Adjusting the video quality

The Video Viewer offers both automatic and manual video adjustment capability. Generally, the Automatic Video Adjustment will optimize the video for the best possible view. However, you may fine tune the video with the aid of Avocent technical support. See Appendix D: Troubleshooting. Video adjustment is a global setting and applies to each target device you access.

Adjusting mouse settings

The Video Viewer allows you to select among five different mouse cursor options, set up mouse scaling and resynchronize your mouse should it no longer track properly. Mouse settings are target device-specific and can be set differently for each. These setting are placed into the local client database and applied each time you launch a session to a specific device.
