Color/Encoding
Auto select
When ticked, this option will examine the speed of your connection to the Vista Remote 2 unit and apply the most suitable encoding method. This option is suggested for the majority of installations.
Preferred encoding
There are three manually selectable encoding methods which are accessible when the Auto select option is
• ZRLE – This is a highly compressed method that is best suited to slow modem connections.
• Hextile – This method offers better performance than the ZRLE when used over a high speed network because there is no need for the Vista Remote 2 to spend time highly compressing the data.
•Raw – This is a primitive, uncompressed method that is mainly used for technical support issues. You are recommended not to use this method.
Color level
This section allows you to select the most appropriate color level for the speed of the connection to the Vista Remote 2 unit. Where the connection speed is slow or inconsistent there will be a necessary compromise between screen response and color depth.
•Full – This mode is suitable only for fast network connections and will pass on the maximum color depth being used by the host system.
•Medium (256 colors) – This mode reduces the host system output to a 256 color mode and is more suitable for ISDN and fast modem connections.
•Low (64 colors) – This mode is suitable for slower modem connections and reduces the host system output to 64 colors.
•Very low (8 colors) – This mode provides very rudimentary picture quality and hardly any speed advantage over the 64 color setting. You are recommended not to use this mode.
