth that is available, on your
video picture to be transferred, and on the number of changes between two
single video pictures. We recommend to use a higher compression level if the
network bandwidth is low. The higher the compression level the more time is
needed to pack and unpack the video data on either side of the connection. The
compression quality depends on the video picture itself, e.g. the number of the
colors or the diversity of pixels. The lower the compression quality, the more
data have to be sent and the longer it may take to transfer the whole video
picture.
If level 0 is chosen the video compression is disabled, completely.
The option "Video Optimized" has its advantages if transferring high-quality
motion pictures. In this case the video compression is disabled, completely and
all video data is transferred via network as full-quality video snippets. Therefore,
a high amount of bandwidth is required to ensure the quality of
the video picture.
