Description

 

 

 

 

Screen Position

Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the remote computer window by clicking the Arrow buttons.

 

 

 

Auto-Sync

Click Auto-Sync to have the vertical and horizontal offset values of the remote screen automatically detected and

 

synchronized with the local screen.

 

Note: If the local and remote mouse pointers are out of sync, in most cases, performing this function will bring them

 

back into sync. This function works best with a bright screen. If you are not satisfied with the results, use the Screen

 

Position arrows to position the remote display manually.

RGB

Drag the slider bars to adjust the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. When an RGB value is increased, the RGB

 

component of the image is correspondingly increased. If you enable Set to Grayscale, the remote video display is

 

changed to grayscale. Setting the video to display in grayscale will decrease the amount of data traveling through the

 

network and improve keyboard and mouse response time.

 

 

 

Gamma

This setting allows you to adjust the video display’s gamma level. This function is discussed in detail in the next section,

 

Gamma Adjustment.

 

 

 

Video Quality

Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall video quality. Although a higher video quality setting improves the overall video,

 

it also increases the amount of data traveling through the network. Higher settings may slow keyboard and mouse

 

response time.

 

 

 

Enable Refresh

The B064-series KVM Switch can be set to redraw the screen every 1 to 99 seconds, eliminating unwanted artifacts

 

from the screen. Select Enable Refresh and enter a number from 1 through 99. The KVM Switch will redraw the screen

 

at the interval you specify. This feature is disabled by default. Click to put a check mark in the box next to Enable

 

Refresh to enable this feature.

 

 

 

Transparency

Adjusts the transparency of the Control Panel. Slide the bar until the display in the example window is to your liking.

 

 

 

Color Depth Control

This setting adjusts the amount of color information for the video data sent over the network. The richer the color, the

 

greater the data. For slow data connections, drag the slider bar to a lower setting to decrease the amount of video data

 

transferred. This ensures screen refreshing at workable speeds.

 

Note: For this feature to take affect, you must check the Enable check box next to the Color Depth Control bar.

 

 

 

Detect Tolerance

This setting sets a threshold for filtering out undesired screen artifacts. Note: Setting the threshold too high may filter out

 

desired screen changes. Setting the threshold too low may allow unwanted artifacts to display, in addition to increasing

 

the amount of video data transmitted over the network.

 

 

 

Gamma Adjustment

If it is necessary to correct the gamma level for the remote video display, use the Gamma function of the Video Adjustment dialog box.

Under Basic configuration, there are ten preset and four user- defined levels to choose from. Go through the options in the drop- down list box to find a setting that works for you.

For greater control, clicking the Advanced button brings up the following dialog box:

Click and drag the diagonal line at as many points as you wish to achieve the display output you desire.

Click Save As to save up to four user-defined configurations derived from this method. Saved configurations can be recalled from the list box at a future time.

Click Reset to abandon any changes and return the gamma line to its original diagonal position.

Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.

Click Cancel to abandon your changes and close the dialog box.

Note: For best results, change the gamma while viewing a remote computer.
