3.Again, press the Auto Adjust button once.

4.The B050-000 detects the video mode with 8 bits (256 colors) automatically. To improve the picture quality you may select 16 bit (True Color) from the Options Menu of the Remote Console, sub menu “Encoding”, entry “Color Depth” (see the Section called Encoding for details).

5.Finally, if the the Remote Console transfer rate is too high you may do an ad- justment using the Noise filter. The higher the filter level the more information is filtered from the transferred video picture (see the Section called Video in Chapter 6 for details) and the data rate is reduced.

Currently, the video picture with the best quality can be achieved with the settings “16 bit (High Color)” in the Remote Console or “LAN (High Colour)” in the web frontend. This option can also be preset in the Section called User Console in Chapter 6.

The sub menu “Compression” from the Options menu has no influence on the picture quality but on the data rate of the picture that is transferred to the Remote Console.

Reducing the Noise of the Video Picture

To reduce the noise from the video picture for the Remote Console you may adjust the Noise filter. Prior to that we recommend to optimize the video picture as described in the Section called Optimizing the Video Picture.

In most cases the rate of transferred data indicates the noise level. The higher the transfer rate, the higher the noise of the video picture. You may do an adjustment using the Noise filter. The higher the filter level the more information is filtered from the transferred video picture (see the Section called Video in Chapter 6 for details) and the data rate is reduced.
