6. KVM Operation (continued)
6.6.6 Remote Control Panel (continued)
The table describes each of the settings in the Video Settings screen:
Setting Description
Screen Position Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the remote computer window by clicking the arrow buttons.
Auto-Sync Click the Auto-Sync button to automatically synchronize the remote screen with the local screen.
Note: Upon performing an Auto-Sync, the local and remote mouse pointers are automatically synced as well.
RGB Drag the slider bars to adjust the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. If the Set to grayscale checkbox is checked, the remote video is
displayed in black and white. Setting the video to grayscale will decrease the amount of information traveling over the network and
can help improve keyboard and mouse response time.
Gamma This setting allows you to adjust the video display’s gamma level. (See the Gamma Adjustment Section for details.)
Video Quality Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall video quality of the remote screen. A higher video quality setting may slow down the key-
board and mouse response time.
Enable Refresh The KVM switch can be set to redraw the screen every 1 to 99 seconds, eliminating unwanted artifacts from the screen. Check the
Enable refresh checkbox and enter in a number from 1 to 99 to have the KVM refresh at the desired time intervals. By default, this
feature is disabled, and the Enable refresh checkbox is unchecked.
Transparency This setting adjusts the transparency of the remote OSD toolbar.
Color Depth Control This setting adjusts the amount of color information that is being sent over the network. To enable this setting, check the Enabled
check box. A higher setting will provide more color, which may slow down keyboard and mouse response time. A lower setting will
reduce the amount of information being sent over the network, and may improve keyboard and mouse response time.
Gamma Adjustment
If it is necessary to correct the gamma level for the remote video display,
use the Gamma function in the Video Settings screen.
