Compression
Specify the compression type that will be used to transmit the video from the unit to viewer. The
compressions are listed from the lowest to the highest data volume. Note that high compressions need
more work and thus longer KVM over IP and viewer processing times. High compressions are efficient
when the network bandwidth is low. Note that all compressions are with NO loss.
The volume of data depends on the video type. It is lower with digital than with analog video. With analog
video, it depends on the video quality setting (refer to Video Capture section).
Slow Internet: Video compression optimized for Internet bandwidth lower than 2Mbps.
Fast Internet: Video compression optimized for High Speed Internet.
LAN: Video compression optimized for 100BaseT. Note that the unit rarely use more than 10Mbps.
No Compression: This option is only useful for testing purposes. It does not provide better performance
than the LAN option. Note that "No Compression" means that a second level of data compression is not
applied.
Restrict to 8-bit: In worst cases, when the available bandwidth is below 1Mbps or even 500 Kbps, do
not hesitate to check this box to limit the color depth of the video to 8 bits. Most often is possible to work
with an 8-bit color video.
Local Cursor
There are two cursors when accessing a remote system with a viewer, the local cursor and the remote
cursor. Normally, except during movements, the two cursors should be superimposed. Refer to the
description below if there are some troubles on the cursor.
No Cursor: Due to personal preference, some may find confusing having two mouse cursors.
Dot: Having a dot as local cursor can help identifying which cursor is local and which one is remote.
Normal: Having a big local cursor accelerates the mouse utilization. The reason is that you can click on
an element in the screen without worrying whether the remote cursor has already reached this element
or not. Only the local cursor is relevant. This option is recommended.
