Appendix 5 - Browser viewer options

When you are connecting to the ServSwitch CX Uno IP using a Web browser, a number of options are available.

Click here to access the options

There are four options pages:

Encoding and color level

Auto select

When ticked, this option will examine the speed of your connection to the ServSwitch CX Uno IP 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 ServSwitch CX Uno IP 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

The color level is fixed at Medium (256 colors) for almost all browsers.

Inputs

View only (ignore mouse & keyboard) When ticked, the viewer will not send keyboard or mouse information to the ServSwitch CX Uno IP or host computer.
