Video Settings

Note: A selection of local and global video image adjustments are available within the Remote Console window by clicking the ‘Options’ button and selecting the ‘Video Settings’ option. See Remote Console Video settings for more details.

Noise filter

This option defines how the SmartView World reacts to small changes in the video input signal.

•A large filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster video display, but small

changes in some display regions may not be recognised immediately.

•A small filter displays all changes instantly but may lead to a constant amount of network traffic even if display content is not really changing (depending on the quality of the video input signal). All in all the default setting should be suitable for most situations.

Video Quality and Speed

Using this option it is possible to tune the video system of the SmartView World to either maximise picture quality or speed. When set to ’best quality’ the picture looks clean but the video update speed won’t be as fast as possible. If responsiveness is more important to you than achieving the best quality, set the option to ’high speed’. In this mode, artifacts will appear. An intermediate setting is also available. Please note that the difference is only clearly visible when using fast network links and the normal compression for the Remote Console.

Custom Video Modes

Using this option it is possible to add video modes that are not recognised using the factory settings. This may be useful when using special mode lines in a X-Window configuration on the host or with uncommon hosts or operating systems. This option is for advanced users only, it is possible to influence

the correct video transmission by using this option, so use it with care! The maximum number of custom video resolutions is 4.

Custom Modes Handling

Options are ‘Off” (disabled – no custom modes), ‘Additional’ (custom modes used in addition to the standard video resolutions) or ‘Only’ (custom modes used exclusively). With the last option it is also possible to force a special video mode for the SmartView World.

To change the parameters for a mode, choose the number and click ‘Update’. It is necessary to provide some information so the video mode may be correctly recognised:

X Resolution

Visible number of horizontal pixels.

Y Resolution

Visible number of vertical pixels.

Horizontal Frequency (Hz)

The horizontal (line) frequency in Hz.

Vertical Frequency (Hz)

The vertical (refresh) frequency in Hz.

Total horizontal pixels

The total amount of pixels per line, including the non-visible and blanking area.

Polarity

The polarity (positive/negative) of the synchronization signals. V means vertical, H means horizontal.

Description

Here you can provide a mode name that is displayed in the Remote Console if this custom mode is activated.
