To enable local video port, select this option. This option decides if the local video output of
DKVM-IP8 switch is active and passing through the incoming signal from the host system.
The option Noise Filter defines how DKVM-IP8 switch reacts to small changes in the video
input signal. A large filter setting needs less network traffic and leads to a faster video display,
but small changes in some display regions may not be recognized immediately. A small filter
displays all changes instantly but may lead to
a constant amount of network traffic even if display content is not really changing (depending
on the quality of the video input signal). All in all the default setting should be suitable for most
situations.
