Windowed
The Video Viewer switches out of full screen mode into windowed mode.
This option is available only while the Video Viewer is in full screen mode.
Fit The Video Viewer resizes to completely display the target desktop without
an extra border or scrollbars. This requires that the client desktop be large
enough to display the resized window.

Remote control video color mode

If your connection to the remote server has limited bandwidth, you can reduce the
bandwidth demand of the Video Viewer by adjusting the color settings in the
Video Viewer window.
Note: Instead of the bandwidth slider in the Remote Supervisor Adapter II
interface, the IMM has a menu item that allows color depth adjustment to
reduce the data that is transmitted in low-bandwidth situations.
To change the video color mode, complete the following steps:
1. In the Video Viewer window, click View.
2. When you move the mouse pointer over Color Mode in the menu, two
color-mode choices are displayed:
v Color: 7, 9, 12, and 15-bit
v Grayscale: 16, 32, 64, 128 shades
3. Select the color or grayscale setting.

Remote control keyboard support

The operating system on the client server that you are using traps certain key
combinations, such as Ctrl+Alt+Del in Microsoft Windows, instead of transmitting
them to the server. Other keys, such as F1, might cause an action on your
computer as well as on the server. To use key combinations that affect the remote
server, and not the local client, complete the following steps:
1. In the Video Viewer window, click Macros.
2. Select one of the predefined key combinations from the menu, or select Soft
Key to choose or add a user-defined key combinations.
Use the Video Viewer Macros menu item to create and edit customized buttons
that can be used to send key strokes to the server.
To create and edit customized buttons, complete the following steps:
1. In the Video Viewer window, click Macros.
2. Select Soft Key and then Add. A new window opens.
3. Click New to add a new key combination, or select a key combination and
click Delete to remove an existing key combination.
4. If you are adding a new combination, type the key combination that you want
to define in the pop-up window and then click OK.
5. When you are finished defining or removing key combinations, click OK.
International keyboard support
The Video Viewer uses platform-specific native code to intercept key events to
access the physical key information directly. The client detects the physical key
events and passes them along to the server. The server detects the same physical
keystrokes that the client experienced and supports all standard keyboard layouts
with the only limitation that the target and client use the same keyboard layout. If
