Color Accuracy

When Color Accuracy is selected, all video modes are rendered in full
24-bit color with more compression artifacts.
This setting applies to viewing video streams such as movies or other
broadcast streams.
In lower quality video modes, sharpness of fine detail, such as text, is
sacrificed.

Video Mode

The Video Mode slider controls each video frame's encoding, affecting
video quality, frame rate and bandwidth.
In general, moving the slider to the left results in higher quality at the
cost of higher bandwidth and, in some cases, lower frame rate.
Moving the slider to the right enables stronger compression, reducing
the bandwidth per frame, but video quality is reduced.
In situations where system bandwidth is a limiting factor, moving the
video mode slider to the right can result in higher frame rates.
When Text Readability is selected as the Optimized setting, the four
rightmost modes provide reduced color resolution or no color at all.
These modes are appropriate for administration work where text and
GUI elements take priority, and bandwidth is at a premium.

Noise Filter

Unless there is a specific need to do so, do not change the noise filter
setting. The default setting is designed to work well in most situations.
The Noise Filter controls how much interframe noise is absorbed by the
Dominion User Station.
Moving the Noise Filter slider to the left lowers the filter threshold,
resulting in higher dynamic video quality. However, more noise is likely
to come through, resulting in higher bandwidth and lower frame rates.
Moving the slider to the right raises the threshold, allows less noise and
less bandwidth is used. Video artifacts may be increased.
Moving the noise filter to the right may be useful when accessing a
computer GUI over severely bandwidth-limited connections.
