Chapter 4. Configuration
Fixed Mouse Speed
This mode just translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a way that one pixel move will lead to n pixel moves on the remote system. This parameter n is adjustable with the scaling. It should be noted that this works only when mouse acceleration is turned off on the remote system.
Single/Double Mouse Mode
This mode is described in the Section called Single and Double Mouse Mode.
Auto Mouse Speed and Mouse Synchronization
The automatic mouse speed mode performs the speed detection during mouse syn- chronization. Whenever the mouse does not move correctly, there are two ways for
Fast Sync
The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary but fixed skew. Choose this option from the Remote Console Options menu (entry: Mouse Handling). If defined you may also press the mouse synchronization hotkey sequence (see the Section called Remote Console Control Bar in Chapter 5 for details) .
Intelligent Sync
If the Fast Sync does not work or the mouse settings have been changed on the host system, use the Intelligent Synchronization, instead. This method adjusts the parameters for the actual movement of the mouse pointer so that the mouse pointer is displayed at the correct position on the screen.
This method takes more time than the Fast Sync and can be accessed with the appropriate item in the Remote Console Option menu (entry: Mouse Handling).
The Intelligent Synchronization requires a correctly adjusted picture. Use the Auto Adjustment function or the manual correction in the Video Settings panel to setup the picture.
Furthermore, the shape of the mouse pointer has a significant influence on the pointer detection. We recommend to use a simple, but common pointer shape. In most cases, the detection and synchronization of animated pointer shapes is likely to fail. In general, pointer shapes that change during the pointer detection process are rather impossible to figure out in the transferred video picture. With the usage of a standard mouse pointer shape the detection is rather simple and the syncronization is at its best.
Figure 4-3. Remote Console Control Bar: Sync Button
The Sync Mouse button on top of the Remote Console can behave differently, depending on the current state of mouse synchronization. Usually pressing this button leads to a Fast Sync, except in situations where the video mode changed recently. See also the Section called Remote Console Control Bar in Chapter 5.
Note: At first start, if the local mouse pointer is not synchronized with the remote mouse pointer, press the Auto Adjust Button once.
