Noise filter

This option defines how the B050-000 reacts to small changes in the video input signal. A large filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster video display, but small changes in some display regions may not be recognized im- mediately. A small filter displays all changes instantly but may lead to a constant amount of network traffic even if the display content is not really changing (de- pending on the quality of the video input signal). All in all the default setting should be suitable for most situations.

Force Composite Sync (Required for Sun Computers)

To support signal transmission from a Sun machine enable this option. If not enabled the picture of the remote console will not be visible.
