Manual Video Adjustment
Generally, the Video Viewer window automatic adjustment features will optimize the video for
the best possible view. However, users may fine tune the video with the help of Avocent
Technical Support by using the Tools - Manual Video Adjust command in the Video Viewer
menu or clicking the Manual Video Adjust button. This displays the Manual Video Adjust
dialog box.
Video adjustment is a per target setting and applies to each target device you access.
Modified video settings are written to the KVM switch. Settings are also stored per
port/channel session on a system when they are made and saved so they may be used during a
non-shared session as follows:
• If sharing is not enabled, the video settings made on the local KVM switch during the
session are used.
• If sharing is enabled for the non-primary user, video settings are read from the KVM
switch.
See Connecting to an existing session on page 288 for information about session sharing.
Users may verify the level of packets per second required to support a static screen by
observing the packet rate which is located in the lower left-hand corner of the dialog box.
