Adjusting the Video Quality
The
Viewer

will optimize the video for the
best possible view. However, you may wish to alter the video for your specific
needs. Use the slider bar for large adjustments and the
Plus
(+)
and
Minus (-

manual video adjustment, please see Figure 5-8
Adjusting Color Depth
NOTE:
The Color command may only be used by the primary user. The command is
not available to non-primary users who are sharing the session.
NOTE:
If Background Refresh is enabled from the Session Options dialog, the color
depth will be set automatically to Best Color Available and cannot be changed.
The
Color
sub-menu allows you to set the color depths at which the digital
image can be compressed. The Remote Console Switches support the
Dambrackas Video Compression (DVC) algorithm, which enables the
Remote Console Switch Software users to adjust the number of viewable
colors in a remote session window. You may choose to display more colors for
the best fidelity, or fewer colors to reduce the volume of data transferred on
the network.
The
Viewer
window can be viewed using the
Best Color Available (slower
updates)
,
Best Compression (fastest updates)
, a combination of
Best Color
and
Best Compression,
or in
Grayscale
.
The color depths of individual ports and channels can be specified by
selecting the
View - Color
command in a
Remote Session
window. These
settings are saved individually per port and channel.
To set the color depth:
From the
View
menu, choose
Color
and select a color depth from the
Color
sub-menu.
