Rose electronic MAN-VR2 Video Settings, Setting the Threshold manually, Virtual Media, Info

Video Settings

This dialog provides access to all of the key video settings that determine image quality and link performance.

Using automatic configurations

•Every setting can be individually subjected to an automatic configuration (click the appropriate ‘Auto’ button) and most can also be manually adjusted.

•Use the Calibrate All button to automatically determine the optimum settings for all items.

Note: Before using the ‘Calibrate All’ option, if possible, remove on-screen display (OSD) elements generated by any connected KVM switches (such as a host name label or menu). These OSD elements use different video rates to those of the host system(s) and can affect the setting of the automatic threshold value. Vista remote-2 uses an improved calculation procedure to filter out the effect of these elements. However, best results are obtained when the screen contains only host system information.

Note: To maximize performance, the threshold level is automatically increased by 50% when a slow link is detected.

Note: If the Vista Remote-2 is used with one or more KVM switches, the threshold needs to be higher than 32 due to the significant amounts of ‘noise’ that these switches introduce. The Vista Remote-2 configuration should detect such noise and adjust the threshold accordingly.

Setting the Threshold manually

Occasionally it can be useful to manually adjust the Threshold setting, in order to achieve a setting that best suits your particular requirements.

1Use the ‘Calibrate All’ function to ensure that all other settings are optimized.

2Click the Threshold left arrow button to decrement the setting by one and observe the ‘Display Activity’ indicator.

3Repeat step 2 until the Display Activity indicator suddenly rises to a much higher level (i.e. 50%). This will mean that you have reached the noise boundary. At this point, increment the Threshold value by 2 or 3 points to achieve an optimum setting.
