Allows to adjust both compression rate and the colour depth individually. Depending
on the selected compression rate the data stream between the DKVM-IP8 switch and the
Remote Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Since high compression rates
are very time consuming, they should not be used while several users are accessing the
DKVM-IP8 switch simultaneously.
The standard color depth is 16 Bit (65536 colors). The other color depths are intended for slower
network connections in order to allow a faster transmission of data. Therefore compression level
0 (no compression) uses only 16 Bit color depth.
At lower bandwidths only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2 Bit (4 gray scales) are recommended
for typical desktop interfaces. Photo -like pictures have best results with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1
Bit color depth (black/white) should only be used for extremely slow network connections.
