Video

To set the options (see below), click the "Apply" button.
1. Local Video Port Settings
Enable Local Video Port
This option monitors the local video output of the RIPM, and indicates
whether it is active and passing through the incoming signal from the
host system.
2. Miscellaneous Video Settings
2a. Noise Filter
This feature defines how the RIPM 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 immediately. 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 (depending on the quality of the
video-input signal).
2b. Force Composite Sync (Required for Sun Computers)
To support signal transmission from a Sun machine, enable this option.
If this function is not enabled, the picture of the Remote Console will not
be visible.
3. Custom Video Modes
The maximum number of custom video resolutions is four.
The "Custom Modes Handling" option lets you disable custom modes
("Off"), or set standard or exclusive video resolutions ("Only"). A final option
("Additional") allows you to force a special video mode for the RIPM. To
change the parameters for custom video mode, choose the appropriate
number from the selection box and press the "Update" button. You will be
required to provide some additional information so that the video mode can
be correctly recognized:
Warning: The "Host Monitor Settings" option is for advanced users only.
Using it incorrectly can damage video-transmission performance. Please be
sure that you understand the feature thoroughly before attempting to adjust
the Host Monitor Settings.
