Note: The NetCommander IP will not store video settings for all of the computers/servers attached to a cascaded KVM switch. When accessing a computer/server attached to a cascaded KVM Switch, the user must re-adjust the Video Settings for the target server.

From the Toolbar, click . You have the following options:

Refresh: Select Refresh to refresh the Video image. Refresh may be needed when changing the display attributes of a Target Server.

Manual Video Adjust: Use the manual video adjustment for fine-tuning the Target Server Video Settings after auto adjustment; or, for adapting to a noisy environment, a non-standard VGA signal or when in full-screen DOS/CLI mode.

To adjust the Video manually click Manual Video Adjust. The manual controls appear, see figure below. Also a red frame appears around the screen. This represents the screen area according to the Server’s screen resolution. The various settings are described below.

Horizontal Offset: Defines the starting position of each line on the displayed image.

Vertical Offset: Defines the Vertical starting position of the displayed image.

Phase: Defines the point at which each pixel is sampled.

Scale: Defines the scale resolution of the session image.

Select Filter: Defines the filter of the input video from the server. A higher filter reduces the noise level but makes the image heavier.

Noise Level: Represents the Video “Noise” when a static screen is displayed.

Check the video cable and verify that no dynamic video application is running on the Target Server’s desktop.
