Options | Usage |
|
|
RGB | Drag the slider bars to adjust the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. |
| When an RGB value is increased, the RGB component of the image |
| is correspondingly increased. |
| If you enable Set to Grayscale, the remote video display is changed |
| to grayscale. |
|
|
Gamma | This section allows you to adjust the video display's gamma level. |
| This function is discussed in detail in the next section, Gamma |
| Adjustment. |
|
|
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 |
| 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 KVM Over the NETTM switch 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 KVM |
| Over the NETTM switch 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 Control Panel and other Toolbars. |
| 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. |
