KX II use for common tasks?

Answer
There are many factors that determine how much bandwidth will be
used. The primary factor, noted above, is the amount of change in
the target server's video display. This is dependent on the user's
task and actions.
Other factors include the server's video resolution, networking
speed and characteristics, client PC resources and video card
noise.
The Dominion KX II has very sophisticated video processing
algorithms that optimize bandwidth and performance for a variety of
environments. In addition, they are highly configurable; there are
many settings to optimize bandwidth usage. In particular, the
connection speed setting in the remote clients (VKC, MPC) can be
set to reduce the bandwidth used.
Unlike the KX I, the noise filter parameter does not generally have a
large role in reducing bandwidth or improving performance of the
Dominion KX II.
Bandwidth primarily depends on the user's task and actions. The
more the server's video screen changes, the more bandwidth is
utilized.
With reduced bandwidth settings, bandwidth is reduced significantly
for virtually all tasks. With the 15-bit color setting, perceived
performance is similar to the default parameters. Further bandwidth
reductions are possible with additional changes in the settings.
Please note that these bandwidth figures are only examples and
may vary from those seen in your environment due to many factors.
The table below summarizes some standard use cases at Dominion
KX II's default and with two reduced bandwidth settings (connection
speed setting of 1Mb with 15- and 8-bit color) on a Windows XP
target server (1024x768 resolution) over a 100 Mb/s LAN.
