Appendix 5 - Browser viewer options

When you are connecting to the AdderView CATxIP 5000 using a Web browser, a number of options are available.

Click here to access the options

There are four options pages:

Encoding and colour level

Auto select

When ticked, this option will examine the speed of your connection to the AdderView CATxIP 5000 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 unticked.

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 AdderView CATxIP 5000 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.

Colour level

The colour level is fixed at Medium (256 colours) for almost all browsers.

Inputs

View only (ignore mouse & keyboard) When ticked, the viewer will not send keyboard or mouse information to the AdderView CATxIP 5000 or host computer.
