Usage

 

 

Network Type

Select the type of internet connection that the local client computer

 

uses. The switch will use that selection to automatically adjust the

 

Video Quality and Detect Tolerance settings to optimize the quality of

 

the video display.

 

Since network conditions vary, if none of the pre-set choices seem to

 

work well, you can select Customize and use the Video Quality and

 

Detect Tolerance slider bars to adjust the settings to suit your

 

conditions.

 

 

Video Quality

Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall Video Quality. The larger the

 

value, the clearer the picture and the more video data goes through

 

the network. Depending on the network bandwidth, a high value may

 

adversely effect response time.

 

 

Enable Refresh

The KN1108v / KN1116v can 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

 

KN1108v / KN1116v 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.

 

Note: 1. The switch starts counting the time interval when mouse

 

movement stops.

 

2. Enabling this feature increases the volume of video data

 

transmitted over the network. The lower the number

 

specified, the more often the video data is transmitted.

 

Setting too low a value may adversely affect overall

 

operating responsiveness.

 

 

Transparency

Adjusts the transparency of the toolbar that comes up when the GUI

 

hotkey ([Scroll Lock][Scroll Lock], for example), is invoked. Slide the

 

bar until the display in the example window is to your liking.

 

 

Color Depth

This setting determines the richness of the video display by adjusting

Control

the amount of color information.

 

 

Detect

This setting also relates to video quality. It governs detecting or

Tolerance

ignoring pixel changes. A high setting can result in a lower quality

 

display due to less data transfer. A lower setting will result in better

 

video quality, but setting the threshold too low may allow too much

 

data to be transferred, negatively impacting network performance.
