Using the B050-000 with Low Bandwidth

The network connection of the B050-000 has a big influence on the amount of time between two single frames of video.
On a connection with low bandwidth it takes longer to transfer the video data from the B050-000 to the Remote Console
on the local host. If the remote screen changes, a new picture is sent. In terms of transfer time there is no difference between
text screens and screens in graphics mode. The video picture is taken as graphics data no matter what the screen looks like
and whichever video mode is chosen. In terms of transferred data there can be an improvement. The compression plays an
important role here. You can choose a compression level from the sub menu "Compression" in the Options menu of the
Remote Console. Please note that the video will be compressed on the B050-000, transferred to the Remote Console and
unpacked in a Java environment. Depending on the remote host and on the local machine this procedure may take some
time and may result in a slow updating picture in the Remote Console. To improve the speed you may also set the picture
quality in the Remote Console to either "8 bit" or even to grayscale. Because less video data is processed, this is likely to
be more effective than the highest compression level.
